This one is slightly better, though a couple of the questions are pretty idiotic ("Tighter regulation would have prevented the collapse of the lending industry" and "Unions were indispensible for the establishment of the middle class" are both factual statements, not political positions)

http://www.gotoquiz.com/politics/political-spectrum-quiz.html

They add a few more degrees of analysis.  Here's my results:
Left: 0.17, Authoritarian: 1.6 (0 is center)
Foreign Policy: -1.89
Culture: 5.38

Political compass is not very good.  Look at how out of whack this is, for instance.  It should also be 3-4 scales, 2 is not enough and doesn't account for nationalism vs globalism or degrees of political freedom.

gripes aside, here's my result

On the Political Compass Test I'm slightly left and south of the Dalai Lama and Gandhi (Economic Left/Right: -5.25 ; Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.15), which puts me squarely in Green territory, though I don't follow any political party or its ideology.



For me:
Economic Left/Right: -5.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.08

Hmmm...I had considered myself more centrist. Well, it's off to the commune, I suppose! LOL

None.

I have in the past swung from being what you might call in the US, a libertarian to almost a complete Marxist. Both the left and right have apsects of ideology I loathe. I hate the rights apparent dismissiveness of anyone who isn't at least a millionaire and their often open racism, and I'm troubled by the lefts tunnel vision worship of political correctness at what ever cost to anything, including the emotional development of children, just so they can stand by what is actually a heavily nuanced and caveated principle.

I tend to think "f**k em all" at the end of the day to be honest..

I am very much a fan of the younger and slimmer Marlon Brando.

Instead of answering the poll I'll post my result too.

Nationalist is listed twice and 'Anarchist' looks like 'Antichrist'.

Since most countries the western world are classified as a Liberal Democracies it could be argued that all the major parities in those countries are essentially liberal. 

So, what's your political ideology, Dean?

My ideology is a workshop in the bottom of a cruise ship where we produce sacks of umlauts.
 
Politically I'm in tune with the likes of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Whatever it is that people call them, I suppose I could be called the same. I also like chocolate cake and grazing in the yard for dog poop.

I believe in democracy, though I think, ideally, most laws would be based on humanitarian principles.
