this is obviously doing the rounds around Oz at the moment! I got it last week. I was a bit shocked at my scores.
I was negative 6.2 which almost made me extreme left wing (!) and I was pretty neutral on the other aspect

Bernie,
It was posted on the Sydney Morning Herald website. Almost everyone I know (almost entirely Australians) have been left of centre and libertarian. There is obviously no objective neutral point but I would guess that us Aussies are probably a bit more left wing and libertarian than some other societies and even some of the people I have jokingly called Fascists have come up under this questionnaire as moderate libertarians and lefties.
I am interested to see what the mostly US community of this site come through as. I know that cthree has a ban on political stuff on his site but I have seen a bunch of political stuff (see threads on Taiwan/China) here before and so long as it remains civil, I hope we'll be ok.

Right (3.88) and Libertarian (-3.77)
It was pretty much right on with my self assessment. Especially liked this description:
The usual understanding of anarchism as a left wing ideology does not take into account the neo-liberal "anarchism" championed by the likes of Ayn Rand , Milton Friedman and America's Libertarian Party, which couples law of the jungle right-wing economics with liberal positions on most social issues.
Cool test.
