Where are you on the Political Compass?

With people from a huge range of backgrounds i thought it would be interesting to find out where people stand politically.

The survey is a bit American slanted but they do have a faq here http://www.politicalcompass.org/faq

Here are some famous people through history.

For the Americans here are how the candidates placed in the last election.
US Presidential Election
2012



For the Brits here are how the parties place.
UK Parties 2010

Canadian parties
Canada 2011



Here i am according to http://www.politicalcompass.org/test
Economic Left/Right: -4.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.56


http://www.politicalcompass.org/charts/crowdgraphpng.php?ejcot=-4.3%2C-4.6


So where do you place on the political compass?

I think this test is crap, besides the results in this forum, very few people will be authoritarian or to the right.

OK, I took the test again to reach the Right/Authoritarian spectrum. In order to do that, I should think that:

- My race is superior to others
- My country should nuke any other country, for whatever reason
- Corporations should do whatever they want with environment
- Everyone should pay for water
- If you produce nothing but just play with money, that's fine
- The rich are too highly taxed
- Businesses that mislead the public shouldn't be penalized
- Monopolies are fine
- Abortion should be made illegal
- An eye for an eye, etc.
- No funding for Culture
- It's good to spank children who misbehave
- It's a crime to smoke pot
- Disabled people should be neutered
- First-generation immigrants never get fully integrated
- A one party State would be more efficient
- Why do you care about electronic monitoring, something to hide?
- Death penalty? Yes!
- Abstract Art is degenerate
- Women are made to make children
- No sex outside marriage, it's just immoral
- Gay couples should not adopt
- Pornography should be made illegal
- Being homosexual is a mental disease
