The political compass thing is pretty worthless, the questions are slanted so that they tend to lean towards the moral majority. I imagine many people aged 20-40 score within the "libertarian left" quadrant. And certainly, that encompasses most people on this forum.

F. ex. there was a question on the political compass asking (as a negation) whether abortion outside of a life-saving operation was justified. Since most people (fuck off Sarah Palin) agree that raped women have the right to an abortion; as an index of social anarchism, it's not very good. Additionally, there were more than a few questions that were redundant or so similar that they couldn't be expected to be separate indices on the political spectrum.

From this compass, I simply don't understand what "politically neutral" entails.
