I don't think we'll see any unless someone intentionally aims for it. While I believe we'll see some true extremes, I don't believe we'll have any absolutes. That's an exceedingly rare find.

Another fun quiz is this one:

I am a -7.12 on economics (left) and a -8.92 on social things (libertarian).

An interesting comparison is also:

  There are surprising reactionary folks out there. You scored 388/400--I'd bet there are at least some who'd score lower than 400-388, or 12.
  
  Wow. you're WAY out there on the political compass quiz! :-D
  
  Here's mine:
  
  Economic Left/Right: -5.75
  Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.05
  
  My beliefs are close to those of the Dalai Lama. :-P

    I suppose I am rather out there. You tested in the same region as Swedish friend of mine did. You're a bit left of her (she was maybe a -4.5 on that and self identifies as fairly left). I know a few people who end up left of me and they tend to self-identify as some form of communist or socialist. I'm more a believer in social democracy with attributes of libertarian socialism mixed in. I tend to break with the libertarian position on a number of issues related to international organizations but, other than that, I'm really libertarian on governmental authority to regulate expression and general lifestyle.
    
    I really don't think we'll see anything much more extreme than my 388 or a 12 on the opposite side. I really don't even think we'll see that 12. Maybe a 40.

      To clarify I mean of the Propeller community. Certainly, individuals who would score a 0 do exist, as do people that would score a 400. I actually think someone will score a 400 on this.

      by reverse I mean the social/economic ones are switched.

      You both beat me.
      
      Economic Left/Right: -6.5
      Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.64
      
      Still, we are in the same quadrant as Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and The Dalai Lama. Not too shabby company.
