- 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 (LEF) value freedom of
- expression. Conservatives (CON) value free enterprise. Libertarians
- (LIB) value both. Authoritarians (AUT) are against both.
