Oh great. Now do Myers-Briggs next. This should be entitled "the bias of extremely online programmers who actually care about their Political Compass results".

Oh great. Now do Myers-Briggs next. This should be entitled "the bias of extremely online programmers who actually care about their Political Compass results". The Political Compass has exactly the same validity as the Myers-Briggs test. It's a work of advocacy by a New Zealand opinion columnist named Wayne Brittenden. It wasn't devised by political scientists, and it doesn't arise from a sincere attempt to find important axes in human political beliefs. It's expressly designed to insert libertarianism as a new axis into politics, even though there's no reason to believe that this is a salient axis. Some people in this thread are asserting that "most content on the internet is left-wing", which doesn't make sense to me. If we were to try to devise a scale for judging clusters of political opinion, it wouldn't make sense for the majority of people to be clustered in an extreme of the graph. That suggests the scale is out of whack.
