political compass

Have you ever taken a look at politicalcompass.org? It’s kinda neat; based on your answers to various questions, it tells you where you are, politically. Here’s my numbers; imagine it as a cartesian graph: Economic Left/Right: -4.50 (X-axis: Left = -, Right = +) Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.82 (Y-Axis: Libertarian = -, Authoritarian = +)

So basically (according to that site), I’m a left libertarian. I’m closer to politically neutral (center) than my good friend Paul. According to the sample graphs, others with similar political viewpoints include the Dalai Lama, Gandhi, and Nelson Mandela.

Funny, I never thought of myself in that way.
