Additionally, any survey like that should ALWAYS have an odd number of responses. There should always be opposite but equivalent choices (ie, Strongly Agree vs Strongly Disagree), but there should also always be a "Neutral" option in the middle, which this survey lacked.
I have 350 pages spread out in five different books discussing excatly that question. In short: most of the times that is not optimal.
And to those saying its biased (which it is): See it as a way to place us in relation to eachother.
And lastly: Some of the questions wasn´t even politically. The first generation immigrant integration has nothing to do with how I think the world should be.
Here's another political quiz that has popped up here on AI a few times.
It's set up by the libertarians, but seems to make some sense:
libertarians = personal & economic self-government
liberals = personal self-government
conservatives = economic self-government
authoritarians = neither
[edit: heh "It's set up by the libertarians, but seems to make some sense" that was unintentional. But I guess it shows how I feel about libertarians.]
I've taken the political compass test a number of times. The libertarian score generally stays the same but the economic left/right score tends to wobble a bit. This is the furthest right I've scored to date. The furthest left I have scored was roughly a -2.
I couldn't finish the test...it's utter crap. There are a ton of throwaway questions designed to provoke a "primal" response in their respective right/left wingers.
