I feel the Right vs Left labels are a bit too constrictive and imprecise, so I found a test that shows a four way axis.

It will be interesting to see where the Right leaning folks are in relation to the north/south axis.

I'll give 25 rounds of 55 gr 5.56mm soft point to the person who can gess the closest to my score.

I can't be fit on the compass. I can't honestly answer the questions the way they are worded. They want you to react emotionally to the questions. I don't function that way.

I won't any more waste of my time on this.

Have fun.

I put you left of center, not close but left. I'm good on ammo but thanks for the offer:)

Yeah this is the most poorly worded "quiz" ever... Talk about setting up some leading questions and false dichotomies!

While I agree with several others, in that the quiz was written with a bias, I had a few minutes to spare (Men's volleyball on TV doesn't hold my interest very well).

Economic Left/Right: 3.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.31

On the right, just barely above the line. I think I would rather be an Asshole. At least then I would be in good company [Coffee]

. . . and I'm still a right-leaning Libertarian. Weird questions, but the results were pretty accurate.

I am apparently a Right leaning Libertarian, astonishingly accurate.

I am a right leaning libertarian according to that thing. Some of the questions were horribly skewed and there was no way to answer them the way I think. It also said that Obama is more to the right then I am. I think this "Quiz" is complete nonsense

This is where I ended up.

Economic Left/Right: 3.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.13

Last time I took this ,I was a little more towards the left (1 or 2 points) and a point or two more libertarian.

I'm pretty dang close to the center cross hairs. Just 1.xx right and down... the quiz made me sick though. Clearly written by a lefty collegiate student or activist.

I agree here... it was a very poorly written quiz.
I landed Libertarian Right... where I thought I'd be.
