Hmm, a lot of those questions had nothing to do with politics. But anyway, it put me pretty much where I'd put myself on a 2D graph:
Economic Left/Right: 2.88 Authoritarian/Libertarian: -4.62 |

Am I the only one who thought that the first question presents a false dichotomy?
Anyway, I'm at Economic Left/Right 2.75 and Authoritarian/Libertarian -2.00. That seems pretty accurate. |

Left is Liberal? Right is Conservative? Isn't that how it goes?
A Liberal is just a Conservative embracing change. A Conservative is just a Liberal who has achieved it. Seems like that's how it works to me anyway. My Better half says there should be a choice "I Don't Know." And I agree there is definitely a false dichotomy in the first question. There's a false dichotomy in the second question too. Tribal borders again. Didn't know how to answer this one: Quote:
