The best political quiz is this old-school one: http://www.politicalcompass.org/test I agree the political compass quiz is a bit crap, just like a lot of the new Facebook applications that have been severely rushed and are therefore buggy.

Thanks for all your comments! Andrew - Awesome name! The compass was made by The Washington Post, so I'm skeptical that they'd be receptive to my thoughts. But I guess it never hurts to try. Brett - I thought you'd be on the "right" side too! ;) Rich Minx - I haven't tried out LOLcats, but I might give it a go. A positive recommendation always helps. Thanks for the compliment. I've really enjoyed your writing, and I'm looking forward to your travel tips! Hi everybody. Thanks for all your comments!

You can't say it doesn't work - gives me a smile every morning. It’s very childish and slightly ridiculous, but I have a soft spot for the LOLcats application.

Yeah, the compass quiz definitely asks some leading questions. When you're talking liberal v conservative, are we talking social liberals/conservatives or economic liberals/conservatives? I was surprised I ended up on the left side moderate. The way I answered the questions, I thought I would be on the right side. Hmmm... Andrew-

So you had good reason to say "strongly agree." I would just emphasize talking with the creator of the application, if you haven't already, about the unfairness of the question. Thanks for sharing your sharing your concerns! Cool blog.
