I got

center-left moderate social libertarian.

Anyway, I didn't like some of the questions. The one about the military spending especially. I think Canada should spend more money on its military, but not the U.S., and I don't think spending more money upgrading our outdated helicopters, ships and tanks makes me a "warmonger" or that I agree with the production of more 1 billion dollar F22s or whatever.

What was more troubling/surprising is that I only have a 44% chance of surviving a zombie invasion (http://www.gotoquiz.com/results/will...bie_invasion_5)

I would like to think I could out think a mindless horde.

But yeah, I think its my social stances that lean me to the left since I'm pretty conservative on economics.

Its not easy having to listen to the mouth breathers at work talk about fake birth certificates and bible prophecies claiming that Obama is bringing about the end times...

I generally oppose war, but even I can conceive of a situation in which "war is necessary, even if it means you strike first," if the only limit is my imagination. I'm forced to answer "Agree strongly," even though in general I oppose pre-emptive war.

Keep in mind, if you remember your high school Social Studies, you should be able to know which questions belong to which axis (x or y) and skew your results as such.

If you're taking this quiz just to skew your results, why don't you just skip the foreplay and just mess with the image URLs?
