Economic Left/Right: +2.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: +0.69

But I do have to say that alot of the questions are loaded, obviously trying to generate answers to make the individual seem liberal. I adjusted to accomodate for that. There are no maybe answers in the quizzes, and they don't provide enough information in the question in order to answer it adequately.

I mean come on...."Are some people naturally unlucky?" No, but many make bad choices and negative consequences occur, which they should take responsibility for. i.e. making babies you can't afford. Unlucky? Or careless/foolish?

Looking at the results page, it appears that the test ranks Margaret Thatcher 75% as fascist as Hitler or Stalin. This makes me severely doubt its accuracy.

Scions Political Compass

Economic Left/Right: -2.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.67


Also, it didn't say anywhere that Thatcher was 75% as facist as Stalin or Hitler... Only 75% authoritarian... BIG difference there...

No significant difference, because authoritarianism is the central, defining component of fascism. It's a matter of semantics, and in any case the claim that Thatcher was 75% as authoritarian as Hitler is just as ridiculous.

Enjoy, Xabba. :)

Be advised, in the analysis section, Pope Benedict XVI and Robert Mugabe fall in the same area. :doh: Somethin' tells me that just ain't right. :shifty:

I suggest you read the documentation on the site.

There are a lot of people here who lean to the left, both socially and economically. :hmm:

...but further right still would be someone like that ultimate free marketeer, General Pinochet.
The Chilean population couldn't decide or opine about the economical decisions, he was not the ultimate free marketeer, he was the ultimate marketeer, minus the free, because it was an economy imposed without criticism. The ultimate free-marketeer cannot rank high on the Authoritarian scale because he gains control of the macro-economical policy, in the same article Pinochet is said to be put "in a hardcore authoritarian position", a better Chilean ultimate free-marketeer example would be any of the successive governments, like Michelle Bachelet.

In our home page we demolished the myth that authoritarianism is necessarily "right wing", with the examples of Robert Mugabe, Pol Pot and Stalin
Because before visiting this home-page people usually think otherwise? That Stalin was a live and let live libertarian?
