CorrectFYI it’s a UK test. I think there are some Eurocentric questions, and also it asks for some assumptions.
I felt like that one was a bit charged; “one-Party” is a bit of a trigger & likely to push the test taker to answer disagree because single party is a pejorative, even though in fact that system does have advantages.Your Political Compass

A few of the questions are more about matters of fact than opinion. For example, one-party states really do have the advantage of not wasting a bunch of time and energy on partisan conflict, so I agreed with that statement, but that doesn't mean that one-party states are good on balance. I'm positive that that one "damaged" my authoritarian score wrongly.

I had the same thought on that question - seems undeniably true but also not necessarily preferred.A few of the questions are more about matters of fact than opinion. For example, one-party states really do have the advantage of not wasting a bunch of time and energy on partisan conflict, so I agreed with that statement, but that doesn't mean that one-party states are good on balance.

I voted disagre on that as I disagree that it is much of an advantage at all in the long term. It would be a worthwhile thread, perhaps, to discuss thatI felt like that one was a bit charged; “one-Party” is a bit of a trigger & likely to push the test taker to answer disagree because single party is a pejorative, even though in fact that system does have advantages.Your Political Compass

A US test would have had questions on the 2nd amendment, no doubtFYI it’s a UK test. I think there are some Eurocentric questions, and also it asks for some assumptions.
BingoBut there were quite a lot of questions where I dithered over agree and disagree, could have used a neutral option
I ended up disagreeing with the statement because while it’s true, I don’t see it as an advantage.For example, one-party states really do have the advantage of not wasting a bunch of time and energy on partisan conflict, so I agreed with that statement,
Yeah - I struggled with that question. I think I ultimately hit "disagree" focusing on the word "advantage". It is easier to enact policies, but that is not an advantage if they are the wrong policy choices.For example, one-party states really do have the advantage of not wasting a bunch of time and energy on partisan conflict,
I get that, but I would argue that you talked yourself into that position because you know that answering the other way would push your score in the "wrong" direction.

I did as well. Not sure it's as big of an effect as you think as my libertarian ratio is still quite high. But I only agreed rather than strongly agreed fwiw.A few of the questions are more about matters of fact than opinion.

i agree and i chose agree because it was worded more as an operational strategy as opposed to a philosophical maxim.Your Political Compass

Hmm. I took two tests this morning. The other one just asks you about things that gross you out and ranks you based on that.I think I took a different test than you.
There’s another political spectrum test that just rates you based on what you find disgusting. It’s equally accurate.Or you took it without such drinks beforehand...
It might surprise some how close to the economic middle they have Hitler. I think the reason is he had wildly right policies and wildly left policies and they ended up in their calculation in fairly close to the economic middle. That's an example of how this sort of thing can be deceiving. I don't think anyone would call Hitler an economic centrist.BobbyLayne said:Most of us are either Ghandi or Thatcher.
Of note: no Hitlers.
