Stupid Political Compass is Broken
Posted by Christine Hurt

Dave Hoffman blogs about how silly the Political Compass test is, and I prove how silly I am by taking the bait.  Although I ultimately finished the survey and received scores similar to Dave (barely off center of the Economic scale (-.13) but far down the Libertarian scale (-6.36), the very first question made me just stare at the computer for awhile:

If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations.

I only had the options of Strongly Agree, Agree, Disagree, and Strongly Disagree. There was not the option of "I do not believe this is a binary choice."
