It's a good thing we can all be easily classified into two groups.

At a very basic level, the combination of social and economic issues is silly. The politicalcompass.org site/method is not without bias, but at least they break it into a two dimensional problem. I've found that a great number of hackers/engineers skew towards more libertarian beliefs, where they may be "liberal" on one issue and then "conservative" on the next, but overall maintain a perfectly rational & consistent basis for their beliefs. These types of people don't fit well on a simplified 1-dimensional line between left & right.
