    It’s completely meaningless, actual positions and ideologies are the only way to actually measure.

        It really doesn’t, though. Two people with wildly different views can occupy the same space, what matters is literal positions and stances.

          Not completely. If two people occupy a similar space, it means they agreed on something. That is meaningful. It’s vague, sure. But it isn’t completely random nonsense like astrology.

            It doesn’t. Someone with a “left” view and a “right” view can cancel each other out, occupying the same space as someone with a “neutral” view. It’s worthless.

            Plus, someone can say they are for something, but actually not support it in reality.

              It doesn’t. Someone with a “left” view and a “right” view can cancel each other out,

              Only if the person with a left view also has a right view. And only if the other person with the right view has a left view.

              You seem confused. The point of it isn’t to give a fully accurate explanation of a person’s views on every topic. It’s to give somebody a general idea.

              Plus, someone can say they are for something, but actually not support it in reality.

              All political measurements fall victim to that. It’s a moot point. But just because some people are like that doesn’t mean everyone is.

                It doesn’t, though, plus the test itself is highly flawed and biased.

                  Sure it does. I already explained how.

                    You failed to. It gives an inaccurate view that misleads the user. What matters is what a person actually supports.
