where are you on the political compass?

Interesting. Most of us in roughly the same position so far...and almost all of us in the same quarter (if we count in Pete, Boba & Chris's borderline results). Bruce being the only one clearly in the zone marked "right".

Coincidence? Don't think so.

Typical Evertonian position? If no ties to Merseyside I don't think an Evertonian would automatically have the same political position as someone from Liverpool.

Bias of the test? According to Rational-Wiki if anything there's been accusations the test is anti-liberal biased, as it puts both Labour & LibDems firmly in the blue. It means most of us are alligned with the Green Party (a surprise to many, I bet), while @Bruce Wayne must form his own party with @Boba Fret as there's no representing in the purple quarter.

But then others will report it gives the impression of having a pro-liberal bias:

"I used to recommend this test to people, believing it to be a good measure of political beliefs. Over the last couple years, however, I started to notice that a certain type of person who is actually very clearly conservative gets consistently labeled as a left-wing libertarian by that test."

It's a pretty simplistic test to be honest and doesn't allow for much nuance.
