It's a sad excuse for a political quiz to say the least. The questions were frequently subjective and circumstantial. The compass itself represented only a portion of the wider political paradigm (the quiz's compass essentially goes from centrist to far right wing, when we all know a political compass can go, left, up, and down, too).

As a result I scored "8", which is somewhere in between Hillary and Ted Kennedy...while in reality I really don't represent any of the same views that they hold. It's because the quiz is only in the context of a horrible representation of the left-right paradigm. In these confines true political representation isn't that great.

A *much* better quiz is located at:
The Political Compass

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.72
