Yeah, I noticed. LOL.
I have to say there should have been an option "I couldn't care less" for every question. With a lot of question I felt forced to take a side while I really didn't care or didn't have an opinion.

Funny I don't even describe myself as a Socialist or Communist I'm more of a left leaning Libertarian. I would support a national health care system if it worked and was decent. My political self-description: I don't give a shit what you do just leave me and others alone and smoke up! Plus I believe software is over priced and you should pirate it.

Dead center of the right economic scale, and just above the center on the libertarian social scale.
That is not a half bad site. I didn't have much of a chance to look it over, but I read a few things and it seems very straight forward and unbiased (something way to hard to find these days). It gives some very good basics of what it means to hold certian social and economic viewspoints. It has a pretty heavty European slant to it, which lollygags it a bit for US politics, but also has the advantage of putting it all into a more universal perspective.

I really like that. Whenever people talk politics it always seems like theres such a USA-oriented perspective to things, so its nice to see somethat thats largely neutral in loyalties to everything including nationality, and I think it also puts US politics in perspective with the rest of the world by this comparison.

Yes because as we all know, all software is written by multimillionaires and doesn't take months or years to develop.

Here's my results. Granted some of the questions I didn't have a strong opinion on and others I wasn't sure quite what they were asking. I think what put me slightly in the "Authoritarian" camp was mainly the fact that I'm opposed to abortion for reasons other than the mother's health. I tend to prefer that the government stay out of our business otherwise.

Well it certainly doesn't bother the makers of open source software to give their stuff away for free. I ain't paying over $50 for any software. Usually you can find a better open source alternative.

That's a pretty useful list sean, thanks! Just goes to show you don't have to do illegal things to get free stuff.

I think ferris is closer to Obama/Edwards and lordjedi is close to Clinton.
I have to say, ferris, lordjedi and Darth Chaltab, you guys are much closer to the Democrats than you are to the Republicans. Pretty close to John Kerry also as far as I can see from the other graph.
Btw, does the "state-imposed collectivism" mean I'm a commie?

Sounds like someone didn't get a result he wanted.
Seriously the test is just for fun.
