Title: Who Are We?
Post by: Clark on February 20, 2011, 11:39:56 PM

Some political websites have tests you can take to see where you stand (according to them).

I have theories about why LOS player are different, but perhaps I am wrong.  I'll post my own results later.

But where do you stand?

I usually end up in the "somewhat right, somewhat libertarian" area. I think the questions are half-baked and rating Thatcher as 2/3 of a Stalin is crazy. Just IMO.

I'm usually a good long way left of Ghandi, with fascist tendencies.  ???

Mahatma Hitler  :P

I have a colleague who refused to do the test because he didn't like the questions, but I just go with it.

And Thatcher was the "Iron Lady": not nearly as authoritarian as Stalin, pro free markets, and she didn't kill 30 million of her country folk.  Still, it is a reasonable spot to put her on  this measure.

Would that be Lawful Good?  :-X

I tend to be centrist with libertarian leanings.  It's the subscales where it gets a bit weird.

Just as a note, OKCupid is a dating site run by Harvard math students, PoliticalCompass is run by some African-American journalists, and yourmorals is run by a bunch of academics and their work is peer reviewed.
