The folks at the Political Compass have put together, well, the Political Compass<\/a>. This quiz lets you find yourself both on the economic left-right access, but also on authoritarian-libertarian axis. The idea is that this gets around the issue of “social” conservatives (and liberals) vs “economic” conservatives (and liberals).<\/p>\n

Good stuff.<\/p>\n

For the record, I came out <\/p>\n

  • Economic Left\/Right: -1.13 (slight economic liberal)\n
  • Authoritarian\/Libertarian: -3.13 (distinctly, but not radically, libertarian)<\/p>\n

    I think this is fairly accurate — but I have no idea how well it jibes with anyone else’s perceptions of me.<\/p>\n

    Sure, it’s not as cool as knowing that you’re “Hugo Drax” or “the Mona Lisa” or “Albert Einstein in a Peignoir,” but it’s probably more valuable. So what are you?<\/i><\/p>\n
