Where do you fall on this political compass quiz? Just curious...?
http://www.politicalcompass.org/test
This is my score:
Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -6.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.05
I think some of the extreme ones just measure how extreme your politics are. There are also more moderate ones. It is then taken as a whole. Maybe you should take it. It will probably seem accurate after it shows where you stand.

I think that is about the most biased set of questions I have ever read... In court, that would be called "leading a witness"...
For example... Abortion.. "should it always be illegal". It totally ignores the actual question regarding Roe vs Wade which is, did the Supreme Court WRITE a law that overwrites individual state laws that regulate a medical procedure...

This is basically a more in-depth attempt at the world's smallest political quiz. I honestly prefer that one over this one, as much of the wording IS leading on this version. Plus there is not an option for saying you have a neutral view on a subject. But criticism exists even for the smaller test. At the end of the day there is no way to come up with a strictly neutral set of questions for our political beliefs. So ask yourself WHY you answered a specific question as you did, instead of trying to figure out what pigeon hole you best fit into.

I also didn't like the wording, using "always," "never," and "most important," etc. doesn't account for the fact that most people judge situations depending on the circumstances. I would have also liked to have the option "neither agree nor disagree."
But overall, it put me where I thought I'd be, closer to the center than at either extreme.
