Political Compass definitely does have a strong Left bias though. It shows when you pick the "more stances" option because it ends up reading something like this:

Q: Are babies edible?

1. Yes, babies can provide a source of nourishment in a well-balanced diet.
2. Yes, and we should eat all babies. Women should be forced to have babies so we can all eat more of them. An all-baby diet will make strong alpha males to protect our baby-eating way of life which is superior to all other systems.
3. No. They're poisonous.
4. No, children are our future but we shouldn't have any without weighing the possible environmental and social justice consequences of procreation.
5. No, and we shouldn't eat animals either. We should only begrudgingly eat plants, engineer plants to consent to being eaten, and you're literally Hitler if you live indoors and don't pocket mulch.

The aggregate of responses after 50 questions leads to about 1 of 3 outcomes. Anarchist, libertarian/left libertarian, or fascist/authoritarian and the questions seem to group strongly on just a few hot button issues at any given time instead of a spectrum of issues since you'll basically see similar questions 2 or 3 times, just phrased differently.

At work when we have a parent with a disobedient child I'll sometimes offer to 'buy' the child off the parent to turn them into hamburger and grind the bones into baby powder but make sure to say that I can only legally do it if the child is being disobedient. 9/10 times the kid usually shuts up and pleads with their parent that they're a good kid; especially when I start sizing them up and giving discount prices for them. The parent usually figures it out right from the get-go. Only one kid ever called me out on the bluff until the parent started asking if they could get more than $20 off at which point they quieted down.
