Political Compass

Forget about mental illness for a while and just let loose in here.

Not really leftist, as far as I can tell. It is redundant, though, because the 'test' doesn't tell you anything about where you stand. You tell it.

I didn't necessarily mean for people to reveal their political orientations, if they don't want to. But I do find the site interesting, especially where it collocates our present-day politicians.

It's true, it's a test that reveals one's ideals, but hey, maybe if we were all a bit more consistent with our ideals....
What I find interesting is that the Libertarian left, Authoritarian left, and authoritarian right are chockers full of politicians, but there is literally no significant political figure of past or present times in the libertarian right quadrant.

Really, it's odd.

Not really. The test supplies you with a sieve through which you HAVE to sift through your true stand (if you want to take it). Through this your stand becomes formed, or distorted. So, the test does tell you where you stand according to its standards.

As far as I know a rightist stand, it just loves standards on which it judges itself and others. A leftist stand is less judgmental, therefore less "test-like".
