    Can you also list the questions and your answers to each of them?

    Edit: Didn't realize there were so many questions ... nevermind!

    I hate the way most of these things phrase their questions: "[blank] is always [blank]", things like that. Way too nebulous to answer truthfully with the limited choices available.

    I was surprised at that. I thought mine would come out more libertarian than left.

    Oh, well. Fun way to kill time.

    Some of the questions are stupid. They have no bearing at all on one's position on either axis being determined.

    For instance, "Abstract art that doesn't represent anything shouldn't be considered art at all." is an aesthetic choice. Using it to determine whether one is liberal or conservative conflates actual tendencies with how one self-identifies. Asking it actually obfuscates the question at hand.

    FWIW:
