I think this quiz may indicate that we're mostly moderates...or we're the extreme right which means that extreme left is way the fawk out there.
What would constitute a moderate in terms of results of this quiz? (honest question)

I disagree with this test at least as much as all the other political "tests" out there. Consider my results: 63.9% Right, 11.1% Liberal. It puts me dead center of a triangle between Reagan, B. Clinton and Milton Friedman. That leads me to believe the scale is more heavily weighted towards economics than social issues.
The reason being, I'm very fiscally conservative and generally dislike government intrusion in the free market. On the other hand, I'm very socially liberal and generally dislike government intrusion in people's individual lives. In other words, let your freak flag fly, so long as you don't use my money to do it!
So how is it I'm 64% right but only 11% liberal? Unless "liberal" is code for "support the expectations of others with my money?" If that's the case, then I understand completely. Sadly, that's usually what passes for liberalism these days.
So, I got to wondering if there was a more "in depth" quiz that could be found. I found one that is a little more in depth. Results were a bit different for me.
Here's the new site:
https://www.politicalcompass.org/test
My new results:
Your Political Compass
Economic Left/Right: -2.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.69
(a little left and a little down)
Old results:
38.9% Right, 30.6% Liberal
How does yours compare to the first one?
Seems to me, I may not be as far right as the first showed, but still to the right, but definitely somewhere on the liberal side.
