Discussion with another Jelly led me to this little test to find out where we stand.
The Political Compass
I am not claiming that this is scientific, just thought it would be fun to find out about our little online community. So, are you left, right or centrist?

OK @rojo I bit…

My comment is the survey was very much tilted towards left leaning perspectives and was loaded with gotcha questions that are there solely to expose a right wing nut. The questions on race and abortion I had a yuge problem with as it was an either or choice that did not afford me a choice that truly reflected my POV on those issues. There were more than a handful of other questions that forced you down a rabbit hole I would otherwise not choose.

To anyone East of Berkeley CA I am considered a flaming ultra-liberal. Here in San Francisco, I am seen as a moderate and anti-progressive.
@Cruiser just for fun. Try not to read so much into it. I felt it too.
@AnonymousAccount8 don’t do anything with it. Just enjoy looking at where the rest of the flutherverse is in comparison.
@zenvelo it would be interesting to add a geographic factor to the results.
Interesting, thus far no one has results on the plus side in either category.

I’m in the green square.
Economic Left/Right: -5.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.82
Also well into the green square.

+0.63,-4.41
Center libertarian big surprise.
I took this test about 15 years ago and I was about the same. It’s pretty flawed, answers are binary and skew everyone to the left.
Since Trump got elected, off the scale. Resolutely though unhappily, I have abandoned all political interest and activity.
I think their pick of the reading lists are more interesting than the score itself.
Really close to the bottom left corner.
Economic Left/Right: -7.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.67
Also “really close to the bottom left corner.”
Economic Left/Right: -8.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.72
I deleted my results without observing in what square I am, but thanks to @cookieman and @ANef_is_Enuf, I know I’m in the bottom-left corner of the green square*.
I’m surprised that I’m left of @ragingloli, particularly because I think it’s okay to profit from land transactions.
*Could that be the reason for the green-square avatar of another progressive jelly?
Hahaha. I’m almost off the chart in the left hand bottom corner.
Economic Left/Right: -8.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.21
I was in the high 7s for both so left hand bottom too. Hardly a surprise.
Well for giggles I tried it. There was not enough questions or options for the questions they did ask in my opinion, but what it rated me as was:
Economic Left/Right: 3.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.36
Economic Left/Right ght – 8.0
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian -5.85
I’m im the southwest (lower left) quadrant of the green square
Ok – all of us lower lefties let’s get together and form a commune!
Wow, seems like most are leftist leaning more to the end of communism (according to the scale), is not that an interesting fact…..
Economic Left/Right: -7.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.03
@Hypocrisy_Central No, that’s not a fact and it’s not interesting.
I’m down for the Commune!
We’ll have a little farm with a cow, some chickens…we’ll live off the fat of the land, and no one will tell us what to do.
Will there be cookies at this commune?

@Strauss I saw “Little Boxes” used in a TV ad the other day.

Thank you @janbb! I’m in.
(I’m not surprised by anything I’m seeing here.)
Here is mine:
Economic Left/Right: -0.5
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.77
Not sure if good or bad.
@SergeantQueen sounds like you’re just a little southwest of dead center!
@Strauss Yeah I am. I’m like (1,1) on a graph.
No one else has numbers that are both 0.XX numbers.
-4.63
-0.21
I too felt there were flaws.
I remember this (or a similar quiz) being asked once. It would be interesting to see what the responses were and how they have changed. I’m going to do mine in a few.

I’m a little to the lower left center in the lower left green square.
Wow. So @SergeantQueen it the closest thing to a centrist we have!
Even @Cruiser who I accused of being a rightist is a closet leftist. I stand corrected!
Thanks to all who participated and I hope the rest of the tide pool will bless us with their ratings as well.
