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. Angel

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.
