Cool political quiz/ visualization
SO I found this neat political quiz, I thought it might be a good way to display our different political leanings simply.

Re: Cool political quiz/ visualization
Some of the questions need another choice. Like this one:
Controlling inflation is more important than controlling unemployment.
Strongly disagree
Disagree
Agree
Strongly agree
I would have chosen the government has no right to do either. I chose "Disagree" because their premise in asking the question is wrong. The Brits have strayed from the Magna Carta.

Re: Cool political quiz/ visualization
Wow most of those questions are totally leading and the fact that I disagree with the question puts me in the authoritarian left. Which is completely bunk.

I'm sorry. I really am. I feel bad for you. There is no light down here in the lower right quadrant. Only cynical cold hard facts, hopefully splashed with some humor and common sense.Joel wrote:ajax wrote:chart.png

Re: Cool political quiz/ visualization
My test looked almost exactly like silver's test.
I suspect that if a person does not view the world through the establishment's "right / left" paradigm, the dot will be in an unlikely place.
I must have gotten just enough libertarian background from a boss in my formative years to offset the authoritarianism inculcated in me by LDSCo.
Alas - I am lukewarm, and fit to be spit from the paradigms of man.

Re: Cool political quiz/ visualization
I have undergone somewhat of a paradigm shift in the last 5 years. I took the test again, based on how a 5 year younger Obrien would have responded. I went from the libertarian side of the line to the authoritarian side of the line. My 5 year ago self ( as best as I remember him) would have been exactly like silver, just 2 lines into the authoritarian side of the equation. Maybe my paradigm has shifted less than I thought. Perhaps I am just older now, and not willing to be trammeled by an authority.

Re: Cool political quiz/ visualization
Yeah, most seem to be framing the question. Plus, why poll with words like 'sometimes' or 'usually'? At least draw the line somewhere so we can answer ideally.
