The graphic near the middle of the page lists whether the models are "close" to their stated political leanings.

The row for Claude says "Measures 0.34 further left than it says" yet the icons depict that it actually is the other way around - 0.34 further right than what it claims.

If you scroll up to "Where they split" on the individual issues, that also appears to be backwards: it's saying ChatGPT is right-wing and Grok is left-wing, based on the descriptions above and below. They make more sense in the mouseover popup though (these are actually agree/disagree, not left/right stance).

In guessing these are all just badly designed. There's another comment thread about how the icons are positioned badly on the political compass chart.
