I got a 45 out of 400.

That lists me as "extremely conserative"....

This is one of the few things I have done where "low score wins"....

The other 2 were golf and Enduros....

Despite a good number of those questions being phrased in a deliberately misleading manner, I still managed 56.

I got a 71.  Probably because I see some safety and environmental regulation being both necessary and useful.

I got a 40.  :) But I have to admit that I answered some questions with very strong answers due to the way the question was phrased.  For example - I don't for a single second think that government should take care of the poor etc - but I do think that society should through church and charities.  I think more people would change their answers and drift right if they drew a line between society and the government - sadly the left has managed to completely muddle that line.  ya know?

I got 143.  There where some stupid questions that just were just to leading, so I answered 5 on those.  It says I'm very conservative.

I answered looking at the absolute basic root level of the questions they were asking and answering that way.  If it was a leading question I looked at the basic principal behind it and responded to THAT rather than to what they were phrasing.
