Political Compass

There was this test a while back but it should be interesting to take again. Back then I didn't know what lot of the stuff meant and the details about other things but I pretty well understand it now. I'll update my post when I'm done

O hecc lol

basically i hate everyone

Fun fact I'm Canadian  w o k e
You don't have to worry about me being on American soil but I'm not exactly communist either.

Pretty much where I expected to end up

Alright so here's the thing.


This specific political compass test is honestly pretty terrible. I used to be a big proponent of the test and would say it worked but after looking at the questions a little more I realize that it's not likely to give you a good representation. Simply put, the test isn't specified nearly enough. The questions it asks are far too broad in scope and implication, and there's very little you can actually do to qualify your responses.

For a quiz that's far more likely to represent your political views, I'd suggest looking at "I side with" (www.isidewith.com/political-quiz). Yes, I realize that it's very heavily focused around American politics, but even THEN its questions are a lot better. Rather than have "yes" or "no" you can ask for "more stances", and if you're unsatisfied with the amount of questions you can ask for more in a specific field. Hell, you can even rank how important an issue actually is to you, so it can be properly weighted in the test. This test takes a whole lot longer, sure, but it's far more likely to be representative of your political affiliation (it basically gives you the same table at the end anyways).

Also for those who don't know, going across is the economic scale, while going up and down is the social scale.

But even then I decided to do it. these were my results:



For comparison, this is where I was at last time I took the test:



So a small shift left and a huge shift down. I don't think either of these really represents me well enough though, which is why I dislike this test now. More often than not I find it's used by people to say "SEE LOOK I'M A LIBERAL" before they go on to spout right-wing talking points.

EDIT:
I took the other test and this is what I got. I'm the one with the star. The other ones are different political parties (Libertarians, Dems, Socialists, GOP, etc)

That's pretty fucking libertarian lol

That's true lol.
