Political Matrix

Lets see where you stand on the issues. Copy and Paste your results here.


My results:

Economic score: -0.52
Social score: +3.65

Your score pegs you as economically centrist and socially moderately authoritarian.

Economic centrists generally support economic policy that they see as fit for specific situations, although they may have different views relating to taxes and regulation.

Moderate social authoritarians typically support social controls meant to encourage moral behaviour and an organised society, although they may have some moderate or libertarian positions.

[The Anti-Neo Con]

1. Fun test...my results.

Economic score: -6.13
Social score: -1.65

Your score pegs you as economically leftist and socially centre-libertarian.

Economic leftists mostly support strict economic controls and programs to assure that the poor are elevated to a higher position in society.

Social centre-libertarians generally have moderate social views, with a slight lean toward avoiding government intervention. However, they support government intervention in matters that they see as threats to society.

2. I'd like an n dimensional 1 of those

With a better dimensioning of corporatism, you'd think those political scientists
would have separated this further to like 10 dimensions of approach, and figure a way to
test and inspect a population more deeply given computing's beneficial contribution to
supporting complex data sets.

'the matrix' idea inspires, but its just the same.

Economic score: -4.52
Social score: -4.00

Your score pegs you as economically moderately leftist and socially moderately libertarian.

Moderate economic leftists generally support regulation of free trade and business to assure that workers are fairly treated and prices remain stable.

Moderate social libertarians generally favour a hands-off approach to social legislation. They may believe that the government has no right to enforce morals, but may support certain controls on individual rights to avoid crime, drug use, or similar social ills.

3. I wonder how many want both less outsourcing & more aide to poor nations?

Outsourcing can be viewed as a form of aide to poor nations that provides the most bang for the buck. But I bet there are many here who are adamantly oppose the former, as much as they favor more expensive forms of the latter. Go figure.

As with the political compass, I was on the south pole, near the y-axis, but near the bottom of the graph: an economic moderate, but in strong favor of personal and civil liberty.

:hippie:

[Quequeg]

38. I am anti-outsourcing and pro-foreign-aid

It makes sense, because outsourcing hurts the working class and benefits the rich, whereas foreign aid can be generated through a progressive tax that affects the wealthy the most. A side benefit is that foreign aid primarily funded by the wealthy can help to reduce the "concentration of wealth" in this country.

Also, our country only gives 0.15% of GDP in foreign aid, whereas the Scandinavian countries give 1.00% and France gives 0.70%. Our country is stingy on foreign aid.

41. What you propose maintains the status quo. Foreign aide without trade...

Has a lousy track record. The question is: Do you want to see improvement in the economies of the nations you aid? Or do you want them to remain forever impoverished, helping them a bit along the way to assuage your conscience?

5. Interesting quiz...

Economic score: -7.74
Social score: -7.13

Your score pegs you as economically socialist and socially far-leftist.

Socialists typically support heavily regulated industry and programs to aid the poor and impoverished. They often also support significant raises in taxes and minimum wage to attempt to decrease the gap between the wealthy and poor.

Social far-leftists generally go beyond simply being against government invention in social matters, and instead believe the government should actively make reperations for its past evils toward blacks and other minority groups. Those who score in this category tend to have a strong distrust of government, especially when it comes to its treatment of what they see as disadvantaged groups.

Many strong social libertarians may also be social progressives, favouring legislation to correct what they see as socially backwards governmental regulation, although some simply wish for the government to make no judgement on social matters.
