This didn't really come as much of a surprise to me, as I had already known that I was fairly left leaning. But what did surprise me was two things. First: I cognitively recognize that I am authoritarian - I believe the state should have a lot of power for good reasons. Regulation is not necessarily a bad thing. So the fact that this showed I leaned Libertarian did surprise me based upon my answers to the questions.
The second thing that surprised me was the chart showing famous people and their placement on the compass:
Apparently, I'm closely aligned with the political viewpoints of Nelson Mandela or The Dalai Lama.Which is pretty cool considering I'm a big fan of South African accents. And I enjoy goats and mountains. These are pretty much the only prerequisites to being Nelson Mandela or the Dalai Lama, right?
I'm totally doing this. I need to know where I stand.
ReplyDeleteO.k., completely at the edge of liberal.
ReplyDeleteWho the fuck is Angela Merkle?
ReplyDeleteI'm straight out Libertarian, which honestly surprised me. But when I thought about it, I think I know better than everyone and so I wish they'd just leave me alone and let me make my own decisions. So then it kind of does make sense.
I'm with KLZ...only I know who Merkle is. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm Libertarian, which actually freaked my shit out. I didn't realize I was an anarchist. LOL
