You might have fun taking this test at PoliticalCompass.org.
Just answer a few multiple choice questions and it will tell you where stand on the political spectrum compared to some famous world leaders and political philosophers.
The Editor and the Administrator took the test and we came out surprisingly, freakishly close, both over there in the conservative-libertarian quadrant near Friedman. We’re hoping that’s Milton Friedman, not Kinky Friedman.
Take the test and leave a comment telling us where you landed on the chart.
Here’s where the Editor charted:
And here’s where the Administrator charted:

I landed 3/4s of the way right and pretty much center between Authoritarian and Libertarian (a little more Libertarian).
Though, frankly, I feel I'm more Libertarian than the test says.

According to this one, I'm 100% Libertarian lol
Yes, I like the test that Grammar linked to. I'm 100% Libertarian. That agrees with the card in my pocket.
I almost hit the bullseye, one line right, one line below center. I must be getting more mellow in my old age. Or, it could be that I just got home from work after a 12 hour shift and read through the questions to quickly while drinking a beer. Or two.
I must be mellowing in my old age. I have been tested several times and have always been pegged as type A/A. On this test I fall one little square below and to the right of dead center. Oh my, oh my.
almost dead center. i knew it
Funny I am pretty much on the right side of the middle and on the bottom side of authoritarian.

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: 4.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.00
Just a skosh to the left of the Administrator ;-P
0.88 and -1.44
I think questions such as the first one, where you are forced to choose between two evils in a situation that you deplore, artificially skew the results. I feel that I am much more of a Libertarian than the test showed. At least that's what the card in my pocket says.
Economic Left/Right: 0.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.03
Crap. I think I'm a close liberal. Damn, does this mean I have to stop laughing whenever I see Chris Matthew's face? I always knew I had a secret Olbermann connection that only he and I could understand. Now, it is confirmed.
Ah well, better start shining up my Birkenstocks for the big PETA rally at Berkley.
Whew, I did not realize how centrist I was, I am one square below the middle line and smack dab in the center of the left right line. And all this time I thought I was a libertarian.
