Mines like Steins but slight more left and a good bit more libertarian.
I feel like the phrasing of the questions leads one generally to that lower left quadrant.

I have a feeling it was written by someone with differing views from mine.
I consider myself more libertarian than it indicated

Modern leftist liberals are definitely on the Authoritarian side of things.
In the present-day United States, that assertion is simply untrue. The overwhelming common denominator of what contemporary left wing liberals are rejecting and resisting is authoritarianism. And, not coincidentally, there's a mountain of research that shows the best predictor of Trump support is having been raised in an authoritarian home environment.
So, no.
Pretty sure you’re making a mountain out of a mole hill of research.

Re: Political Compass Test - see where you stand
This is pretty accurate. I would have been farther leftward a few years ago but I’ve centered off quite a bit.

I'm not a political junky at all but to me I didn't think it was very accurate? I'm more a right than left

Some of the questions I didn’t have an opinion on, so it is at least a little off for me.

Re: Political Compass Test - see where you stand
It's interesting that it came out so off center with only a couple questions being answered as strongly agreed/disagreed, but it's not far off from what I expected, generally speaking. Some of the questions could really have used a 'don't agree or disagree' option.

ralph nader, is that you?
Funny that you said that because, Ralph Nader is someone that I admire.
I'm big on consumer protection through corporate regulations that protect the environment, our health and our hard earned money.
I agree and a while back the yin to his yang, Ron Paul, were teaming up. I found it interesting as they are 2 sides of the same coin. I like both of them.

We should find a better test. Some of those questions were very leading and read like it was written by a moron.

Agree ... I was just thinking it was me being the dumbass I am but I had to do a little google searching on a few of the questions.
