I'm sure someone's posted this here before, but I STILL see threads about left vs right, republican vs democrat, so I'll try and curb the ignorance a bit more ;)
Visit this site, take the test (post it if you want)

Basically, it says that politics are not simple and one dimensional, that not all of the so-called "left" agree, ditto with the right. On the left-right scale, Ghandi and Stalin are both about the same, but their politics were radically different. That is because most people ignore the up-down scale, that is, anarchy vs fascism. On the compass' example, Hitler and Stalin are similar on the up-down plane (highly fascist). However, Hitler is slightly right of center, while Stalin is far left.
Here's my score (personally, not my NS country:p), if you care:
