It had some weird questions like: "Abstract art that doesn't represent anything shouldn't be considered art at all" and "Astrology accurately explains many things"
What have those got to do with politics?

Economic Left/Right: 6.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.64

I considered myself thoughtful moderate. :roll:

Probably is characterizing someone opinions using only 2 numbers a very poor way to do so.

Here are my scores:

Economic Left/Right: 1.75

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.31

I also scored the following on the web site that Dan mentioned:

Personal Score 62%

Economic Score 66%

Here's a key to what that means:

Quote:

Based on the above score, you are a Moderate Libertarian.

Personal Score
This measures how much you believe government should intervene in people's personal lives. Personal issues include health, love, recreation, prayer and other activities that are not measured in dollars.

A high score (above 60%) means you believe in tolerance for different people and lifestyles.
A low score (below 40%) means you believe that your standards of morality & safety should be enforced by government.
Economic Score

This measures how much you believe government should intervene in people's economic lives. Economic issues include retirement funding, budget allocations, and taxes.

A high score (above 60%) means you believe in personal responsibility for your financial matters, and that free-market competition is better for people than central planning by the government.
A low score (below 40%) means you believe that a good society is best achieved by the government redistributing wealth. You believe that government's purpose is to decide which programs are good for society, and how much should be spent on each program.

Here's a link to that quiz, if anyone is interested: http://www.ontheissues.org/quizeng/XPolitics/start.asp
