The political compass is interesting in that it all but confirms Altemeyer's thesis about authoritarians. Hardly anyone in our society inhabits the top left hand corner, so the more authoritarian one is, the overwhelming likelihood is that one will be toward the right. I bet that if the quiz had been taken in the Soviet Union, the exact opposite result would have been found.
