They have a bit on that kind of thing on the site … iirc … lemme see if I can find it for you… alas, no, failed to find from skim reading its menus and https://politicalcompass.org/about , https://politicalcompass.org/faq , and other pages… I was sure they had a bit about where their center was, along with how their statements are weighted in the test, and how worded, and why they don’t change it.
Also, measuring it by a popularity bellcurve would reduce its meaningfulness and utility. It’d make weather-vanes of far more of us, leaving fewer sign posts.
How does that site locates the origin (0,0)?
Shouldn’t the origin be the center of mass of the position of all people or something?
I sort of doubt that the average opinion of all people, or at least a representative subset, is between “Die Grünen” and “Die Linke”.
Idk but the political compass is generally not a good model for understanding politics anyway.
