Here is my result from the other quiz. once again I thought it was biased around american problems so it made my ideology corrupted:

Your ideology was already corrupt! Don't blame the test!
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

That's pretty moderate. Two more questions and you might end up dead center.

I also propose that the quiz has a conservative bias - and that they are attempting to claim me for the right with their vapid and socially regressive questions.
I think the quiz has an american bias so I disagree with you. Some questions like 'Is one race superior' or 'Is the death penalty viable?' automatically will make an european more to the left when those questions are not even considered as legitimate for any politician in europe. I think the quiz makes you more left wing than what you are. It is a complete myth right wing is about racial superiority, even for far right parties (but this happens often), just like it is a myth right wing hates change, I personally like change as long as it's progressive and gradual, justified. But I got almost in the middle, only 2 square to the right on the libertarian side.
And many of the questions should have a neutral stance because I don't want to agree or disagree, some of them are not specific enough. Meh I think I'll start a thread to ask people what my political orientation is.
You might look and see if there is a European quiz. The concept of the double axis has been around for decades. --- Oh I see you did.

Exactly middle on the left/right scale, and closer to the bottom than the middle on the vertical axis. Which makes sense, since I figure I'm a classic liberal, or maybe moderate libertarian.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

I'm hoping we get a hardcore believer that scores somewhere roundabouts myself (and all others in that periphery). I don't know why, but I want to see that it's possible.
Dead center, no shit? You're a well rounded man, sir.

I looked up a european quiz but it wasn't very accurate. I'll make my own political thread according to what I value most in politics. Maybe I'll do it today in a few hours.
