The 2 bottom corners, far left and far right Libertarian, are the spots for Anarchists. Just so you know.

The far left is more taking care of people, the far right more lone wolf. But neither wants government involved telling them what to do.

I would think I am more anarchistic.
The test is not accurate for me as it is framed in the context of what I believe is system which is wrong.
ie we don't need money, scarcety is artificial.
choosing between government and corporations is irrational
generosity when forced on us isn't generosity and somewhat missing the point as when its forced on us those doing the forcing are not contributing themselves.

Michael Tellingers idea of ubuntu makes more sense to me than the questions in the test.

I'm not sure I'm making sense. I am not the most articulate of people.

When I first took it, I thought I was conservative.

remembering a quote from Winston Churchill, who i never totally supported, BTW:
"... if you are twenty and not liberal, you don't have a heart — if you are forty and not conservative, you don't have a brain..."

in this regard, at 67, i might call myself a "progressive conservative" ;)

however, no survey is totally accurate, e.g. this one is still stuck in the Materialistic Capitalism vs Communism paradigm. IOW Capitalism and Communism are the Heads and Tails of the common coin of Materialism.

there is a saying in India: "capitalism makes man a beggar — communism make the beggar a beast!"

the questions, themselves are biased. for instance, in the first series, it presumes the inevitability of global centralized economy, when decentralized economy of ownership and production is the key counter-balance to inevitable global and eventual trans-planetary centralization of political and military power. also without basic ethics/morality and decentralized economic democracy, IMHO, there will never be a stable political democracy.

i lean towards including a spiritual (not religious) bottom line, which is covered by PROUT (PROgressive Utilization Theory) @ <prout.info>
