    I think that makes two of us in Q4. But no matter, I'm a neo-Keynesian and you're the first serious supporter of Hayek I've seen so far.

    We must be careful. While we will disagree often, we are also the closest thing to an ideological match we can hope for (or, at least, you're the closest thing to a match that I can hope for, you are closer to others than I). I believe our common ground is great.

    Funny how one person is in the quadrant where almost all our leaders are, I guess that our crap pile of a prime minister (Fredrik Reinfelt) is located in the lowe right quadrant though.

    Yes, interesting how religious people are always more authoritative.

    I actually scored more far more Authoritarian than I thought I would. I think it was the "Should people with serious inheritable disabilities not be able to reproduce?" That pushed me so far north.

    Yeah, that one is tough. Another one is "A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system."
    That a broken question. Of course its true, but that doesn't mean I support a one party state.

    Indeed. It's like saying asking if breaking multiple traffic laws and pulling out in front of people gets you to work faster. I would love to find a more extensive and well structured quiz.

    Its not too bad. They could fix it up a bit, and end up with a much better quiz.

    True. I can't really state it's quality in comparison to other quizes because this is the only political one I have ever taken.

    i think the biggest flaw in the quiz is that it makes all the difference wether you put "Strongly Agree" or just "Agree"

    it asks wiether you think abstract art is art. How does that affect your political standings?

    Austrian here as well, we are not alone.
    edit: Btw, I am not going to bother giving you the result the quiz gave me as it is a pretty terrible quiz (if it actually wants to take in the entire political spectrum) I am Far-right economic and socially progressive (libertarian). I believe in limiting government to only the protection of individuals against violence and coercion. The state should only be concerned with protecting my negative freedoms.

    All of these and more are answered in the FAQ in a way that I thought made a lot of sense.

    Aparently the FAQ says because Authoritarian regimes don't like abstract art your more Authoritarian for disliking it as well?

    That seems a bit of a stretch as I'm fine with actual art just not pieces of metal put together in random shapes or strange blobs. That's not art at all.

    The fact that you think you can decide what is and isn’t art shows that you have an authoritarian mindset.
