According to my political compass, I am about as dead in the middle as you can get. I am right in the middle of everything, not socially or economically more liberal or conservative. To be honest, I was a little surprised that I didn’t have more conservative results. I would definitely say that I’m more conservative politically, especially for my age group, but I guess I just didn’t expect to be in the dead center. In comparison to a few of my classmates, my results are still the more conservative results I expected. I don’t think these results were completely accurate, as some of the questions were very unclear, or I didn’t have an idea about the topic in general. There were lots that I hadn’t stopped to think about, so the response was my gut instinct, that oftentimes I didn’t have time to think through all the repercussions that would follow my answer. Because there was no neutral or I don’t know option, some of the ones I just had to guess on probably left a small margin of error in my results. I do think this is a good indicator that I’m not super left or right winged, however I think my results could have been more accurate, and if that were the case I think I would have been slightly more to the right. Economic issues aren’t on the forefront of my mind and I don’t know a ton about the economy except what I catch on the news or hearing my parents discuss. As for social standings, I think it’s a hard place to be in. I am a Christian and I will always vote for what I believe is right according to the Bible, however, there is a separation of church and state that make it difficult for some people to keep their political ideas in line with their beliefs. Ultimately, I would say I’m a more moderate conservative when it comes to political issues.
