Political leanings of the board

Thought I'd post this compass question: Multinational companies are unethically exploiting the plant genetic resources of developing countries.

What the hell does that even mean?  Is it a typo?  

Anyway, here's where I apparently lie:

Most are center right or center left.

Essentially they weigh 1 thjng against another and end up with this.

The test is too short and too broadly defined in most cases to give a real accurate impact.

I canâ€t do pics either.
100% left, half way down below midline
But then I tried to answer as a leftist and tried to say strongly as much as possible.

I found that as I was trying to be dishonest that I was frequently answering honestly, the “strongly” aside
I wonder if the obvious religious type questions were weighted

Zigâ€s a flaming lib!  I knew it!  

Looks like George is close to me in ideology.  Interesting.

Well, I'm not authoritarian in the least.  I think this is evident in how I run this site.  Speak your mind in a courteous and non abusive way.

Not really. Iâ€m pretty moderate. I have some pretty conservative viewpoints on some issues. I just donâ€t like Mr. Trump. That gains me some disdain as a screaming liberal.

Bullseye, lol. I feel like Cincy.  Or should I say the old Cincy.

I think this only proves that because of how the questions are weighted on a left/right/up/down scale that these graphs don't mean much.

These sorts of questions/point plots  really don't mean much. They're just kind of fun to do if you're bored.

Hilarious that anyone on this board besides Cincy would actually hit the bullseye.

Can't save and post image because I am inept.  So, I am just a tiny bit Authoritarian which makes sense since I am the man and heavy conservative in the Economic realm.

If you are on desktop go to the image and CLICK right from the website you took assessment on.  Select copy image ADDRESS and come back here for posting.   when you open the new post look for the picture box 3 to left of the chain LINK and click the BOX.  Has a small + sign in bottom right in little green circle.  CLICK to open and paste your image address in it and close.  It's simple to do

I just keep right clicking as rapidly as possible, that's always been my go to move

[Sanitarian2]

Definitely Hitler. 

Damn, I'm even more fiscally conservative than you.

Apparently Iâ€m way more “right” than anyone on the board according to this. Interesting. Iâ€m not sure which questions make someone right vs libertarian from a free market/fiscal perspective.

I roughly fell in your ball park.  A little less right though.  

Ironically, the “fake libertarian” was the most libertarian (at least according to oddly questioned survey) of all of us.  Alright Pitch, I take back every... about 10% of what Iâ€ve said about ya

Naaa.  Pitch can't even answer the questions honestly.

[ScarletHayes]

I figured pitch to be in the 3rd quadrant.  Libertarian, but more on the social side.

[stxbuck]

I was where I expected to be, although I do wish there was a neutral/I donâ€t give a ***** option for some of the questions-thatâ€s more libertarian/realistic than having a yes/no preference I

Economically, the far right and libertarian perspective are supposed to be the same. That said, this pov does not take into account the government subsidizing businesses (and thus stock prices/shareholder value) through any number of actions, which free market libertarians are opposed to. Short term shareholder value and long term business sustainability are not always the same thing.
