The political compass is a bad test because it never tests your actual social ideology on the role of government. It asks a lot more about whether you agree or disagree with certain behaviors, rather than if you agree or disagree with punishing them. That is why Ron Paul is in the conservative sector of the chart.

political compass is horrible - it lists ron paul as an authoritarian and claims that you can be libertarian even if you support 0% economic freedom.

Milton Friedman is in that quadrant, and I am actually right next to him politically according to them. Not entirely true.
