"Military action that defies international law is sometimes justified." is a stumper, because I dislike military actions of any sort, but I also understand that laws can be shit.
"People with serious inheritable disabilities should not be allowed to reproduce." While I agree with the SENTIMENT here, I think this should be voluntary. People should know that they possess "risky genes", and should be counseled to avoid reproduction until humanity possesses the capability to cheaply and reliably filter "risky genes". As a Type 1 Diabetic, I plan on NOT having children.
"Mothers may have careers, but their first duty is to be homemakers." I don't care which gender is at home, but there should be a parent in the house, raising the children. Mothers are more convenient for the role because boobs.
"Multinational companies are unethically exploiting the plant genetic resources of developing countries." Huh?
L/R 2.12 Not unexpected, moderate right. No doubt retaining my upbringing on this one.
A/L -5.95 Yeah, I tend to ID as "Libertarian" these days.

GMO copyright law changes the definition of agricultural exchange as intellectual property and jeopardizes the free market. Using seeds without permission will cost you your livelihood.
If your unfamilliar, study up on the subject. There are allot of false charges though, so don't get carried away and believe everything you read.

I consider myself socially and economically liberal. This test was a decent representation of that. This test was very well done, thanks for posting. I'm curious what the extremes are in the graph. I'm thinking -10 and 10.
Eco left/right -2.62
Social lib/auth -2.21
I guess I could label myself a social democrat.

Thanks for that. I did see those. I should have counted the boxes up and down and left to right. I would have arrived at -10 and 10. I just didn't think before I spoke in that sentence.
