Thanks for the link, Max!!
I answered 'em all except: "Sex and sin are two sides to the same coin" - a statement I simply didn't understand.

My results:

Economic Left/Right: -1.63
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -4.35

Here's another, similar-but-a-lot-shorter test (on my favorite libertarian radio talk show host's page):

Something tells me he would have at least one of the compass points on the positive side... (don't ask which). An attempt to redefine the word 'libertarian', perhaps?

I couldn't answer most of those questions, especially the one which groups farms and businesses together, but especially the ones that are "similar".

I suppose this means politics are about words and not about people?

(edit - Max and I are again "similar")

Ooooh, I'm in the same field (Left/Libertarian) as Gandhi! If the Dubya faction in DC ever finds out....

For more silly stuff, try the "tests" at http://www.emode.com; the "what's your TV family" is especially silly and worth about a 5 minute break from the daily grind.

"sex and sin, 2 sides of the same coin" - well, the one leads to the other, and the sin is sex. {shrug emoticon)

So not many Pluses amongst us? I'm on:-
Economy= -4.69; Authority= -6.07
right (or should I say left) alongside Tony Benn and Ken Livingstone.

I did find myself saying "It all depends on context; each case on its merits"; but I forced myself to answer each question (its only a game after all!).
