Actually pretty surprised that I'm this far left because I answered many of them that lean conservative.  Interesting.

Might as well be a "what kind of pizza are you" quiz in that regards, when this thing came out people thought it was the end all be all because it went further than just left and right by adding two more properties, but it's not well thought out at all, and it's really not that deep.

It’s not supposed to be all that deep. Their stated goal is to show that things aren’t as simple as left vs right. I think it’s working as intended considering how many people in this topic noted the discrepancy between their voting habits on the left/right spectrum and their placement on  the compass.

 

From the site:

Our essential point is that Left and Right, although far from obsolete, are essentially a measure of economics. As political establishments adopt either enthusiastically or reluctantly the prevailing economic orthodoxy — the neo-liberal strain of capitalism — the Left-Right division between mainstream parties becomes increasingly blurred. Instead, party differences tend to be more about identity issues. In the narrowing debate, our social scale is more crucial than ever.

We’re indebted to people like Wilhelm Reich, Hans Eysenck and Theodor Adorno for their ground-breaking work in this field. We believe that, in an age of diminishing ideology, The Political Compass helps a new generation in particular to get a better idea of where they stand politically — and the sort of political company they keep.
