What the flying fuck, this test is useless. Answering neutral on everything should end up with a result like "++OUT OF CHEESE ERROR++ ++REDO FROM START++", not calling me a bourgeois patriot, especially considering I've told the algorithm that I've absolutely no opinion on any issue.
That's not so far off. Giving every neutral answer in the books means you don't give half a shit on all these matters. Which can translate into Burgeois. The patriot part is up for debate.
Bourgeois tend to be pro-market (think of where the name comes from, bourgeois>burghers>town dwellers who make a living from selling stuff), and tend also to be small c conservative. If the test were going to give any characterisation I'd expect it to be along the lines of "you are generation X".
@Losty, one of the strengths of the political compass tests is that it takes away the neutral response. In surveys and polls it is generally a bad idea to allow neutral responses to yes no questions, as it allows people an out.
