NO LONGER EVEN REMOTELY NEW! - Political Matrix Thread

[Ebowed]

Retook w/ new questions

Economic score: +2.29
Social score: -3.23

Your score pegs you as economically centre-capitalist and socially moderately libertarian.

Centre-capitalists often support free trade and low taxes, but take pragmatic stances on economic issues, supporting what they see as the best balance between encouraging business and maintaining free trade.

Social libertarians generally favour a hands-off approach to social legislation. They may believe that the government has no right to enforce morals, but may support certain controls on individual rights to avoid crime, drug use, or similar social ills.

What idiot thinks that I'm a Stalinist? Stupid Alcoun.

I've been meaning to change that based on BRTD's suggestions, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.  Yes, I agree that that was a dumb pick.

Gabu did the image, not me.  As he said, he's been meaning to change it.

(You would have known Gabu made the image if you had actually read the first page of the thread, by the way.)

Economic score: 2.23
Social score: -4.45

Took the test again- Now 2.46 and -4.36 so little change. Puts me in the Libertarian area once again. This test if far more accurate for me, and less volatile than the political compass.

2.46 and -4.64 - Still stable!

Economic score: +1.64
Social score: -3.92

EDIT: Slight change in my score from last time, slightly different questions I think. But - the result is almost spot on. Social Libertarian and 'centre-capitalist' which is a new wasy of describing me- but seems right.

Economic score: -3.29
Social score: +1.23

Your score pegs you as economically moderately leftist and socially centre-authoritarian

Moderate economic leftists generally support regulation of free trade and business to assure that workers are fairly treated and prices remain stable.

Social centre-authoritarians generally have moderate social views, with a slight lean toward government intervention. They may have moderate cultural and religious views, but on the whole believe that the government should assure that society should stay moral.

Which means, I'm something of a populist (in line with most other tests I've taken). That said I was once described as a Conservative Libertarian - was it being serious?

[Jim Valvano]

E 4.62, S 2.55

Probably should be higher for both categories since I usually am more reserved with putting "strongly agree/disagree" than I ought to be.

E 6.57, S 3.54

I'm becoming more extreme!

New questions are excellent.

Economic score: -0.71
Social score: +9.85

Your score pegs you as economically centrist and socially strongly authoritarian.

Economic centrists generally support economic policy that they see as fit for specific situations, although they may have different views relating to taxes and regulation.

Social extreme authoritarians believe that the government should control society, assuring that moral values are enforced and order is well-maintained, even if that means the sacrifice of individual rights.

Similar to my political compass, again.

I like the new questions as well.

Economic score: -1.43
Social score: -2.46

That's probably more accurate than the PC, as I lean left economically at this point rather than right.

[Grad Students are the Worst]

 Economic score: +6.06
Social score: -5.57

Your score pegs you as economically capitalist and socially strongly libertarian.

Capitalists generally support an open free market and lower taxes, but also support government restrictions on blatantly abusive industry. Capitalists also often differ from their more extreme peers in that, while they may support significantly lower taxes, they are less apt to support complete elimination of taxation or near-complete elimination of government.

Strong social libertarians generally believe that the government should not judge morality, and are generally against the illegalization of things that do not directly affect other people in a negative way. Many strong social libertarians may also be social progressives, favouring legislation to correct what they see as socially backwards governmental regulation, although some simply wish for the government to make no judgement on social matters.

AAAAAAAAAH!  I'M BEING CORRUPTED

BTW, I'd suggest the wording for 14 be changed to something like this:

The government should be at least somewhat responsible for what children see on television.

Everyone thinks that parents should regulate what their kids see in television
