Political Compass

Hey I saw this link on digg and I tried it, apparently I am a left wing libertarian and fall on the graph right where Ghandhi is. I am a big star trek fan, so I think that many of my values and beliefs are in line with what I imagine the federation hold. Check out the six page survey and see what you are.

I mean who wouldnt be. those questions were manipulative and oversimplified.

honestly who is going to say "yes!" to something like "massive corporations should only act in the interest of themselves"?

and then they throw saintly world figures like Mandela and the Dalai Lama in the area where they have engineered everyone to come out, so that we all feel great. And populate the rest of the chart with Stalin! and Hitler! I kept waiting for the sales pitch to come at the end of the page.

I broke it. I held too many opposite extreme beliefs and it labeled me a moderate. So it to be accurate it would have to have a z-axis labeled 'insanity' that would measure the degree of variance between your answers.

Conservatives.

I don't think the question has any particular connotation, but you obviously believe that corporations do have an obligation to society beyond just generating profit; not everyone feels that way. Economic conservatives generally believe that there shouldn't be any (or at least, very few) additional laws or regulations for corporations, and that the market will determine a company's behavior. If a company's product causes cancer, then people will show their disapproval by not buying the product, and as a result the company will change its behavior due to market demands... or at least, that's the idea.

Definitely more than a few questions I wish had a 'middleground' option. Funny, though, as more than a few questions I totally expected to see, and already knew my answer to, would usually oppose other somewhat similar questions.
