Political Compass

Economic Left/Right: -2.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.82

This political compass test was a bit sketchy for me...I didn't really understand what some of the questions had to do with my political ideology...and furthermore it seemed like the questions were geared towards a specific answer...towards a particular area of the graph...although I have to admit that several of the questions caused to me think a little bit more about very different ideas and conceptions people might have in our world...For example, I'm sure that there are people out there that hate the diverse population we have in the world today...but I'm not accustomed to being subjected to their rascist slanders on a daily basis...so to see it so bleakly put out there pushed me back into the world we live in today...its not perfect...and its not going to be perfect or ever even close to perfect...there will always be divisions...which is what most of the questions are geared towards answering...instead of focusing more on the theories that attempt to make the world a better place...it focused more on the test takers view on the divisions in the world...and it helped me realize that, that is what our world is based on...division...
