Political Compass

Notice the lack of a response. Dude would rather shut out any explanations and argue than actually approach a situation with s new perspective.

So it’s your way or no way? Sounds familiar !

I'm fairly certain that the entire questionnaire is based on the assumption that your hypothetical government is not corrupt. The question's aren't based on what you think the current admin should do, but what you think a correct government would do. If you think a correctly functioning government should penalize companies for misleading the public, you would put YES.

But we don’t have a hypothetical government ! We have an actual government that is corrupt at its core so therefore this questionnaire is null and void !

Then its a good thing the questionnaire isn't about our government in the real world. If you actually took the questionnaire, you'd be able to tell, though maybe not since you already failed to understand it.

Who is this guy to make the questions, analyze the answers, and place people in catagories?

This looks like an info search more than anything else.

Some of the questions could be answered any way.

Why does he assume that factories will pollute if not controlled? How much pollution control is enough of say a coal power plant? When is control ever enough period?

How does he actually know that a coal power plant actually does squat to the atmosphere?

For what its worth Buford, expounding on my post #3, I’ve taken tests like this over the years since the internet, and a few pre-internet --- and they’ve always placed me as a Libertarian, on the Conservative side. Which is correct in my beliefs. Don’t know how it all works, but it plays out correct with me. Again, JMO FWIW.

1. Literally no political ideology test is perfect. There's no point arguing this when the results don't really matter anyways. 2. I'm not even sure what you mean here. You're suppose to give your immediate opinions to each statement. 3. The point of the propositions is to determine if you agree or disagree with them. Of course you can choose any answer, but if you lie on the test, you're either wasting your own time by filling out an optional questionnaire insincerely or extremely inept at reading. 4. The creator of the test is not assuming anything. NONE of these answers are statements of fact. NONE of them. If you don't even agree that coal power plants are causing climate issues, you would choose Strongly Disagree and move on. There is no expectation for you to pick specific answers.

But I'm done humoring you with explanations. Either take the test that literally means nothing and was simply brought up for a change of pace, or don't. There's no point talking about it anymore. Either you're taking the piss, or no amount of explaining will ever satisfy you.

If you would want to take the test yourself you can as well! I've been interested in how those generally on the other side of these arguments fall (Me, Kaz, Kidrock)

You should take your own advice at point #1 cuz it don’t matter !

Why do I care about ANYTHING that is not about the REAL WORLD ? Did not read it so I am not able to tell !

I wasn't going to respond but I will say that... This is literally a forum about motorsports, something that's inconsequential and not really related to the real world.

I took the test and disegreed very much with the results which put me almost dead center in the chart. You were curiuous so I'm givng my results.

To some the real world is all there is. So when there is no longer have anything left including racing, maybe a few lights will go on. hehe

Hope to doesn't happen, but some time down the road, I'm afraid the world will get so wicked that it will have to be destroyed and rebuilt.
