Because I'm a little board today I plotted the positions of those who posted their political compass results:
The Political Compass Revisited
- Thread starter fluff
- Start date
For comparison here is the international version from the political compass website: (Note the scale is different, this is up to 10 in each axis, the one above was to 8 for reasons of apathy):

Good test. It nailed me exactly. Right down the middle on my economic policy and very much a social Libertarian.

if he can find the time, I'd suggest using a "temperature" system on the 2-D plot.Originally posted by Toshi
fluff, can you find the correlation between age (beyond age 18) and the two measured axes here?if you're really bored, that is...
as a data point, i am 4 years beyond age 18...
I could (when I get another bored moment and feel like taking the fight to MS Excel again). I'd need to know everyone's ages though.Originally posted by Toshi

Oddly enough I remember hearing a long time ago that people generally become more right-wing as they get older. I seem to be heading the other way. (I am a lot further left at 38 than I was at 25.)
Looks like me, you, and the Kegmaster are about the same, according to this fool proof, tell all chart.
BTW Fluff, nice job on the Monkey chart. Very interesting. Where N8's dot?
Well my scale only went up to 8...Originally posted by I Are Baboon

I don't think N8 ever posted his numbers, I'm guessing he's somewhere out in the +7's?
Whaddya say N8?

hmm, i think it kinda depends where you start. i think is the older the more center-wing you get.

maybe one as a function of IQ, to test stuart mill's idea.
Interersting test.... here is me:
Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives.
Actually not.

i think John stuart mill was right.
this was discussed among the faculty of Duke University. Why aren't many republican professors? was a complain from some republican students.
the philosophy chair mentioned stupidity is not a common thing in academia. and then quoted JSM as a response.
if most conservative are stupid, and professors are usually smart. both groups should not overlap that much. makes sense.
2nd. the most republican states, are usually the ones with the lowest education levels and the lowest SAT scores.
not a causality thing, but an interesting coincidence nonetheless.
but i think JSM idea does not work very good in both extremes of the liberal and conservative ends. (the 5% end of each i would guess).
Milton Friedman being an extremely smart economic conservative, and Ernesto Guevara being and extremely stupid liberal are some point way out of the league.
take that for what its worth.
who are the ones with the most money?

hmm, california, ny, MA..... does that mean the liberals???
am not very familiar with the US sociodemographic profile of voters, but seems to me, as far as i can tell, against what i listen around here in the south.
In 2000, the voters in 17 out of 25 of the nation's most affluent counties -- all with high percentages of people with advanced degrees -- cast majorities for Al Gore, sometimes by more than 70 percent.
In nine out of the 10 poorest counties in Kentucky, for example, places where the Democratic Party of Harry S. Truman ran roughshod over Republican adversaries, George W. Bush won, frequently by margins the mirror image of Gore's in the nation's richest and best educated counties.
seems its against common sense, and against what u'd expect, poors voting for those who favor the poor, and rich voting for those who favor the rich.
think voting republican has little to do with economics, and more to do with cultural affairs.

did you come up with that all by yourself?
yeah, its obvious for your because u grew up here, but i realized that after 1 semester living in DA SOUTH!!
Me thinks it is easier to be conservative... takes less thought. Seems to me a lot of conservatives are followers... have a problem forming their own opinions and standing up for them, conservatives are also usually more afraid of change, takes a lot of effort and though to change.
That, or Dem's have short attention spans and are easily persuaded....
Dumb can be found on both sides....just your side seems smart 'cause they agree with your dumb ideas
Bubba smash rocks...
Biff smash rocks too...
Biff is smart like Bubba.
lol! I made a funny.
If even only funny to me.
Sorry I didn't open this soon.
"grumble grumble..." LMAO
so, if i were to cave to the overwhelming liberal positions on this forum, i'm ceasing my efforts to resist - i start following you - i take opinions doled out to me - and i've thusly changed. This conversion makes me....let's see...conservative? wtf?
how brave of you to make such a brazen claim here in this last bastion of liberal minions.
feh!
Did those people ever take the test?
