I'm sorry, but I can't help but think that test is horribly biased and inaccurate. Just read some of the questions there.

I totally concur. Look at this B.S. I should be about 10000 graph squares farther to the right. Also I'm somewhat disappointed in my Authoritarian scale index. How many more soybean lickers do I have to run over to make it to the top of that chart?

That was fun.

It means anyone who knows me knows that's about where I'd score.

Looks like most everybody here is in the same area... three or four to the right and up a bit.

I took a silly quiz on Facebook and came up dead-center Libertarian.

I have seen and taken that test before.

The wording of the eligible responses are rather skewed IMO.
"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened." --Norman Thomas, 1944
