I am a little dubious about these online '
political compass' tests as I think most people adjust their answers to ensure the outcome fits how they wish to be perceived. This one, however, seems better than some (and regardless of their accuracy, they are quite good fun to complete).

Here is my report:
Overall, fairly accurate, though many who know me might question the 50% tenderness and the fact that I only have "several" strong opinions. I must try harder.
Hat-tip to Edward Cain for the link.
As a LD Cllr, mine sounds about right, although I'm not an animal rights activist :-)
ReplyDeleteRadicalism 91.25
Socialism 62.5
Tenderness 68.75
These scores indicate that you are a tender-minded progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with an animal rights activist. It appears that you are moderate towards religion, and have a balanced attitude towards humanity in general.
Your attitudes towards economics appear socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a political centrist.
To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a devoted egalitarian with several strong opinions.
This concludes our analysis; we hope you found your results accurate, useful, and interesting.
