    Honestly, there were a few questions I didn't really have strong feelings for
    or against, and I was kind of "in the middle" on. With that said, I think it's generally on point and I don't think it's supposed to be an exact representation of ones political ideals.

    I do think there probably should have been a neutral option.

    I started taking the test then I saw it had 6 pages. And I'm like .. yeah.. This will have to wait. I guess I'm lazy but I'll do the survery a little later.. It might teach me some things about myself. :lol:

    Oh, I know. Yet with the atmosphere around here (which is certainly more liberal than I thought it was) they might not even want to take the test.

    I agree. There were a lot of things I didn't care either way on, so I just went ahead and chose disagree, so my test isn't very spot on.

    This is so confusing, in Australia Liberal is the right wing, and Labor is the left wing.

    Yeah. The United States is quite confusing when it comes to politics. That's why I try to stay out of it as much as I can, because I don't understand a lot of it.

    But yes, liberals in the United States are often the leftists. I think it comes from the saying "out in left field," as in people with radical ideas, which is often what liberals in the United States are.

    Yeah I get the whole left wing/right wing idea, but I just don't see how a word such a liberal can change it's meaning over different (english speaking) countries.

    Ah politics makes so little sense.

    A bit left, but that's basically from my religious and sexual views and stuff. But I generally consider myself a conservative.

    I'd say this is about right for me.

    Pretty accurate I'd say.

    EDIT: I'd have thought I'd be more left but it's my opinion that both sides have pros and cons so I think it's a decent balance I've got. I'm certainly a libertarian though.
