Well apparently I'm still some kind of anarchist, according to an as-yet unedited numerical categorisation of complex social and philosophical views with a very restricted range. Of course one has to take into account that one must provide an answer for each statement even if one is actually undecided on the issue, as well as the fact that some of said statements will make assumptions which cannot be weighed as any kind of objective truth.

In other words I'm even more inclined to think this whole thing is bollocks than I used to.

The fact that you can objectively measure just how little you believed in it two years ago compared to now is impressive.

Meh, finally bothered to do one of these. I didn't really have an opinion on many of those questions... needs a neutral option.

I wonder how legitimately one can say "No opinion" to the questions that are being asked. I don't know how they could make the quiz any more vague.

"I'd always support my country" is a question of the concept of patriotism rather than asking you about yours in specific.
"There is a worrying fusion of info and entertainment" is vague except to the people who apparently have been affected by it.
"Inflation > unemployment in importance" can be thought of as a 50/50 issue.
"Free market, free people" does not click well with people who feel the government still have a foothold in peoples' rights despite the market's status.
"Eye for an eye" has a place, therefore is situational and can go both ways.
Chilrdren keeping secrets probably doesn't have any kind of impact on a guy who doesn't have, and probably doesn't want, a mini-him running around the house.
Just as discipline being the first lesson is neither significant nor applicable given how many appraoches there are to parenthood.
Abstract art may not make sense to one but if it affects another, more power to them. That kind of person needs an agree to disagree kind of option.
The astrology question is, naturally, pointless.

Aside from those specific examples (and not even in my case in specific), I agree that an opinion should be had on questions even if just for the principle of the idea. Ead could probably add a couple more to the list without just being called lazy for lack of thought into the question.

Lol ya, I'm quite the moderate. Naturally I think anyone any significant distance from the center in any direction is insane.

I guess I should clarify that as... neutral in the sense that some questions are loaded. For instance, you might agree with a statement in circumstance and disagree with it in other circumstances. It's kind of silly to have to say you either only agree or disagree with it. The questions that have "always" in them kind of avoid this but even then I'm not sure if they have the proper effect.

Edit: Basically what Kikori said.

Yeah I had no idea how my left/right position would turn out, especially since my care-factor for politics is so very low. Still, I thought I'd give it a shot for fun. I wasn't really surprised by the Social Libertarian/Authoritarian result though.

Aw darn I didn't take this two years ago. Oh well, I'll take it now.

Dang that's way closer to center than I figured it would turn out.

Hmm, turns out I am Libertarian-Left, somewhere around Ghandi's place. Weird though, because I am actually right, liberal, but still right and more to authoritarian. Somewhere near Angela Merkel, Obama and Romney would be my place I guess.

I'm not surprised where I am at, I assumed I'd end up in that quadrant, maybe not so far into it though.
