Best "Political Quiz" site?

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.

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

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.

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.

Libertarian.  8.12 econ and -2.21 social.

deep in the SE quadrant (8,-2)  okay, we have one.

actually this would be my childhood notion of a prototypical republican.

Why is that? Republicans are generally social conservatives.

I was a child from 1967 to 1985.  I suppose it wasn't till the early eighties that this shift had completed.  I think your generational socialization would affect your perceptions.  Also, one's filters affect these perceptions.  We really don't hear much about how very socially conservative many of the key Democrat demographic groups are, but you hear quite a bit about how socially conservative some key Republican demographics are, in the major news sources in this society.  (Even to the point that the 'right wing' of the GOP is usually referring, oddly, to the authoritarian wing.  RWN is the only one, as far as I can tell, who correctly uses 'right wing' in his name to mean 'I'm a tightwad.')  I imagine scandanavian news sources play about the same.

Certainly the liberal/conservative and authoritarian/libertarian alignments are weird at this moment, in this society.  We have skirted around this issue in past conversations.  This is a part of the reason for misuse of certain terms in american english, I think.  

OK, I'm with your reasoning now, but I'm not sure whether I actually agree.
