hey, if/when you take the #politicalcompass test,
could you please read the instructions carefully.
recently i've seen several people (pundits and posters), talk about its questions.
the political compass does not ask even 1 question.

see for yourself... search for question marks through each page of the test.

how many question marks do you count? i count zero question marks.

the introduction to https://politicalcompass.org/test states it plainly on the first line.
there are no questions. it's not questions. stop calling it questions!

Before taking the test: Please note that this isn’t a survey, and these aren’t questions. They’re propositions. To question the logic of individual ones that irritate you is to miss the point. Some propositions are extreme, and some are moderate. That’s how we can show you whether you lean towards extremism or moderation on the Compass. Your responses should not be overthought. Some of them are intentionally vague. Their purpose is to trigger reactions in the mind, measuring feelings and prejudices rather than detailed opinions on policy.
