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.
