Quite frankly, I find this test to be not the best.

I don't think its accurate. Hitler was not on the right, he was a socialist after all.

No, he certainly not was on the right.  Leftists (or, if you'd prefer, collectivists/statists) love to push the meme that fascism is a right-wing ideology, when in fact it is simply a different flavor of totalitarian statism.  The struggle of right versus left is the struggle of individual freedom versus collectivism/statism, a category that socialism and fascism both fall in to.
Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.   ~Robert A. Heinlein

This political compass test is flawed. I took it many times and had different results.

I've taken it several times over the last few months.  My results are different every time.  As I've gotten more and more disgusted with the idiots in DC, I'm going harder and harder to the Right.

Economic Left/Right: 4.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 4.15

Well, damn.

I just took the test again, after a year or so.

The questions are different from what I recall the first time.

However, I scored exactly as I had last time, two lines above the center, in the center (as on first page of this thread).

One can't be more moderate than that, but one wonders if Skins's island, which is always seeking moderators, "centrists and liberals," would take fransolich as a centrist.

You centrist, you.

Actually, it's pretty remarkable.  I got my centrist score despite that I love George Bush, I believe in pursuing the war on terror with all speed and diligence, am pro-life and pro-small government, boost the Second Amendment, trust our men and women in uniform, think the death penalty is underapplied, favor lower taxes, support the First Amendment, including the freedom of (not "from", but "of") religion, think those on the public dole should have to do some work.....and I end up a centrist.

I suspect the primitives don't know excresence about scientific measurements of ideology, because by the primitives' ill-formed standards, franksolich is a radical right-wing extremist.
