Centrist!? at around 7.5,8.5!?

Shows how skewed his compass is.

Or does that mean I'm centrist too, with my -7.5,-8.5?

That's a big wide centre.

    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".

    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.
