Where is the best place to go to take a political allignment quiz?  Most of the ones I've found are skewed towards making everyone a libertarian.  The best one I've seen so far is

http://www.politicalcompass.org is the best one I've found so far. I come out as slightly towards the right on the economic scale, and slightly towards libertarianism on the social scale (my views on abortion keep me from being a full-blown right-libertarian).

Any other good sites?

Thanks Beef. Great website.

I am a Libertarian Left according to the website.

On economics, I am almost in the center.

No thanks.  That ing thing calls me a liberal (-3,-4).

This one is faulty.

weird though, angus = ghandi ?

actually, my red dot is very near nelson mandela, the Dalai Lama, and ghandi (but never on my forehead).

using the self-gov test and interpolating, I should be something like a (+6,-10) which I believe is truer.  In any case I'd have figured myself to be all the way at the bottom of the vertical scale, but closer to the right on the horizontal scale.  This thing puts Jacques Chirac to my right on the horizontal scale!  No kidding, it apparently hasn't been sufficiently beta-tested.

Okay, I demand that anyone posting here on this thread put their score down forthwith.  It cannot possibly be more humiliating that mine.  

also, note how no one falls in the southeast quadrant of their graph.  Really, isn't there some intrinsic logic problem they haven't identified here?

Oh, come on Angus, you're just disappointed in being more Liberal than you thought, don't take it out on the test. Cheesy

And, yes, I'm gonna rub it in now. Wink

And my results are generally embarrassing, I always turn out very close to the center, not at all the libertarian I often wish I was. Wink

On Angus test I got Centrist, on the brink of libertarian.

Your Personal Self-Government Score is 70%.
Your Economic Self-Government Score is 60%.

okay, I'm 100%/80%, essentially right-wing of the libertarian party, very far left wing in the GOP.  Not sure how I'd compare to the average Democrat, since I try to avoid crowds of any more than about 3 at at time.

Well, you're to my right on economy and to my left on social issues then. I am not really that surprised.

which is a tacit agreement that the compass test is faulty, because it doesn't bear that out.

I got Left Liberal,

I donīt like a 5 question quiz. Itīs too simplistic. By the way, I got Left Liberal there.

In the Political Compass, which I find pretty good, I got something like -5,5 in social matters and 0 in the economy. Right next to the Dalai Lama...

lol

there are not enough questions to have a good opinion.

For me:

Your Personal Self-Government Score is 50%.
Your Economic Self-Government Score is 0%

I'm not a socialist! I'm a social democrat!

on the mini test

Personal Self Government 50%
Economic Self Government 40%

When you say South-East quadrant, are you talking about for political compass, because I was in the South-East area of that grid, just, i was like 1,-1.
