The Political Compass

Don't worry too much about it! I'll start, I got exactly even on the left/right and down .10, so almost as centrist as you can get. Anyone else?
how can i even bother with a test, when the first question out of the box is so poorly crafted, that it is unanswerable?

If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations.

Is this that silly, bogus "test" that tries to pretend you can be conservative and try to control people's religious preferences at the same time? Or that you can be left-wing and libertarian at the same time?

Garbage in, garbage out.

This "test" has been around for many years. Every few month, some newcomer trips over it, and thinks he's discoverd something new and wonderful, and publicizes it far and wide. It get routinely debunked, for the 3,494th time, and fades back into obscurity along with such fallacies as the Flat Earth, government charity, and inexpensive solar power.

Until the next naive newbie stumbles over it again.
