The Failings of the Political Compass
In this criticism of the standard Political Compass, it is found that the test and graph are not universally valid, objective devices. Despite the attempts of its makers claiming the opposite, the Political Compass is a form of entertainment not meant for serious thinking. It fails on two main counts: it does not give a satisfying answer on if it is possible to quantify and chart out one's politics and how and why the Political Compass is 'universally valid and timeless.'
