Slight conservative lean on economic issues (I believe in regulated capitalism), liberal on social issues (I'm against religion and criminalizing victimless activities), I think I'd be best classed as a "moderate libertarian".

I think I see a pattern.

Free thinkers will vary widely on the economic scale but uniformly tend toward libertarian rather than authoritarian on the social scale. I've not seen anyone who's above the horizontal line.

It is interesting. I hope more people wander by and take the test because it seems this pattern may be very telling of where many atheists and skeptical theists lie on the political scale.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan

I for one hate politics, but it was a fun test none-the-less, and I love quizes.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

Indeed, that does appear to be the case. However it is also true that the majority of freethinkers are to the left of the economic scale.

The results posted in the first thread about politicalcompass seems to confirm this.

Sadly yes Smile However it's much better a similarity than having the majority also right-wing but being authoritarian.
