How to use the Self-Government Compass
Mark your PERSONAL score on the left and your ECONOMIC score on the
right. Then, follow the grid lines (rows of dots) until they meet at
your political identity! An example for someone who scored 20 on
Personal and 30 on Economic is indicated with an asterisk (*).
The compass measures self-government. Liberals value freedom of
expression. Conservatives value free enterprise. Libertarians
value both. Authoritarians are against both.

Political Philosophies
* Libertarians are self-governors in both personal and economic
matters. They believe government's only purpose is to protect
people from coercion and violence. They value individual
responsibility, and tolerate economic and social diversity.
* Left-liberals prefer self-government in personal matters and
central decision-making on economics. They want government to
serve the disadvantaged in the name of fairness. Leftists tolerate
social diversity, but work for economic equality.
* Centrists favor selective government intervention and emphasize
practical solutions to current problems. They tend to keep an open
mind on new issues. Many centrists feel that government serves as
a check on excessive liberty.
* Right-conservatives prefer self-government on economic issues, but
want official standards in personal matters. They want the
government to defend the community from threats to its moral
fiber.
* Authoritarians want government to advance society and individuals
through expert central planning. They often doubt whether
self-government is practical. Left-authoritarians are also called
socialists, while fascists are right-authoritarians.
