You are a left social moderate.
Left: 6.28, Authoritarian: 0.47

(And apparently really big on drawing inside the lines)

yes, a very US slanted test. For example, the decreasing military spending question, I would want more spending for Canada, but less if I was a US citizen. Probably skews the results.

regardless, apparently I'm a pinko.

No explanation as to the methodology nor the value system with which each answer has been weighted.

Drawing conclusions from this quiz is not worth much more then pub talk. I know I'm being a bit of a dink

It's similar to taking an "IQ" test off Facebook and trying to pass it off as legitimate.

While I agree there isn't much value in the absolute results, I would think the relative results have a bit of merit. Who knows where the "real" middle is, but if you are left or right, above or below someone who answered the same questions then that has a chance to reflect your relative standing.

I'm pretty wishy washy.


You are a centrist moderate social libertarian.

Foreign Policy:
On the left side are pacifists and anti-war activists. On the right side are those who want a strong military that intervenes around the world. You scored: -2.03



Culture:

Where are you in the culture war? On the liberal side, or the conservative side? This scale may apply more to the US than other countries. You scored: -5.57

Seeing that Montana is rated as one of the most conservative states on their US comparison tool and their average X is still left of center, you guys on the far right side...wow. I guess it is good to loosely know where everybody stands when talking politics here.

I think I'm "left" in the States (the questions were very US-biased), but "right" in Canada.
