Political Compass Quiz - What is my political leaning?

A quiz designed to help students understand their own political views. This quiz has four sections - social, cultural, political and economic. There is a guide to scoring answers at the back of the quiz, and a separate guide to interpreting the scores.

An example of scoring once points for each section are tallied -

Economic Issues: 18 points → Far Left
Social Issues: 14 points → Moderate Libertarian
Political Issues: 10 points → Centrist
Cultural Issues: 7 points → Traditional

All scoring is explained in the second attached document.

*These questions are designed to cover a broad range of topics, providing an initial understanding of different political beliefs and values. The answers can help students to reflect on where they stand on the political spectrum/compass.

To determine an overall political position, you can have students plot their results on a political compass grid (numeracy):

X-Axis (Economic): Left (-) to Right (+)

Y-Axis (Social): Libertarian (-) to Authoritarian (+)

For more nuanced results, you could consider averaging the scores across sections or using a weighted approach if certain issues are more important.

It is important to remind students that political beliefs can be complex.
