Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -3.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.21
eh, that's a bit more extreme then I expected and then what I have received a few years ago on the same website, but they have changed their questions around.

but it does hurt my brain tring to understand how it works/what it means. Although slightly right of the Dalai Lama can't be too bad, but how can they rate the world leaders fairly without making them do the test - most of them have their speaches writen by speach writers and represent parties/organisations so who is being rated?

Next to Gandhi, but somewhat more extreme. "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind" -- right on Mahatma! This matches my selfimage, since I'm what I'd call a Communitarian Socialist. Kind of like an anarchist with a safety net.

I find it interesting that so far, the most "right wing" people are here are 0.00
And while I know that stereotypically we're a "pack of hippies" I still struggle to believe that we're all officially hippies!
therefore i think
1) the quiz is swayed
2) governments don't reflect their people.
Methinks 1) is more likely (although yes, I know politics isn't perfect, but still, *someone* had to vote them in)
can some of the right wingers come and do this quiz to prove my point please!
oh, mine was -4/-4.05

That doesn't seem right - I was answering in the strict est sense of the questions rather than gut feel so fully expected to be closer to middle-ground.
Quite happy with the neighbours tho - Mandela and Dalai Llama Fellow hippies, plenty good tea

So if I think (and click) that astrology's nonsense, does that make me libertarian because I choose to use my brain, or authoritarian because I'm not a hopeless new-ager?
Anyway:
Political -5.63
Social -4.72 (I BET it would be -5 at least if not for the astrology!)

I was left. That's when you know it's skewed. A lot of the questions are written in a way that leads to liberal-esque answers.
I did not see the number but I was in the center corner for the lower left quadrant.

Its an interesting response to one of the obvious shortcomings of reducing politics to left and right... However its still a massively reductionist model... For example where do environmental concerns fit in - Hitler and the Nazis for example were really good for the environment...
Equally their understanding of political theories appear tenuous at best...
remember kids - in Marx's formulation communism (as opposed to socialism) saw the withering away of the state, as repressive apparatus was not needed to control the liberated and de-alienated proletariat. if there is no state there cant be an entirely state planned economy...
Also... How does Nelson Mandela come out as way to the left... Before the ANC were handed power they had signed agreements with the IMF and World Bank which essentially guarenteed that post-apartheid South Africa would be a neo-liberal, capitalist state (ie the axis which Mandela is nowhere near)... The result has been that there still exists a massively rich minority (which now includes some Black often ANC associated South Africans) and a huge number of people still living in dire poverty around them...
Anyways... Enough ranting...

Description
You recognize the inefficiency of having the government run the economy. You also seem to think that the government can do some good in improving people's personal habits in some areas. You fit in the Reagan-Goldwater wing of the Republican party. So, you probably approve of half or so of the Republicans in office, while at other times you might prefer the Constitution Party candidate, or even the Libertarian candidate.
Approximately 4% of the takers of this quiz scored in this area, 8% for all conservatives outside the centrist circle.
