Magnets: How do magnets behave when allowed to move freely?

A magnet can be allowed to move freely. This is usually done by suspending it on a thin thread or floating on water and allowed to rotate and swing freely. The magnet will then interact and align itself to the Earth's magnetic field. However, this is provided that there are no other magnetic or electromagnetic influences.
