tet do you mean you were around center on both axis? or are you saying that you were around -5 on the vertical axis (assuming it goes from 10 to -10)?

It wont let me finish the test until I answer "Controlling inflation is more important than controlling unemployment." Bogus ... both are equally important and need to be balanced in order to maintain a stable economy. Since they do not offer the correct answer as a choice and they wont let me finish the test without selecting one of the incorrect answers, I elect to not finish the test.

ice what you should have done was answer one way, then answer the other way, and compare how it effects the results. remember every question's sole purpose is to effect where it puts you on 2 axis. answering one question incorrectly won't have a huge impact on the result.

the only thing that bugs me about this test is it forces you to take a side on something that you're sitting on the fence about.

But enough of that. here are my scores:

Economic Left/Right: -2.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.49

amazingly close to Dedman's scores. heh!

I didn't like how a lot of the questions were worded, but I got a dead center bullseye on the chart.

Economic Left/Right: 0.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.05

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -0.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.44

Closest to Fusion Pimp's score. Seems I'm just a slightly leaning libertarian/leftist moderate.
