I felt the graphs to be mainly correct. Also the outcome of calling me a moderate social democrat. I guess we may have more or less given the same answer on expelling criminal immigrants. I'm totally in favor of that.
The major problem I have is the party affiliation they give you. I don't feel as if I have any. I'm mostly voting green. Not because I agree with everything they say, but because they seem to be the only party not having totally lost the direction and connection oto their electorate. Also because they seem to be the least likely to fall for the populous trap.

I just ran one final expirement on the test, choosing the neutral answer for everything (essentially clicking next page 11 times), and I was told I'm a "Bourgeois Patriot" with 9% in the same category and 98% more "extremist" than me. 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.

Here's another test. Though I don't like that there's no neutral option

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.

I didn't know "libertarian" was the opposite of "authoritarian." I don't know if I like that label.
