[Revised] Political Ideology Tests 2020
So, most political compass tests aren't so good because it its really difficult to pin ideology and morality on just two variables, and several more variables is (unfortunately) impossible to visualize. As such I have dug up a two better political ideology/morality and tests in addition to the classic one (below the line) that everyone knows. Perhaps these might be more informative.
PolitiScales - Somewhat long (117 questions) and there's some loaded questions and they could stand for some improvement, but overall they are good. The results pit 8 dichotomies and there is an additional measure for how undecided you are in each of these axis's. The results are a bit pithy but rather informative.
ɪSideWith 2020 - Sadly very US centric and scales you to the relative views of politicans currently running for office. This asks many specific issue questions, you can answer as many or as few as you want, it allows for you to choose more nuanced answers if the common available ones don't capture your opinions, and it lets you scale how important a given issue is for you. The test can get VERY long. It tells you which US political parties and politicians you most align with.
These two together should cover a lot of ground.
Below was the original post:

The Political Compass
This specific test has been around for like, 2 decades now, and hasn't changed a bit. One could argue there are far better tests/measures out there than this, but it's the one everyone uses and knows.
The world has changed significantly in recent years, and as a consequence, so have peoples views. As such, I thought I would make a thread for this in the context of our current/modern political world.
Take the test, and post/share your results.
