This is a little backwards from what I'm used to seeing (The Nolan Chart), but I think that may be a good thing. Removes some of the bias.

You'll find me due south, and straight on til morning.

A great number of questions in the political compass are flawed and geared towards the conventional left/right paradigm, which is why so few people end up in the "libertarian right."

Despite this, whenever I grind my teeth through their test I tend to end up around the middle of the libertarian right zone.

I took this a while back. I was all the way to the left and about three or four squares down. But some of the questions weren't nearly specific enough and depending on your interpretation of the question or the circumstances the question could be applied to, my answer would have changed. Still, close enough.

I started to take the test and couldn't get past the first page because the questions all seem loaded.

"No one chooses his or her country of birth, so it's foolish to be proud of it." Agree or disagree?
"Our race has many superior qualities, compared with other races.   " Agree or disagree?
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Agree or disagree?

Ridiculous questions that either seem loaded or politically irrelevant if you ask me

Well, this one is also a little biased, but at least it's not biased left/right:

Interesting, I'm a moderate economic left and social centrist on the first, but a moderate right libertarian on the other Cheesy

Beyond just being biased, it fails to take into consideration how people can hold personal views without calling upon society to do anything about them. Someone may think that sex outside of marriage is the most immoral thing a person could do without believing that any state measures should be taken to regulate such, but they would still be thrown up the "fascism scale" for such.

Yeah, far right and quite libertarian.

Frankly though, a lot of these questions are loaded. Several times it seems to give you the option of either the state doing A or the state doing B with no option to say that it is a matter of personal preference (look at a lot of the third section)

You're standing on a flagstone running with blood, alone and so very lonely because you can't choose but you had to

Two-dimensional compasses are so 19th Century, and very undependable. I choose the bright light of science to go where I will.

Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.
