So, since my political outlook has been refined considerably in the past, say, 4 years, I took this test again.
I'd be interested in what people like Zimmerman, NTB, Iron, sam04u, and Schroedinger get these days.
Political Compass Test
Economic Left/Right: -6.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.10
Which places me comfortably as a 'leftie', which is something I'd probably never admit openly.

Centre-left sounds more like it.
Below is me 4.5 months ago. Quite a shift in stance for such a small amount of time. Probably because I've grown to revile most aspects of libertarianism, as well as right-wing conservatism, as both extremist and inhumane.
The strongly left-wing economic stance is probably a bit inaccurate; I'm a fan of mixed markets, so I hate laissez-faire (entirely free) and communist markets (entirely government regulated). Australia's mixed market is generally ideal.

LOL. Love how it slowly decreases as we go down from left to right, until it hits One Nation and sky-rockets. It's not exactly a
strong correlation to One Nation, though.

Take from that what you will. Political compass says: Far-left. That's a pretty restricted 'measure' of it, though.

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.46
