    Your daily reminder that the political compass is libertarian horseshit.

        The original one is known for skewing towards libleft. It also has stupid questions like what you think about astrology. I just took one called 10groups which has more spectrums and nuance, 8values is also pretty good for this, what do you guys think about these? https://10groups.github.io/ https://8values.github.io/ *10 groups is based on sapply and 8values

          i think left values is by far the most interesting one to take https://leftvalues.github.io/

              i think for a general one politiscale is kinda interesting too, better than 8 values imo https://www.politiscales.net/

                Yeah that might be the best one I've done. I like that it touches on topics like gender, nuclear energy, monarchy whereas most tests don't. There were a few weird questions like ~"differences between men and women can partially be attributed to hormones" where I think it would be hard to disagree.

                Pretty mild stances compared to most people here I think but I like to think I'm not a lib lol, they came out pretty consistent with one another. https://leftvalues.github.io/results.html?a=52.9&b=58.8&c=40.0&d=71.4&e=55.8&f=29.2&g=29.4 https://www.politiscales.net/en_US/results/?j1=14&j0=64&s0=79&s1=5&b1=10&b0=69&c0=50&c1=29&p1=5&p0=76&femi=38&t0=45&t1=29&e1=29&e0=48&m1=5&m0=81&prag=67&anar=67
