Interesting websites to see where you are on the political compass, not sure how accurate but interesting.

That's funny because I took mine too, and I am more Libertarian now, and have some liberal overtones. Before I was mostly liberal.

Although I do not tend to be politically oriented or motivated (no party affiliation or preference) and am strongly individualistic and thus in favor of individual freedom and personal responsibility, on that test I am deemed to be:

Slightly left of cultural center – 1.74
Strongly non-interventionist in foreign affairs – 8.51
Strongly non-authoritarian ("libertarian") – 5.49

What is your economic score?

What is your economic score?

Hmmm . . . I did not notice an economic score on the test.

In real life I tend to favor meritocracy and oppose corporatocracy / monopoly / favoritism -- and support some limitations on business (particularly regards monopoly and favoritism) and on transnational corporations.

It seems to me as though the US government is beholden unto moneyed interests (and probably always has been).

In personal life, I "score" reasonably well economically (live frugally and close to nature because I choose to, not because I have to).

The economic score is the main left/right axis that is shown on the same grid as the libertarian/authoritarian score.

Interesting. I just retook the test and it appears I have slipped slightly farther along the liberal libertarian route.

Judging from your recent posts I would guess that you have done a major shift from well to the left of me to well to the right of me while I have stayed near the center.
