    I'm extremely moderate (49% and 45% on the scales).

    Pretty much all question deal with US issues though, I didn't understand the whole 'voucher' system for education, supporting gun ownership would be rather radical in my country while it would be standard in the US, I think my country could spend more money on the military, but of course, I feel the US is just wasting tax money the way the military-industrial network works etc.

    You have to imagine being American to fill in this poll imho, and that in itself distorts the results

    Moderate Conservative. I got a low (20%) personal score, which suprised me, as I'm a libertarian kind of guy, but they seem to hold abortion as an 'imposing morality' when really its like "anti-murder" for me.

    The Lemur is a moderate, verging on both libertarian and liberal territory.

    Personal Score - 72%
    Economic Score - 52%

    As with everybody else, I quibble with some of their categorizations. But after all, it's just another silly web quiz.

    Just FYI, this quiz is an expanded version of Libertarian.org's "world's smallest political quiz", that has been around since 1997
    http://www.theadvocates.org/quiz.html
    note the similar score graphing and analysis.

    In those days, it was designed to show folks that they were Libertarian, but didn't know it (therefore, they ought to join up).

    I'm not slamming the quiz... it performs its function of stimulating conversation, and mapping out differences of opinion.

    However, as the non-US members here have pointed out, it's very US-oriented, and might only be useful for comparison in that context.

    And I'm just pointing out that it (the quiz) has a partisan history. Since we're all joining in the fun, here's mine on the 'old' quiz:
