I scored almost dead center (x=0.5, y=-0.82), which means I'm not as conservative as I thought (by their standards). The odd thing is I like Ronald Reagan.

Even though I also ended up in the bottom right hand corner I simultaneously was a bit sceptical with the results, as it plots both Thatcher (conservative) and Blair (modern liberal) very close to each other as well as to Hitler, when the positions advocated by the three are notably different to one another. The Nolan Chart appears a more sophisticated indicator. You can at least see where traditional social democrats and conservatives sit on it in conjunction with authoritarians and libertarians. Similarly the values of the choices in each question are absolute in the Politopia or LP version, whereas the Political Compass ones each have a bit of a personal subjectivity involved, with regards to ones own assessment of the severity of ones personal views.

How can I answer a question like "Controlling inflation is more important than controlling unemployment."? How does one control one or the other? I couldn’t even finish the test.
