More political test sites
There are two new political test websites, evidently modelled on the successful Political Compass Test.
Gabriel Rosenberg’s Political Compass is a diamond rather than a square, but like the original site, it contrasts left/right with libertarian/authoritarian.
Chris Lightfoot’s Political Survey 2005 shows the individual relative to the British electorate as a whole. There are two axes stretching from rehabilitation/internationalist on the left to hanging/flogging Eurosceptic on the right, from freemarket/pro-war at the top to socialist/anti-war at the bottom.
My results were different for each test. The original Political compass had me down as a libertarian/leftist aligned with Gandhi, Mandela, the Dalai Lama and the Greens. Rozenberg thought I was a centrist. Lightfoot’s test evaluated me on one axis as ‘very internationalist and rehabilitationist’ ( with 93 per cent of Britons to my right and only 1 per cent to my left!), but on the other axis only ‘slightly socialist and anti-war’.
