Without going through another of these things, I can pretty much tell you exactly where I stand. A funny man and magician recently (within the last year) quoted someone else on political views (forget who) and the quote goes something like "One should be left socially and on the right fiscally". (I forget what the original subject was as I believe I had read it a long time ago.) If one were to plot that, it should be at (0, -10) on the graph. I'm not going to say I'm there, but I'm pretty close.

As far as the validity of the test... it looks like every other psycho- social evaluation. It's true-false only. The questions go from almost indifferent in responses to nearly extremist (to the point of bigotry). I'm not even going to go into the validity of the test because, well, A) I'm not a psychologist, and B) it's a pop-quiz just like you'd see in a variety of magazines or you'd expect to give a bunch of high school kids in their government class. That doesn't invalidate it, but does leave questions to its accuracy.

I'm sure some of my answers were based on different reasons for agreement or disagreement than the makes of the questions expect and that's probably true of others, which probably skews the results. But I'm looking at this thread as more of a fun thing than serious.
