Political Compass (2013-02-20; AXY)
A distribution plot of the Political Compass results from group members to date (n = 61). The yellow marker denotes the sample mean, while the green marker denotes my personal score.
Where are all the authoritarian communists?
For reference: this distribution is strongly biased because it is drawn from (1) people who are members of Flickr; (2) people who have chosen to take the Political Compass test; and (3) people who have responded to a request to include their results in this Flickr group. As a result, the distribution is (very) unlikely to be representative of the wider public view.
That last caveat made, it does seem to be the case that Flickr members are predominantly in the lower left quadrant (myself included). There are a few in the right quadrants who have been invited but haven't (yet) added their scores to the group, but probably no more than there are of bottom-lefties who haven't added their scores.
