Answer 2

This pits me on the graph at -4, -2 (as in x, y): a cross between a little bit communist and much more libertarian than authoritarian, although the results read as follows:

Economic Left/Right: -1.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.15

Why, you ask? The questions had four possible responses, and there should have been at least five for this to be a credible gauge of political attitudes. There was no way to choose, "No opinion," "Neither Agree Nor Disagree" or anything of the like, so if I had no opinion, or felt ambivalent, or didn't understand the wording of the question, there was no way for me to express that. This doesn't give a valid picture of anyone's "Political Compass," let alone mine.

A good (Likert Scale) questionairre will have at least five options for people to choose from for each question, but many have even more choices, to see how strongly one agrees or disagrees with any given statement. It will also have options for you to have no opinion, be ambivalent or not know.

Answer 3

Economic Left/Right: 6.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.67

Answer 4

Economic Left/Right: -1.25

I'm libertarian, with the slight exception of my belief in the necessity of regulation of corporations and their actions. That, and I question authority, PERIOD.
