My Political Orientation

www.politicalcompass.org/ is a fun website that helps you place yourself on a political spectrum in which the x-axis represents your position on economic policies and the y-axis represents your position on social policies.Just in case you're curious to see how a handful of other past and present world leaders would fare on this grid based on their words and actions, you can check out these two graphs:Based on the answers I provided to a lengthy questionnaire, my political compass lies somewhere around Economic Left: (-6.25) and Social Libertarian: (-5.28) If you compare my position to the world leaders chart, I'd get along well with Mandela, Ghandi, and the Dalai Lama! :)Where do you fit on this graph? Go to www.politicalcompass.org/ and find out! After you've finished the questionnaire, there's a summary page with your results and an explanation of terms used in their graph.

Share your results here! Just copy and paste your graph coordinates found halfway down the page. For example, I'd copy and paste: Economic Left/Right: -6.25 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.28
