Just found this thread because someone sent me the web address of the Political Compass. I agree, there ought to be a 'centre' answer. Even a 'don't have an opinion' or 'don't mind about this issue'.
I came out dead centre on the authoritarian/libertarian scale, and 2 points to the left on the other one.

I had noticed a small personal shift to the left in recent times.
It seems to be indeed small.

I started taking it again. But this time I got so annoyed with the "premise false -- can't answer yes or no" kind of questions that I didn't finish. That said, it's pretty safe to guess that I'm still a libertarian, although John Edwards probably has corrupted my purity as an economic libertarian somewhat since I last took the test. I knew something was wrong with me when nimh and I found ourselves supporting the same candidate.
