If you're like me you understand how inadequate the Left-Right political spectrum is, and you've seen how the political parties in America are excluding more and more citizens with their extremism. This bulletin board was originally formed to join P2P enthusiasts together, and despite this one commonality we're all over the place when it comes to politics and it is way too easy to stereotype each member as either a rightie or a leftie in order to ignore or dismiss their reasoning. Some of us are more guilty than others on that score.
The political spectrum is not a straight line. For example a man might be considered a moderate if he supports the death penalty as well as abortion rights while an other man might also be considered a moderate if he opposes the death penalty and abortion rights. Ideally the political spectrum would actually be defined in
n-dimensional space, but it's easier just to define it using two broadly-defined dimensions: economic liberty and personal liberty.
That's basically what this test does, and not surprisingly, most people fit somewhere between the four extremes. Here's where I fall on the chart:
