That first picture is weird. They put Rand farther into the corner than Mises? Hayek too? |

The way this game works, there are multiple ways to do it and you can choose your own level of involvement. The laziest thing to do is select one of the limited answers from above. |

The worst thing that can happen to a good cause is, not to be skillfully attacked, but to be ineptly defended. - Frédéric Bastiat
I try to deny myself any illusions or delusions, and I think that this perhaps entitles me to try and deny the same to others, at least as long as they refuse to keep their fantasies to themselves. - Christopher Hitchens

tests say Im a libertarian with a slight lean to the left. basically a central libertarian lol |

Only those who attempt the absurd can achieve the impossible.
I used the general term Anarchist for central libertarians because I'm not really sure what other position you could hold from that standpoint other than complete belief in self organization and true Darwinian economics without favor for or against any particular methods or ideologies such as private property and cooperative ownership. Sorry if you feel mislabeled. Feel free to explain your economic position more thoroughly. |

That political compass confuses me. The one I did plotted economic values (collectivist versus individualist) against social values (restrictive and authoritarian with respect to morality versus progressive and liberal). |

All the people in the Left-Libertarian/Anarcho-Communist quadrant would disagree with you. |

I don't really know what ideals constitute "right" but if I had to guess it would be where ever Thomas Paine's at. |

I saw another chart showing Thomas Paine along the "Activist" area of the labeled chart in the OP but I didn't post it because I didn't want to overwhelm anyone with charts. |

I think scales like these are silly, issues should be dealt with individually and not grouped as one answer. |
|
How so? |
|

I'm just not convinced that these groupings are accurate to the complexity of the issues. Their danger of acting as prisons of independent thought seem to outweigh their benefit. |
|
Couldn't you say the same thing about colors? Categorization enables the mind to build a map, the goal is not perfect accuracy but simply greater accuracy as far as conceptualizing the components |

I don't see the analogue but I don't see why there should be one. All it's doing is adding an unnecessary, bulky, and overly simplistic filter to direct reality. |

Firstly you can't call it both bulky and overly simplistic at the same time. |
|

Do you see how there are no actual issues here though? Issues should come first, you can be placed in scales for fun afterword. |

Right where expected. |
|
It's like any other personality test. There are certain types of methods people use to process data, and these methods have been mapped out on scales extrovert-introvert, intuitive-sensory, feeling-thinking and perceiving-judging. This doesn't mean because I'm an INFP that I'm locked into some arbitrary classification, it means that compared to someone who's closer to INTP, I utilize a more emotional process for decision making. |

It's only hypocrisy if you lock yourself into these simplistic categories, otherwise it's just called your independent view of balance. |
|
Double standards of what though? What's so meaningful about the scale of authoritarian vs libertarian when deciding on specific issues? Some issues should be dealt with by the government, some shouldn't. You should decide which ones are which from scratch with you're own reason for each issue, deciding by virtue of this scale is ignorant in my view. |
