OT:Political Test

[Daoud]

After Gary starting talking about his political alegiences, I dug up this political Test. See where you all lie both economically, and socially

http://politicalcompass.org/

[Daoud]

I was -2.56, 2. Meaning I lean to the socialist side economically, but to the Authoritarian side socially (both moderatly though)

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

that was brilliant - i was left wing(moderate) and also authoritarian(moderate)

[Khalil]

I am a left wing liberal like Nelson Mandela |-A

Yeah. I am proud of that

I am a left wing liberal

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -0.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.03

I'm left of centre I'm moderately a leftist and also moderately Authoritarian

[Schiller]

Economic Left/Right: -2.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.15

So what does this mean?

[Khalil]

Anyone else took the test ?

Any Hitlers around ?

[Schiller]

I wanted to be one but I failed miserably dammit

[Daoud]

Most people here seem to be moderate left wing authoritarians. In fact, most Pakistanis I know do end up there. Any reasoning? I guess being muslims our answers would be a bit 'conservative' on social issues

[catwoman]

This is what I got...

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: 3.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.05

[Daoud]

Mona is probably closest to Hitler

[Schiller]

not sure daoud, shes an economic rightist which is quite different

i think i should take it again :-D

[catwoman]

I'm close to Paul Martin :-p

[Raz]

Economic Left/Right: -1.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.54

Im similar to Hitman. Moderately on the left and moderately authoritarian.

I think its got a lot to do with being Muslim

[Officer Barbrady]

Economic Left/Right: -1.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.56

moderately a leftist and also moderately Authoritarian as hitman

Umar u are on a leftist (economically) and centrist.

[Schiller]

im quite the leftist i noticed in economy which is ridiculous and a centrist otherwse which makes sense.
though someday perhaps stalinistic urge would rise
ha

[Muddaser]

Economic Left/Right: -2.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.64

Close to the Pope!

[Schiller]

jesus

[Schiller]

:-D

[Muddaser]

Did anyone get results close to Hitler?

[Schiller]

Ill try this time to get there :-D

i was on the left line, plumb centrist

[Abdul Qadir 236]

Economic Left/Right: 0.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 2.97

[Daoud]

I guess Gary is similar to Hitler economically. A milder version in authoritarian terms though

[Abdul Qadir 236]

i believe in little govt intervention
lower taxes
lower benefits
greater incentive to work
if ur good enough to earn money u should keep more.

[Tapori]

This deserves a bump - See where your thinking is at on the Political spectrum.

Be interesting to see which political affiliations people have and then see if the map shows them to be somewhere else.

[DeadlyVenom]

Economic Left/Right: -5.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.51

I dunno what it means tbh

[Markhor]

Economic Left/Right: 4.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.05

Right-wing libertarian.

I think I'm mostly a liberal conservative,so sort of to the right of the Liberal Democrat party and to the centre of the Conservative party.So I guess the current coalition government suits my political beliefs.

[Markhor]

Economic Left/Right: -5.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.51

Left-wing.

[DeadlyVenom]

I dont think I am left wing though...quite conservative actually.

Respect to Nelson Mandela!

a decade ago, nelson visited uae and praised monarch and even preferred uae way to democracy (as per uae media).

very distasteful it was.

I was in the same quarter as Stalin :)) quite far away from him though!!

Maybe A Pak Journalist can do an Analysis to determine Paks Leading Politicians Compass positioning.

Just slightly in the Authoritarian field. Not surprised, bit surprised by the leftist part though. I even said the businessman and manufacturer > the artist and writer.

http://politicalcompass.org/facebook/pcgraphpng.php?ec=-2.00&soc=0.51

[Tapori]

Deadly Venom - LOL

Quarters aren't that major; Many Devout Muslims I'm Sure will be in a Stalin or Hitler Quarter.

The Position is key; If your plot is Right next to Stalin/Hitler Then you should go back and find out why you believe what you believe... Or take the test again.

[Tapori]

GOAT - Interesting - They won't just use one question though, they've designed it as best they can to stop everything hinging on question.

[GOAT]

My general attitude was always towards the democratic and responsible, restricted free market though. I guess the latter is what did it, I'm just barely over the line though. Just .51 up.

[Tapori]

Yeah, a restricted Free Market is quite left of centre so yeah.

Just interesting thats all. Hey maybe record this snapshot now and see how you feel in say 5 years?

i suspect many peoples Political views, greatly change once they start raising CHildren of their own...

Taken the test again,turned out to be even more right-wing :))

[duostyle]

:))

It's quite interesting indeed. Been pondering over the results. I’m actually quite satisfied with where it put me. Always knew I was a bit less conservative than some of the folks around me. Being leftist was never going to be a surprise (I imagine that was based heavily on how you answered the globalization, free market and third world related questions).

[Tapori]

Centre Left

[Fawad2010]

a bit surprised to see myself be that far left, but I tried to be as honest as I could...

[anakwalajinn]

Is OT political test haraam? Is it haraam to participate in "western" politics? :)

[Mohsin]

Very close to mine.

Yeah, a little surprised actually to be that far left. I thought id be a little more right wing...mmh!

On a side note...wanna start a political party together lol? :zardari

[ElRaja]

i did this a few times before, when i was 16 i was a liberal socialist, when i was 18 i was a centrist liberal, and now.......... (5.12, -3) right wing liberal.

i fing most young men of asian descent i know who are late teens, early twenties tend to be fairly leftist.

especially in current political, economic climate i dont find this leftism to be too surprising.

it would be cool if someone could make a composite of all the diagrams, to get a general feel of pp's political leanings.

It depends on how accurate the test results are, as well. I have a feeling that those who have had moderately leftist in the results might actually be moderately right.

yeah for sure, theres always margin for error, but if you are within -1, to +1 i would not take that as being rightist or leftist, more centrist.

[Dr. Schaden Freud]

I think, I'd take -3 to +3 to be centrist. Just my opinion on the results.

[James]

Great thread, enjoyed the test. Confirmed what I've suspected for some time - centrist. My little red dot was almost dead in the centre.

I'm more of an observer than anything, and if I have strong views (I have the odd one) then I will argue them to the death, whilst still seeing the other side of the argument.

Done this before but just did it again anyway. I got

Bullseye!

I think its important to yearly question what your values are and why you believe what you believe.

Where are the Right Authoritarian PP'ers?

What does that mean?

[ElRaja]

Economic Left/Right: -0.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.79

What does that mean?

it means you favour a balanced economy where government gets involved but does not interfere too much in economy, and you are slight authoritarian, i guess thats pretty self explanatory.

hardly anyone is authoritarian, surprising.

[Tapori]

Left of centre, leaning towards Authoritarian.

Have their ever been ANY centrist Authoritarian Figures in the world, or is that an oxymoron?

[Tapori]

ElRaja

Young Asians;

I unfortunately see more Authoritarian streaks in those emerging from less diverse areas.

So lads from the depths of certain all Pak/Muslim towns, generally IMO (yes IMO - Just sayin what I see) have more in common with lads from predominantly white towns
than say two different ethnicities raised in Brixton who tend to be more libertarian.

By 'eck its Grim up north.

^-0.50 is too small so I can be considered a centrist

hmmm, interesting, i dont really know where those two gents would fit, altho i think jinnah was more liberal and open minded, especially considering the era he was a part of.

What area are you from bro, i grew up in hackney, most of the desis i knew were were frm hackney, waltham forest, tower hamlets area, so i cant say about any other places.

most guys i knew were very chilled out.

i now live in in outer london / essex, proper white area but i tend to find most ***** are liberal and open minded with respect to minorities, etc, ive never felt like an outsider.
