I'm curious to see where people identify themselves relative to known political figures. If you wish, save the above picture, edit it and place an X where you think you fall in the graph. Place other X's to give your best idea of where you think political figures fall in.

Where would you place: Trump, Hillary, and Abraham Lincoln? Lincoln is a difficult one for me to pin, as he was conservative in wanting to preserve the Union but liberal in that he didn't want to "conserve" slavery... he was "progressively liberal" by modern standards.

This image should be from a survey where you are asked a bunch of questions and it marks where you are politically.

Trump- Centrist Authoritarian, selectively libertarian

Hillary- Left-Wing Authoritarian

Lincoln- wow, that is a puzzle. I'll bite. Today I'm convinced he would come down as Right of center on the Libertarian side.

Back in the day I would say Centrist Libertarian in theory, but became Authoritarian due to the circumstances.

I don't know, I saw it 5 years ago. Its some university that does it. By the way, the University that runs the study had hitler more pegged in the middle than conservative, Trump wasn't on it, and jfk was on it as conservative.

I have to say I find this to be quite accurate. I would only make a few minor adjustments with Hitler, Bush, and Reagan but not enough to start a forum war.

As for me, I'm located on the conservative line between the "R" and the "V"

I am a moderate I think, I do tend to agree more with the Libertarian party.

I took the survey and I was half way between libertarian and authoritarian. Mostly to the right. It's alot of questions, took a long time. Supposedly that university ask politicians the same survey and has been around 30 years. The people like jfk and hitler they based on what they did while they occupied office.

Good graph KP. I would actually probably just about the same point at the graph as you, but closer to the authoritarian line.

I'm off the chart. I cannot be, and refuse to be labelled based on some arbitrary mark on a four-quadrant chart.

It's just a reference point, not a check list...or a label.

Okay. Someone throw a dart at the chart. Wherever it lands, that's what you can consider me. I don't care. LOL
