Some of the questions though are a bit... erm... open to interpretation. I wouldn't treat it as anything more than a bit of entertainment.

Seriously, I'm a pretty authoritarian person - just in a liberal way ;)
Might have been my answers on education/sex.

Do people in American territories (like f ex Costa Rica) get American citizenship automatically, or would they be considered immigrants?

Also, about that chart - this is what I got:

And I am fairly certain most liberals here would consider me a bit on the more authoritarian side, or at least close to the middle. So I would call that test pretty biased. For me, personally, I noticed several questions that were just too simplistic and catering to stereotyped opinions that most people who actually hold similar opinions would disagree with if only because the answer isn't all that simple; as well as several points phrased in an "all-or-nothing" kind of way which I had to disagree with simply because their black-and-white attitude.

"Our race has many superior qualities, compared with other races."

What does it mean with this? Race as in "white" or race as in "human"?
(RPGs make me believe it's the latter >.>)

It gets particularly stupid if one does not believe in races the way Americans does, or in any meaningful way.

I guess that means I'll vote for Kony too.

I'm not sure why I am a libertarian according to this thing. I "Strongly agreed" with all business surveillance related questions...

Because according to them, business regulation = left-wing and personal freedom = libertarian. Which is kind-of true, I suppose, but I still don't like the test. There are questions where I agree or don't agree with the statement, but I know what they are going to assume from my agreement or disagreement that doesn't actually agree with my political views.

It's because the test has a fairly clear agenda (IE it's set up to make politicians look authoritarian and literally every person taking it look libertarian).
