    Just wanted to create a place where all forum members can post their political positions using this test to see where we all stand politically:
    http://www.politicalcompass.org/test

    Here's where I stand:
    Economic Left/Right: -3.38
    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.72

    Mod edit: Here's the compiled list of all the users on the forum with over 100 posts... Big thanks to CorB for compiling it

    PS this thread (along with other stickies) is immune to necroposting. We encourage users to take the test and learn more about themselves and where they stand politically

    Seems I'm closest to the Lib Dems of the UK. In all reality I would never support the kinds of social programs they champion; I'm not sure why they scored so far to the right really.

    Economic Left/Right: 3.88
    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.13

    I don't really feel like going through all the motions again, last I took it I was very left on the humanitarian scale and very decentralized (or un authoritarian) on the gov't power scale

    Right next to Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, and the Dalai Lama. I'm in good company.

    It would be great if we could somehow combine everyone's results into a Scatterplot. It would show the political leanings of the whole community at once.

    Wouldn't be difficult, but adding onto it would be rather tedious. Maybe I'll post one up if JVS decides to take part.

    Yeah, that would be quite awsome.

    Anyway, here is my score.

    Economic Left/Right: -2.50
    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.67


    Not s for left or Liberal as I expected, but far enough from Thatcher to feel comfortable.

    I'm surprised how far left I scored on it.
