Tim Lambert (Deltoid) is compiling a table of bloggers’ scores in a Political Compass quiz. I scored in the middle of the Right Libertarian quadrant, close to Will Wilkinson (The Fly Bottle). I suspect I’d be further left if some of the questions were worded differently.
Later: I wonder whether the creators of the Compass website are doing any factor analysis on the responses (analogous to that which produced the Animation of Congress) to check the validity of their scoring rules. (I also wish I had a clue about how factor analysis is done.)
2006: I didn’t record my exact score back then; so I did the quiz again just now and scored (+4.63, -5.85).
I have since acquired a clue about how factor analysis is done, from an unexpected source. It pays to have random interests.
