Free Political Test!:
Ok, it is no better than a Parlor Game, but it is somewhat interesting
I have seen over the past couple decades attempts to flesh out the old Left vs Right political spectrum of 18th Century France. There is a web site that does a kind of Myers-Briggs test to determine your political colors in two dimensions.
It is flawed; the creator is definitely NOT a political scientist. One of the more blatant screwups is that the economic spectrum gets the Left/Right designation while the social spectrum is a Authoritarian/Libertarian designation. Yet, an example of the extreme Right pole is labeled Libertarianism and the Libertarian pole is Anarchists.
And what about politics vis-a-vis political evolution vs "fall from grace", or pacifism vs militarism, or social justice vs law of the jungle, or, well, you get the point.
But for IQ/personality/anything test geeks like me, it is a mildly interesting trivia break.
I scored -1.07 and -1.98.
That only proves my point ...

I retook the test after realizing that a lot of the questions are equivocal at best. So I answered strictly on Strongly basis only. Hard Core. Yes or No. Black or White.
I am much happier.
Eco at 2.75; Social at -1.13
