Take it. I like it better than Political Compass. www.goldengiven.net/polimatrix/thetest.php Economic score: +1.42 Social score: +4.87 Your score pegs you as economically centre-capitalist and socially moderately authoritarian. Centre-capitalists often support free trade and low taxes, but take pragmatic stances on economic issues, supporting what they see as the best balance between encouraging business and maintaining free trade. Moderate social authoritarians typically support social controls meant to encourage moral behaviour and an organised society, although they may have some moderate or libertarian positions. |

It wasn't bad. I kinda enjoyed it, since it was short but still had a lot of stuff in it.
Economic score: -4.65
Social score: -3.3
Your score pegs you as economically moderately leftist and socially moderately libertarian.
Moderate economic leftists generally support regulation of free trade and business to assure that workers are fairly treated and prices remain stable.
Moderate social libertarians generally favour a hands-off approach to social legislation. They may believe that the government has no right to enforce morals, but may support certain controls on individual rights to avoid crime, drug use, or similar social ills.

Your score pegs you as economically moderately leftist and socially libertarian.
Moderate economic leftists generally support regulation of free trade and business to assure that workers are fairly treated and prices remain stable.
Social libertarians generally believe that the government should not judge morality, and are generally against the illegalization of things that do not directly affect other people in a negative way. Many strong social libertarians may also be social progressives, favouring legislation to correct what they see as socially backwards governmental regulation, although some simply wish for the government to make little judgment on social matters.

Your score pegs you as economically centre-capitalist and socially authoritarian.

Economic score: +8.42
Social score: +4.97
Your score pegs you as economically extremely capitalist and socially moderately authoritarian.
Extreme capitalists generally believe that the free market should be unregulated and laissez-faire in nature, with government either only intervening in extreme cases or never intervening at all. They also believe in significant reductions of government services. Many extreme capitalists believe that it is not the government's responsibility to assure welfare for the poor, but rather that the poor should fend for themselves or receive welfare through some form of private charity.
Moderate social authoritarians typically support social controls meant to encourage moral behaviour and an organised society, although they may have some moderate or libertarian positions.

I don't think my economic score is probably that accurate, I just didn't ever check the box for "very important" next to an economic issue, while there were a lot of social issues I did.

Social score: -7.22
Your score pegs you as economically moderately capitalist and socially far-leftist.
Moderate capitalists usually support free trade and low taxes, but take pragmatic stances according to what they believe will be best for business and workers.
Social far-leftists generally believe that the government has no business enforcing morality on most matters, instead favouring a government that intervenes only when absolutely necessary to avoid direct harm. Many social far-leftists also look negatively on the government's past attitudes toward groups they view as persecuted, although some simply oppose government intervention on utilitarianist grounds.
Hmmmmm....that's about right. Am I the only one who was conservative on one side of the issues and negative on the other? You know, true small government thinking...

Economic score: +1.81
Social score: -0.7
Your score pegs you as economically centre-capitalist and socially centrist.
Centre-capitalists often support free trade and low taxes, but take pragmatic stances on economic issues, supporting what they see as the best balance between encouraging business and maintaining free trade.
Social centrists generally believe in a mix of individual liberties and controls, corresponding to what they see as moral or best for society.
I had to answer neutral on a lot of the questions because I didn't know anything about them so I think that's why my numbers are close to zero.

Mr. +4.97 on social issues really? That's not big government no? work on your counting imo Take your own advice on that. + scores on that make you a social authortarian by the test standards. That means you feel the government should step in and define morals and enforce certain things like no gay marrage, no abortion, ect. I assume that's your position and I'm arguing that's big government. Unless you know, you posted the wrong score. |
