It's not the best designed tool. For instance:

"It's natural for children to keep some secrets from their parents."

Are they asking me if it's right or if I'm aware? That I accept the act or I don't accept the reality?

Anyhoo ....

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -5.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.23

Danger Will Robinson. But didn't look as deep as Mandela or the Dali Llama.

Wow! I was expecting you to be pegged at -5 for both! Perhaps there is hope for you!

Always hope ... for everyone. You included. Gimme a Christmas hug.

(You don't really think I should be more "authoritarian" and less "libertarian" do you?)

There's no question I'm libertarian, judging by my score.

Economic Left/Right: 4.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.13

The World's Smallest Political Quiz

this one's better, IMO. Questions are worded too vaguely in the compass one. Plus, mine's shorter.

Holy CRAP! That's the first time I've seen anyone on many discussion boards get an 8 on the economic left/right!

Let me guess, you don't drive a foreign made car do you?

Actually, he's probably all for making U.S. wealth globally mobile. Sell jobs for profit. Replace them two McJobs for one so the unemployment rate makes everything look rosy.
