On the political compass test. I came in almost in the center, just a hair bit to the right.

Mine was the mirror image of yours. I came out center just to the left about as far as yours is to the right. I guess we know that the political compass is BS, huh?

I guess it depends on how honestly you answered the questions.

What would be the point of lying on a test to see where you stand on various issues? A test nobody else even sees but you unless you share it.

It is not unknown that some people lie to themselves.

I am sure you do that all the time. But if you are taking a political test that asks your opinion on various topics in order to gauge your political stance, why would you lie to yourself about what you believe about those topics? Why would a liberal WANT to lie about topics to make himself look more conservative, for instance. Would you? Say the question is, "Do you support a mother's right to choose to abort her fetus in the first trimester?" - Assuming you, tassy, believe "yes" why would you answer "no?" or vice versa?

Is that an admission of the guilt you feel for being a liberal toady?
