Testing 1... 2... 3... Testing

The Political Compass is definitely a fun site to poke around; check it out when you have time to really dig into it. The site introduction is informative, and the "Iconochasm" quiz, (the link is midway down the green sidebar on the left side of their web site), gives you the opportunity to match quotes to the speaker, which isn't as easy as it looks at first glance. I got most of them wrong. The FAQ is worth a read, and they even have a grid of the 2004 U.S. presidential candidates. I especially appreciated the inclusion of a suggested reading list for each of the four quads so you can be on the same page as your bretheren. All in all, it's a pretty interesting web site, even if you find yourself disagreeing with any of the methodology.
Last but not least, if you just can't get enough, go try the Neocon quiz to find out if you too are an empire builder! Like the geography quiz, you probably know where you stand but what the heck, don't be a party pooper! You might be an Isolationist, Liberal, Realist, or Neoconservative. Can you guess what I am? I'll give you a hint: just call me Woodrow or Jimmy. There go any political aspirations I might have had.
