These three questions are as far from a good test as you can possibly get. Most people leaning to the extremities of the political spectrum (both, left and right) support strong-hand dictatorships, are disgusted by LGBT rights and distrust their government's lead on vaccinations mandate.
Defining political leaning has more to do with attitude towards allowable vs. mandated Governmental involvement into people's lives and towards fiscal policy. Centrists want to balance responsible fiscal policy with responsible social support systems. Those left of center put more emphasis on the latter (thus, increasing Governmental involvement); right of center put more emphasis on the former (thus, reducing such involvement). Religious and ideological zealots are never near the center; they are always at the extremities of the spectrum.
