The Political Compass is an online test you can take for free which will place you on a dual axis political field.
The left-right axis places your economic views with Marxism being on the extreme left and neo-liberalism/libertarianism on the extreme right. The vertical axis displays how authoritarian or libertarian you are.
This is important because simple 'left' and 'right' don't accurately illustrate the real positions of lots of people. Hitler, for example, is regarded as an extreme right winger, but in reality many of his economic policies were socialist - Nazi after all is a shortening of NSDAP - National Socialist German Workers Party. There are plenty more examples all around us.
The test can be completed here: http://www.politicalcompass.org/test
However, I would recommend that you read the blurb explaining how it works in greater depth here: http://www.politicalcompass.org/index
Here's mine:
Lets keep it civil
BTW. I know this has come up on the forums before but not for a while. So I figure there's no harm.
