        I think they had a valid question. Do you think a one-dimensional left/right scale is better than the 2 dimensional political compass? Is there a better method of classifying political beliefs for those of us who don’t have degrees in political science?

          Personally, more axes the better, but that calls into question,are we playing teams, or are we trying to do actual science?

      Maybe there shouldn’t be a scheme simplifying a complex matter to two axes, coupled with these short questionnaires? Or it shouldn’t be taken seriously at all? PCM is a Harry Potter houses test for political fandoms on the internet, it has it’s niche, but neither it, nor other models bring something meaningful to the table for it is by design a gross oversimplification.
