the political compass is complete bullshit, even if the results were as "accurate" as possible (which they very much aren't)
I think the ONLY useful way to use it is how I do, which is just every couple of years to track how my own views and beliefs have changed throughout me aging (still just for fun/personal interest!). It's not perfect but it can at least measure the change in a single person. To nobodies surprise I started bottom left, close to centre 10 years ago, and now I'm significantly closer to the bottom left corner
Splitting up social and fiscal policy is better than wrapping everything up in "left VS right". It's not perfect, but it's not the worst way to summarize your views.
Yeah but it says I'm exactly where I wanted to be out so it must be perfect /s
