Progressivism   95
Socialism   87.5
Tenderness   53.125

Your test scores indicate that you are an open-minded ultra-progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a university professor. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a pragmatic attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a humanist.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a sensible principled egalitarian with an established worldview.

This concludes our analysis; we hope you found your results accurate, useful, and interesting.

Sounds about right. Though now I think I may have taken the wrong test.

Yeah, test is crap. Half of the questions could have been either way, depending on how you interpret it.

Some close questions, but I think it nailed it.

Just kidding.

Though the test is definitely biased in its wording towards the left/libertarian, and I'm curious where the logic comes from for some of these questions (like how an opinion on religion is supposed to equate to an opinion on social security).

It's designed to make people who actually progressives or socialists think they should associate with the libertarian party, yeah.

Seriously, Political Compass is an unhelpful test— the weightings are completely arbitrary.

Yeah, it's not even worth making a link out of it. This is about as unbiased as Soviet propaganda and somewhat American oriented, too (I've not since one change in politics where I live to happen due to any counter-terrorism, for example). OK, time to find some other tests. ;)

Fairly average it seems, at least for this forum.
