Where do your political beliefs lie, in comparison to other people? Take the Political Compass test to discover the answer, and share your results.

Here's where I stand:

Economic Left/Right: 2.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.49

That puts me within the same political quadrant as Ayn Rand.

I'm an old leftist, at least it looks like that.

Its fascinating that each time I take this, my score fluctuates just a little bit. Some of the questions are a bit rigged, IMHO, which could be an explanation. And on some, my opinion lies between "agee" and "disagree".

Anyways, this time around I scored:

Economic Left/Right: -1.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.13

Back in February, I scored:

Economic Left/Right: -1.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.33

And in June of '04 I scored:

Economic Right/Left::: 2.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian::: 1.28

Absolutely fascinating.

I apparently have become more libertarian since the last time I took the test: my economic left/right score is 2.75, and my social libertarian/authoritarian score is -3.79.

Those scores place me in what Political Compass calls the libertarian right.

I guess I'm a bit more left than I thought.

But I think it's all bollocks.

Woooo -- Jason, the CATO brainwashing is bearing fruits! You have shifted immensely to the economic right position since last time you took this test!

Here are my results:

Economic Left/Right: -6.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.97

Still about the same as last time.

And again I took the test:

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -3.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.26

I've gone a little more to the right on the economic scale, apparently.

I've also taken the test again. This time, my results were:

Economic Left/Right: 8.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.13

(See graphical representation.)

In both categories, my scores have shifted closer to the bottom right of the graph, representing greater libertarianism.
