UPDATE to the 2012 Political Compass check-in. Take the candidate quiz and add those results too!

32. this quiz might actually be valid for all I know; it's the chart with politicians I take issue with

well, that and the rest of the libertarian bullshit on that site.

I thought the quiz was interesting and I don't have issues with where it put me. There is just no way that the answers to those questions would result in Obama falling where he does. Hell, Romney might not even be that authoritarian, although I guess that would depend on who he was talking to at the time.

To give any kind of credibility to those placements, I would need to see how the answers attributed to each politician resulted in that score. Like I said, I looked for it on the site. When I got to the "argument" that Obama voters put more emphasis on his pigment than his policies, I said fuck this shit and gave up.

So I came to the conclusion that maybe the quiz is valid or the placement is valid, or neither. They aren't both valid.

But again, the quiz was interesting.
