The Political Compass

Shane · **Posted:** May 29th, 2009, 4:27 am

The political compass is a little test that asks you some questions then outputs a nice graph of where your political viewpoints stand. Knowing your viewpoints is important before you take the first crucial steps to democracy. Most of you are still under the age of 18 allowing you to vote. Knowing your beliefs and what you stand for makes you all the more effective. It will help you when it's time to vote.

So with that said if you haven't in the past, take a few minutes and reflect on your political beliefs. Finally no matter what the survey says, if it says to vote for someone in the specific area you are in and you don't like them, don't vote for them.

This is just an interesting website to see where you stand.

Here's mine:

You can find the test here: http://www.politicalcompass.org/ Read the intro on the front page and then take the test. Be sure to not navigate anywhere else on the website before taking the test

Not that far off Brad actually.

... although I'm still very much a fencesitter on a lot of topics so there were many snap decisions made on the first few pages. 8-[

Ryan, Brad, ChrisT and Cheif are all similar, making them all political robots.

Meh. Now I can show it to my friends and see what they get. I wonder if the new Wi Fi in my school will reach my English class...

Interesting. A lot of Agreess and Disagrees from me, so I'm not too surprised that I'm smack dab in the middle of everything.
