The questions are far, far too limited. I’m far more authoritarian than this test would have you believe.

Really, I agree with freetoken— a 2D test can’t measure much.

One thing I think can’t be captured by a thing like this is the end result of these ideals. For example, I support single payer health care not because I think we have an obligation to each other to help each other when we’re sick or injured, but because it’s simply the most practical and inexpensive way of going about it. So what should I answer to the idea that people who can pay more should get a higher level of care? There’s nowhere on earth that doesn’t allow some private add-on to the medical system— private rooms, home health aides, etc. But I don’t think that those who can pay more should be higher up on the the transplant list, for example.

However, my results: I’m a commie. A libertarian Commie.

Economic Left/Right: -9.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.49

Anyway, I believe the main purpose of this test is to tell people they’re libertarians.
