Any guesses what mine might look like?  Well, post yours and I'll put mine up later!  ;)
First time I took it i was  left side toward libertarian centrist.
I changed two questions I might would agree with and became a liberal just outside of centrist in the same direction.


I got pretty much the same answer as this one:
http://www.politicalcompass.org/test

Except on this one I was a little more liberal and libertarian
Our race has many superior qualities, compared with other races.


Ooo... Nice trick question there!  If you disagree is it because you think race shouldn't be considered or that your race is actually inferior?  ;) :D

That test needs a neutral response between disagree and agree.

And, I now have a copy of my test results saved from there as well! :)
I wonder if anyone would say their race is inferior?

They might if they have very low self esteem. ;D

Here are some things they say in the in the FAQ:

You should have a "don't know" option

This makes it too easy for people to duck difficult issues. By forcing people to take a positive or negative stance, the propositions make people really evaluate their feelings. Often people find they wanted to select 'don't know' mainly because they'd never really thought about the idea.


Slanted questions:
Most of them are slanted ! Some right-wingers accuse us of a leftward slant. Some left-wingers accuse us of a rightward slant. But it's important to realise that this isn't a survey, and these aren't questions. They're propositions - an altogether different proposition. To question the logic of individual ones that irritate you is to miss the point. Some propositions are extreme, and some are more moderate. That's how we can show you whether you lean towards extremism or moderation on the Compass.
Some of the propositions are intentionally vague. Their purpose is to trigger buzzwords in the mind of the user, measuring feelings and prejudices rather than detailed opinions on policy.
Incidentally, our test is not another internet personality classification tool. The essence of our site is the model for political analysis. The test is simply a demonstration of it.

I didn't want a "Don't know" option, I wanted a neutral one.  There were a couple of questions where BOTH agree and disagree weren't correct for me.
I'd say my race(human) is inferior to many other animals physically.

What about under the slanted questions part.
I thought that might give an idea as to why they don't put neutral answers in some questions.
Maybe not.

It was kinda funny to me that Hook took this test and we were almost in the same place. Close to Nelson Mandela.
I should read about him. ;D

Well, seeing as no one else is posting theirs, here are mine (from those two tests):





No wonder so many Democraps think I'm a Republicrap and vice-versa. ::)

It is pretty obvious test - I ended up the same place I did last time
It is  biased to libertarianism though.

Let's say it  put these premises.

1 Education should be restricted to those whose parents can afford to pay for it.
2 A private military force should be a right of all who can pay for one.
3 The draft is collectivist socialism - soldiers should simply fight for the highest bidder.

Mine's exactly the same as Fingers'.

I took the other one, and I was right near Gandhi (though a little more "anarchist")

Tripper
Hmmmm.
