two dimensions of opinion

In November I linked to a “Political Compass” and mentioned some improvements I’d like to see. Chris Lightfoot apparently had already made them. Rather than assigning preconceived interpretations to the questions, Lightfoot waited until a large number of people had done his quiz, and then did a factor analysis to define the axes.

Lightfoot’s quiz was cited by Tim Lambert (Deltoid), who invites you to add your name to a chart. (I hope you will; only a few names on it are familiar to me.)

My score is {-1.37, +6.29}, near the top center of Lambert’s chart.
