Political Compass: Where do you fall?

Of the many variations of this test living on the internet, this must be one of the worst. Between a third and half of the questions made me want to answer: "Not applicable: Underlying assumption incorrect" or "Not applicable: False choice". For the sake of producing some result, though, I consistently chose "disagree" whenever my true answer would have been "not applicable". The test identified me as a libertarian, as expected.

Do you know of any that you particularly favor?

It's interesting to see there are no politicians in the quiz's square who are both civil and economic libertarians.

No, because test like these are inherently simplistic, so I don't really favor any of them. It's just that this one isn't just simplistic, it's also confusing and misleading. That said, I do favor the political survey at beasts.org over this one. It bases much fewer of its questions on premises that are themselves questionable, offers much fewer false choices, and gives you the option to say "no opinion", which is a reasonable answer to any remaining skewed questions.
