I'm idly curious where on the graph politicalcompass.org would put you [politicalcompass.org], Buzzard.
I'm sure the test isn't perfect but it seems to do a good job of scattering people across the axes according to their political views. I don't disagree with where it aligned me.

I'll give it a go for the lulz but I can tell from the first few questions that it's a colossally shitty test. Most of the questions require presuppositions that are themselves wrong. Take "Controlling inflation is more important than controlling unemployment.", for instance. That's like asking if oxygen or water are more important to your health. It's not an either/or and there's not a scale of agreement, both are completely, factually crucial but there's no option for that and they lump the folks who understand that in with the folks who have rabid beliefs that unemployment control is more important by how they ask the question.

He may not agree with the result. I myself end up close to the bottom left.
