Clearly Flawed. You should be able to weight the importance of the question or issue.

The Political Compass
Economic Left/Right: -2.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.74

About where I thought. I'm more left than right. I'm more libertarian than authoritarian. Neither point to any extreme.

A lot of the questions are flawed by nature. It wouldn't matter if you weighed their importance or not.

I have taken a ton of these "tests" and most seem to have a weighting system. On this scale I should be somewhere around the center of the purple square. Some of the questions meant nothing to me while others I find extremely important. That or they should have an "I don't give a ----" option for each question.
