Some "far-right" forum we are. Caviar anyone, comrades?

Оно как раз приехало от Сибирь.

Economic Left/Right: -5.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.23

The test is too simplistic and to show the result in a Cartesian coordinate system is not the best solution.

You don't have to upload it, we all just [img] link it.

Good that you noticed the filesize permissions though, I've increased them all now.

I guess it gives people a better idea. I had to specify my political beliefs as "traditional liberal" rather than "liberal", as today, the term "liberal" has been hijacked by the socialist/authoritarian left.

I've seen this test before, I think it is flawed in that it seems to bump you up towards the 'authoritarian' side for questions like 'do you like abstract art', and it doesn't have any questions related to guns, smoking, transfats, gasoline tax, and a number of other issues

I agree. It seems like there should be a handful of questions relating to gun ownership, self/home defense, eminent domain, and some other things like that.
