I found this to be an interesting political and social spectrum indicator that is more than just a simple left/right or liberal/conservative label. I think a lot of people in this particular forum would be curious about where they fall on it.
The test show results in a 2D graph where the 'left' is communism (collectivism), 'right' is Neo-liberalism (Libertarianism), 'top' is authoritarian (fascism), and 'bottom' is libertarian (anarchism). The horizontal scale is economic views and the vertical is social views. In this test, communism is an entirely state controlled economy where as neo-liberalism is extreme deregulated economy.

The candidates of the US Presidential Election of 2008 are here: http://www.politicalcompass.org/uselection2008
The chart with the primaries surprised me by how close they all were, the short distances between most of them, and what that reflects about America.
Try it, you might be surprised or pleasantly reinforced
