There's
abundant evidence for the need of it. The old one-dimensional categories of
'right' and 'left', established for the seating arrangement of the French
National Assembly of 1789, are overly simplistic for today's complex political
landscape. For example, who are the 'conservatives' in today's Russia? Are they
the unreconstructed Stalinists, or the reformers who have adopted the right-wing
views of conservatives like Margaret Thatcher?
On the standard left-right scale, how do
you distinguish leftists like Stalin and Gandhi? It's not sufficient to say
that Stalin was simply more left than Gandhi. There are fundamental political
differences between them that the old categories on their own can't explain.
Similarly, we generally describe social reactionaries as 'right-wingers', yet
that leaves left-wing reactionaries like Robert Mugabe and Pol Pot off the
hook.
That's about as much as we should tell you
for now. After you've responded to the following propositions during the next
3-5 minutes, all will be explained. In each instance, you're asked to choose
the response that best describes your feeling: Strongly Disagree, Disagree,
Agree or Strongly Agree. At the end of the test, you'll be given the compass,
with your own special position on it.
The test
presented on this website is entirely anonymous. None of your personal details
are required, and nothing about your result is recorded or logged in any way.
The answers are only used to calculate your reading, and cannot be accessed by
anyone, ever.
Our sister application on Facebook does
log scores, but the information is used only for social networking purposes,
and is visible only within the user's personal network. We do not give anyone's
score to outside organisations. If you don't want your score logged, don't use
the Facebook app.
The idea was developed by a political
journalist with a university counselling background, assisted by a professor of
social history. They're indebted to people like Wilhelm Reich and Theodor
Adorno for their ground-breaking work in this field. We believe that, in an age
of diminishing ideology, a new generation in particular will get a better idea
of where they stand politically - and the sort of political company they keep.
So are you ready to take the test? Remember that there's no right, wrong or ideal
response. It's simply a measure of attitudes and inevitable human
contradictions to provide a more integrated definition of where people and
parties are really at. Click here to start.
