NO LONGER EVEN REMOTELY NEW! - Political Matrix Thread

[Grad Students are the Worst]

Thanks to Gabu, I've designed a web site for the Atlas Forum Political Compass, which I've renamed the Political Matrix.  Yes, I know that is a dumb name, but most of the good ones are taken and I am lazy.

In any case, bugs are fixed, questions have been added, and soon we will be readying cool graphs and results explanations.

I personally think this test generates better results than the Political Compass, although it still may need some work.  Anyway, post scores/comments here.

Again, much better than the Political Compass.  I hope it makes the PC obsolete so we can completely do away with it.  I recomend Alcon unsticky it.

My scores:
Economic score: -3.38
Social score: 0.18

You may want to explain the scores a little bit better at the end for people who don't know what they mean.

First non-Cashcow complaint: Question 20 is a bit confusing. I sat at my computer, thinking "WTF?", then I said "Wow, I'm a real dumbshi.t.".

Anyways, my score:
Economic score: 2.00
Social score: -6.91

[TexasGurl]

Economic score: -10.00
Social score: -6.36

Your score pegs you as economically and socially strongly libertarian. <----Funny

It's not all that different from my Political Compass score.

The code isn't complete on that part yet.  Ignore it.

Economic score: -10.00
Social score: -6.36

Haha!  That is funny.

There's supposed to be something after "economically."  That's what I get for being a lazy bastard, I suppose.

Good to know that I am economically and socially " "

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Economic -6.31, Social -6.73

Hmm, different from my Political Compass score. Maybe I should have clicked the "Important" box more.

It being different from the Political Compass is definitely not necessarily a bad thing.

If scores were supposed to be identical to Political Compass scores, I would have stole every single question from the Political Compass.  I'm trying to get scores that are accurate, not PC-ish. 

[MaC]

Econ: +6.62
Social: -3.45

It's about what is to be expected.  Perhaps I am too moderate.

[Gabu]

This test will be updated later with both a graph and a description of both your social and economic position... however, that will come when Alcon and I stop having school work and/or being lazy.

Also, nobody has commented on the top banner yet.  It took quite a while to make that, damn you.

[ilikeverin]

Economic score: -3.54
Social score: -1.09

Your score pegs you as economically and socially .

Yay, I am and 

[Wrecking Ball and Chain]

Economic score: -5.54
Social score: -6.18

[DanielX]

Result:

"Economic score: 7.08
Social score: -1.82

Your score pegs you as economically anarchocapitalist and socially .

Anarchocapitalists generally believe that the free market should be unregulated and laissez-faire in nature, with government either only intervening in extreme cases or never intervening at all. They also believe in significant reductions of government services."

Waitasec... Anarchocapitalist? That's a little extreme...

[Gabu]

Waitasec... Anarchocapitalist? That's a little extreme...

+7 to +10 is the "anarchocapitalist" range.  Don't blame me; Alcon wrote the descriptions.

[Harry]

I didn't get a description

[Nation]

Result

Economic score: 1.54
Social score: 0.73

[Q]

Economic score: 1.92
Social score: -2.64

How much does checking the box after the question matter?  I didn't check any of them - maybe that's why I'm slightly more moderate here?
