It's a test that instead of just a vague "left-right" or "liberal-conservative" dichotomy uses your stance on both economic and social issues to place you on a 2D map instead of a mere line with 2 ends.
Last one is my result. You can post yours if you wanna.

I'm one right and one down from you so just a bit more libertarian and a tiny bit more centrist. I'm not all that surprised, I would guess social libertarian would be the closest label to my political beliefs. I have a deep seated distrust of the state so like limiting their power as much as is feasible but I also recognize the importance of collective action as we become an increasingly globally connected, its just too easy for a few rich people to destroy hundred to millions of lives pursuing their greed.
Just took it. Odd how I fell almost perfectly center. Most of the time people say centrists are just those who don't care or are pulled by others political positions. But I have unwavering stances on about everything. I just happen to disagree with both political stances in the US right now.
I've always been purple, though I used to be further right in the purple then I am now.
That said, a bunch of the questions the way they're phrased doesn't make sense to me, since it presumes trade offs between economic freedom and societal value I may not agree exist.
I've taken it many times. I'm always in the lower middle of the green.
That one map that showed where modern politicians are is wayyy off. I don't like Trump or Rubio but they aren't all the way up there to the far right... And Bernie isn't a fucking centrist... He needs to be close to the bottom left.
That test is very obviously biased as hell. I quit doing it on the second page. Someone who writes questions like that isn't knowledgeable enough about it to be making a test like that.
