Political Compass Chart

[Mechaghostman2]

Where do you fall on this chart? I'm somewhere in the upper center of the libertarian left square. About where Gandhi would be.

Do you have something with a Z axis?

Again?

I took that test numerous times before. Now I had some fun in always voting strongly. That puts me into the libertarian left.

It's a good test if done from an American lens, thus shifting everything to the right a bit. For example, outside of his nationalism and opposition to castes Gandhi was closer to Tory conservatism than any form of left wing party. For example his economic policy had returning India to a mdieval rural society. Another example is the attitude to healthcare, in Europe some form of universal healthcare is well supported by ovterz whether left or right. Last time I took the test it was a standard question over whether you found it good or not.

This test is inaccurate IMO as it phrases several questions in bizarre and sometimes ambiguous ways.

Some questions just don't belong on the political spectrum, or at least could confuse the test results. For example, not all people on the right oppose abortion, and not all people on the left support it. In the traditional sense of left and right, support of "abortion" doesn't fit on either side. Whether you support abortion or oppose it is more of a moral decision than a political decision. It just so happens that the right-wing is more heavily comprised of religious people than the left, and that IMO is why people see that divide.
