There where a couple of questions that I had more than one possible answer for. I tried both ways and I got different results. Interesting that even when I get .0.5 on the "Moral Order" with system as "Liberalism" I still get " 60.1% were to your left on the chart."

I managed -1.5 on the Moral Order axis and -3.5 on the Moral Rules axis.

It also had these comments on best matches...

System: Liberalism
Variation: Moderate Liberalism
Ideologies: Capital Democratism
US Parties: Democratic Party
Presidents: Bill Clinton (93.37%)

I'm not entirely sure how it came up with these, as there were several questions where I had to go for the 'least unpleasant' answer (e.g., should work reward the best, or the hard worker, or care for the worker... well, how about all of them?)... but given the definitions it uses, I would agree with the categorisation: guess I'm still a little way off centrism <g>

Socialism blends NonConformance with Interdependence.
Authoritarianism blends Conformance with Interdependence.
Conservatism blends Conformance with Independence.
Liberalism blends NonConformance with Independence.

Fun site. I was also interested by its political maps - although I think they underestimate the collectivist attitude of much of the British Lib-Dem party, which is what I dislike about them...

Here is another one.

politics.beasts.org

Axis Position
1 left/right +2.1861 (+0.1316)
2 pragmatism +3.3006 (+0.1987)

I'm a little surprised that I was so far to the pragmatic side in the test. I expected to be closer to balance between pragmatism and idealism. OTOH the fact that the test shows me leaning to the right is no surprise.
