SUMMARY

The Political Compass Test, consisting of approximately 50 questions on social and political issues, provides users with a score that positions them relative to historical figures such as Genghis Khan, Gandhi, and Nelson Mandela. Participants reported varied scores, with some identifying closely with moderate views while others expressed extreme political orientations, such as Anarcho-communism. The discussion highlighted the test's perceived simplicity and accuracy, with users sharing their scores and engaging in light-hearted banter about their political identities.

Economic Left/Right: -1.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.23

I'm close to Gandhi.

That's good I guess.

Some things I accept and some things I don't.

Like Aristotle said... some things are just naturally wrong.

You shouldn't be liberal about things that are naturally wrong.

Again, like Aristotle said... find the intermediate.

heh. I'd say that's about right.

When I hit the final button and saw the name Hitler load at the top of the comparison graph... well, I was a bit worried for a minute too.
