Do you consider yourself more left or right wing?

I see the "Political Compass" is making its usual rounds in the forums. It seems to make periodic appearances in the forums. I've never put much stock in it. "Crock of horseshit" comes to mind when I think of the Political Compass. It's very poor at nuance, and some of its quesitons border on political strawman positions.

I personally like the political compass, because it's more expressive than left/right.  

But I think it's a crazy stretch in general to think that we can weigh all political stances and plot people on a simple 1D/2D chart. 

It is, but that isn't saying much. Some of the questions are ridiculous on both ends of the spectrum. There should also be a "neutral/don't care" option on them, at least.
