From the test:
"There is now a worrying fusion of information and entertainment."

What does this mean?

Such a question is difficult to answer.
I think if I qualify myself I will be howled by many forum members I debated with in the past (before I had to bite my tongue as a moderator).
:D
If I'm anything, I'm too opinionated... and as you know, anything that starts with "too" is wrong (apart for toothbrush)!

Konovalov's political compass
Economic Left/Right: -4.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.97

The funny thing is that I have voted for John Howard (Australian Prime Minister) and the Liberal Party (conservatives) all my life. Just look where John Howard features on the graph. Boy, am I one confused soul. ;) :lol:

Ok, thanks. I assume it's more related to the TV than press.

Economic Left/Right: -1.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.72

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.92

Funny, I'm in the exact same area as Gandhi and Mandela. :hmm:

bradclark1 02-06-06 11:57 PM

Economic Left/Right: -3.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.92

So what does this mean?

Sea Demon 02-07-06 01:04 AM

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?

Economic Left/Right: 3.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.05

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.

Scion 02-07-06 04:09 AM

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.

Rotary Crewman 02-07-06 04:55 AM

Economic Left/Right: -3.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.59

I'm getting closer to those communist ways according to the graph!
