My best match in Germany is clearly the greens, then SPD/Newropeans. I have a 100% match with the Luxembourg green party, after that the Spanish PS is closest Europe-wide.

The anecdotal evidence is a friend of mine who became convinced he should vote green after finding out his position matched theirs through a national electoral compass. Left to the side is the question of issue selection and, to some extent, salience (the EU Profiler allows for weighting but that doesn't really cut it).

Yep. I should also note that I'm not quite sure what relativised my pro-integrationism for the test.

As an example, the French Verts and PS are very close by on the compass ; and that may be true of their programs, yet I don't trust the PS to be independent from neoliberalism to any similar extent...

The placement of PS caught my eyes, too. See my complaint about conflating economic and social right-left below.
