This can be moved if it's in the wrong forum.... does anybody remember that test that had the X and Y axes and had the four political quadrants on it?

I think I remember that on the old RM and I was wondering if anyone knows where i can find it.

How can you be exact opposite on a compass?

I just want to state that simply by looking at the wording of the questions you can see an inherent bias. The way that the people at this website, http://www.politicalcompass.org, address these inquiries is not even remotely objective. If you take this test then adhere to the views it expresses, you are a tool. That is all. If you are this confused as to your political position, so indecisive that it takes a test to show that you are diametrically opposed to the actions of our President, you are either clueless or ignorant; in most cases both.

Apparently, I moved a little to the left economically, and I'm very slightly libertarian socially.

I actually like the one at http://www.politopia.com better. It actually had me in the middle economically and more socially liberal. I guess both are somewhat there, as I'm kinda leaning more libertarian now...

The second one is clearly framed in American terms. I'm quite unaware of the status quo in US domestic policy, so it's hard to understand what "keep it as it is" means.

Fixed. ;)

However, I love taking these tests just for fun. Still in the southeast on this one, no surprise. It's a damn shame no major world leaders are in that quadrant. :(

I'll report on this new one later.

I think you're being a bit extreme here but perhaps a more neutral answer to some of the questions could improve things.

Took the second one. Just west of Drew Carey. The only question I didn't like was the immigrant one.

One of my dreams is to create a three-dimensional political quiz. That would be fun to take.

I asked, cos it just seemed strange to see his name when you look at the other names sitting there on the map.

Sweet, I'm slightly more liberal and libertarian than the Dalai Lama. Just as I expected.
