At this stage I just want a very broad poll, hence my lack of options involving whether or not someone has moderate or extreme political affinities...
No option for apolitical, sorry... ;)

Currently: all over the place

left. i feel i'm going to a more central place now than i was before (and i feel a lot of it is because i always feel i need to be a reasoning pointing of my surroundings, so when people where mostly apolitical/conservatives, i would be a bit of a radical, now everyone seem so radical that i need to be a moderate voice).

My score chart looks almost identical to Kiprobalhato's.
Economic Left/Right: -1.0
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.56
That was unexpected because I am a conservative pagan.

Economic Left/Right: -5.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.31

Which is roughly where I'd have guessed.

Same happened to me...
I'm more a moderate conservative if I have to label myself...

I think some of the questions were a bit unfair...
Some sounded as though you would have to be a hard line fascist to agree with them, hence the skewing of the results...
I'm not convinced it was a credible evaluation...

Political Compass is a pretty terrible website yeah, it's run by someone who is very far left and uses it as a tool to convince people to vote Green. The worst thing is that astrology question which is lolworthy.

It puts me down as very liberal and slightly right of centre, which I think is about right - but at this point I know how to answer the questions, so I don't think that means much.

I don't think of myself as apolitical, but I also don't think of myself as left or right. I think liberalism is a distinct position, which could sensibly be defined as economically centrist but is also much more than that.

I agree that a few of the questions were worded in a manner that could only result in a predetermined answer. Polling questions are often biased by the pollsters preconceptions.
I figured I belonged deep in the purple, not close to center in the green.
