This test doesn't even have a "neither" option on the first question.

I quit answering because neither one was true for me for #1. I wonder what that says about me...

Tests go one way or the other. I was :/ because of the lacking idea of both...because of the spectrum of choice being a tad bit limited.

But its a nice general indicator.

haha i seriously have no idea of any of this because i have no experience with any of this

This test doesn't even have a "neither" option on the first question. What a load of bull.

When tests have neutral options they end up being most of what people pick. That's why it's poor design to include any non-choices.

I'm slightly surprised by my results, though in retrospect, I probably shouldn't be.

And indeed, they did tend to repeat questions - since the sets are given in pairs, Itnetlolor has the right of it in suggesting that it's to permit calibration of the results, but it's also done as a data validation check to see how strongly you felt about a preference towards one category or the other.  I ran through the PDF again to confirm it, and each answer pair is done three times (for instance, A/E is used for questions 1, 8, and 30).  I would have done it either two or four times, myself, so that a perfectly ambiguous or non-preferential answer set wouldn't skew the results one way or the other, but I can see why three iterations was used for tie-breakers explicitly to avoid that circumstance.

This stuff is based on American politics, but I wanted to share. A test like this should almost be mandatory for voters... or at least strongly encouraged while they're waiting in line or something.

I especially liked the reference material each question included, the optional expanded detail for answers, and the Support Map. A well executed test like this could help people understand their own politics, help them self-educate about political issues being debated, and teach them where the parties they support stand on those issues.

Also, apparently I only share 38% of my political beliefs with my state. Time to move, I guess!

...although I'm not very surprised at the results. (I'm slightly greener and less authoritarian than I thought.)

EDIT: The last question was a tough call because all the candidates were so bloody... American.

[i2amroy]

I always find those type of polls interesting because I'm not so much for any one "side" as I am just "opinionated". I agree with the hardcore rights on some topics and the hardcore lefts on others, with the anti-government people on some things and the pro-governments on others. I have literally been placed everywhere from the top left to the bottom right to the dead center depending on what and how many questions they ask.

Seems like this one was broad enough that their average put me almost dead center.

I didn't actually answer the presidential question. The fact that Arnold Schwarzenegger was on the list at all made my head spin. It's legally impossible for him to be in the running for the President of the United States! Why is he on the list? Grrrghllleeee... Anyways.

Forgot what this whole thread was about, popped in to check it out.
Saw, did.

Hah. And here I thought I was right wing.

[Dutchling]

I'm basically that but a little south to the Democrats instead of east.
Lots of questions I didn't care about obviously, with me not being an American and all that.

[Orange Wizard]

I also came up as Green party. I don't know what that means because American politics is weird.

Also, someone needs to make one of these for NZ.
