I thought considering the other hyperbolic thread some might find it interesting or fun to see where they stand.

Take the test and report which quadrant you fit into.

Which puts it about halfway between the center and extreme right on economy, and only slightly upward into the authoritarian part. According to their picture of world leaders, that puts me closest to Angela Merkel.

One question I found odd: "Abstract art that doesn't represent anything shouldn't be considered art at all." For the life of me I can't figure out why they asked this on what was otherwise a political survey. Since there wasn't a "who cares" button, I clicked on "agree" but I truly have no opinion on the matter at all.

Fairly accurate, as I've always considered myself slightly left of center.

hmm

i got

Economic score: -0.77
Social score: -3.13

Your score pegs you as economically centrist and socially moderately libertarian

but it was very US centric.

They are, but I don't think it's really possible to get an accurate view of someone's political standing in 50 questions. For example, in actuality I'm probably far more authoritarian, but because of the questions that were asked (or those that weren't, really), that didn't really come through.

They're fun tests, though. :smirk:

Well, I score:

Economic Left/Right: -4.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.44

I guess that makes me a left-to-centre-left libertarian, which is roughly right. I'm probably more of a libertarian than that on most social issues, but have occasional sudden leaps to an extreme authoritarian position on a few others.
