I thought it might be fun to chart the political views of any volunteer posters, and actually found a decent and comprehensive test for this. I'll compile them all on a chart as I get them.

Here's how it works:

1) Take the quiz at http://www.politicalcompass.org/index

2) You'll get a chart for just you as well as "grid coordinates" if you click the "printer friendly" link when you're done.

3) Post your grid results here in this thread.

4) I'll plot your point and your screen name on the chart.

5) No debate please on the "validity of labels" or comments on how testing is biased, this is just for fun and not used to attack anyone.

So far (click on the image for a larger view):

Its starting to get a little crowded in the center-left, if we get enough responses I may need to just put camping markers with a list of names.

Last time I took a political compass test I landed pretty much right where the lines going left from Ender and up from tthf intercepted.

You must have also picked a lot of "helping hand" items then, it all balances out. People aren't as extreme as they think they are in the big picture.

I'm going to wait to see what the known right-wingers weigh in before I can judge the test skewed, it is surprising that so many folks are coming up slightly left. There's a few reasons for this, one being that people may try to answer differently thinking their exact answers could be discerned. Another being the natural tendency of right-wing psychology toward a persecution complex, so any attempt at testing them would be some kind of violation.

Most likely explanation though, Europeans that are on during the day right now and tend to skew left (benefiting from socialistic government practices) and the Americans will be on in greater numbers later to balance the scale.
