If you haven't ever encountered this before have a look and take the test. Post your results below. There's some in-built bias to it which is unavoidable with these things but I think it does a decent job as a "relative measure" of things.
[About the Political Compass
In the introduction, we explained the inadequacies of the traditional left-right line.
If we recognise that this is essentially an economic line it’s fine, as far as it goes. We can show, for example, Stalin, Mao Tse Tung and Pol Pot, with their commitment to a totally controlled economy, on the hard left. Socialists like Mahatma Gandhi and Robert Mugabe would occupy a less extreme leftist position. Margaret Thatcher would be well over to the right, but further right still would be someone like that ultimate free marketeer, General Pinochet.
That deals with economics, but the social dimension is also important in politics. That’s the one that the mere left-right scale doesn’t adequately address. So we’ve added one, ranging in positions from extreme authoritarian to extreme libertarian.]

It's a UK/liberal skewed cite so you can also feel free to adjust the axis a bit right and down for most of the U.S. Those Brits love their nanny state after all.GrundleStiltzkin said:

There’s no way Hillary and Barack are that far right. Whoever filled these out for the politicians did so with bias.

It's honestly helpful to ignore the axis lines and really just focus on the relative positions of different people. -
