I must say that this quiz was a bit slanted to the right

I found this test totally biased. It was very hard to complete, since most of the options given, both on the right and left, didn't make any sense. Were totally radical, unworkable proposals.

The questions are on an authoritarian/libertarian scale rather than the traditional conservative/liberal or left/right scale. The test was definitely made by a Libertarian(especially considering it told me I should run for office as one, lol).

LOL. No, it ranked me as Radical Libertarian. The test definitely was written by one, so I tended to agree with it more than other people would. I don't think this test really accounts for anarchists.

Maybe you should consider it. Wink

Seriously though, we could always use more members - or you could just send in some money, throw us some votes in local elections, or anything else that would help.

This is incredibly biased, as I had one economic issue I was right-of-center on

I don't know if it said the same for y'all but when I scored my score it said, "Great Job, You're a Conservative!"

I like the result but it is slanted in a  libertarian direction.

Wow, I tried it again and I got:



And they told me:

"Apparently, you think government should have more control over your life. Having trouble making decisions for yourself? Or do you enjoy making other people's decisions for them at virtual gunpoint?

If the latter, remember that unless you are dictator, the power to make other people do what you want them to do can be used by others against you. "

And my suggested links were the IRS and expedia so I can "Travel! See the world! It is just chock full of authoritarian regimes for you to experience. Maybe you can find your perfect home. Or maybe you might decide the freedom is pretty good after all."

I think we've confirmed the author's political philosophy

I don't listen to what party they say I'm affliated with. 

To me, I'm on the line between Libertarian and Conservative.

Besides, if they would have asked an Abortion or Gay Marriage question, my ranking would have probably jumped into the Republican field.

I think that may be precisely why they didn't. It's an extremely biased test.
