Any compas with only two axes is so flawed as to be actively harmful to discourse.
I’m afraid I’m only familiar with the 2-axis political compass: Left/Right and Auth/Lib.
How many axes do you think there should be in an effective political chart, and what aspects of a political position should each one represent?
To be robust, it needs a social axis distinct from the heirarcy / authority axis, a political status-quo-vs-reform axis, and a dedicated economic policy axis. So, at least four.
Do you know of a test that has these axes, or more? I would be very interested to take it if so, and I am inclined to agree with you about the political compass test and others like it - they dont capture the true complexity of most people’s political views - I’m all over the place myself
