PoLiTiCaL cOmPaSs

Following our dicussion is class about what exactly the political compass is, I decided to try it our for myself. My results are kinda surprising, I thought I was more moderate than liberal, but I had no clue exactly how right, left, up or down I really was.
My results:

Heres the skeleton of the compass and what it means to be to the left, right, up, etc and also some famous people and where they stand: http://www.politicalcompass.org/images/axeswithnames.gif

Finally, here are people today, presidents popes, or leaders and where they stand on the spectrum: http://www.politicalcompass.org/images/internationalchart.gif

If you want to take the test yourself go to http://www.politicalcompass.org

I recommend doing it. You might find out more about yourself than you previously knew. Also, a great idea to incoorperate this user map in school would have the class discuss each of the questions. Not nessessarily take the test but pick out two or three and see how people react.

Hey Sami,

We can't see your results! :(

I can show you how to embed these images in a better way if you come to see me in my office.

Once thing you might try is to first download the images to your computer, then click on the "picture" image in your Blogger post, and upload them that way.
