An alternate Political Compass

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I had a lot of problems with the test until I clicked the "show hints" button. Basically you should completely ignore the original option and go by the blue text. For example:

You should get the health care you are ready to pay for.
Basic health care should be provided to all, but extra health care should be available to you if you want it.

Although my before and after didn't change that much, I had a lot less "none of the above" answers.

That was extremely helpful -- thanks! The questions in blue are far more interesting that the ones on the main test. My results were slightly more accurate this time, although I shudder at being called a Republican.

Your scored 1 on Moral Order and -2 on Moral Rules.

System: Conservatism (no)
Ideology: Capital Republicanism (no)
Party: Republican Party (no)
Presidents: Gerald Ford (better, but still no)
04' Election: John Kerry (yes)
08' Election: John McCain (no)

Surprisingly centrist. I have no particularily strong feelings towards authoritarianism, but I thought I'd be more socialist.

[Tellos Athenaios]

It's surprising to see how this moral compass positions me as an Authoritarian + Left; whereas the political one considers me Libertarian + Left: quite close to the Dalai Lama in fact.

Although my opinion on the moral compass is that it is far too small a sample of political views, and the questions themselves are somewhat ‘meh’ or seem leg-ups to other political issues (e.g. people should be allowed to defend themselves sound suspiciously much like people should be allowed to bear arms). There should be plenty of questions and the questions should expose various kinds of bias (somebody consistently dis-agreeing with certain ‘authoritarian’ statements is not decidedly anarchist per se).

Edited:

Your scored -3.5 on Moral Order and 1.5 on Moral Rules.
