You have to admit the questions were written towards the extreme of positions. Yes or no, 1's and 0's. I really do not think it is highly accurate.

That's why most personality tests are over 100 questions. Those 1's and 0's can add up to a good representation, the same way the more 1's and 0's, the more detailed the resolution in an image file.

Look at some of the sample personality tests in the link I provided. Most of them have more questions than Political Compass.

Still, it does provide enough for a rough mapping.

Has anyone taken the Political Compass history exam (Iconochasms). I scored 25 out of 48.

To paraphrase GWB "History is hard!"
