Lafiel said: @ ElRhodeo ) Hehe nice to see ,that the second german to take the test is even more libertarian than me. I was a little bit worried about that ,because I clearly am not anarchistic , for I think regulations are very important in some areas. But my strong disagree with regulations of sexual life and surveillance of the population might have made me seem that way to the test and that, like many germans, I have a problem with patriotism/nationalism might be the second reason.

Honestly, I think that the average result of our country would be somewhere in the bottom left quarter. Many of these questions are absolute no brainers over here, like Onna76 stated for the Netherlands as well.

Why on earth should sexual orientation / preferences be anybodies business? Then take our economic system, the "soziale Marktwirtschaft" - though it's not pure capitalism, even the conservative parties mostly support it. Military is another topic where Europe has a very different view from, say, the USA. Maybe it's because the last 2 World Wars took place in our countries, but people tend to be far more reluctant here. And, like you said, those 2 wars have definitely changed our perception of what a nation, a "race", a country is.

Just like you, I'm far from being anarchist. I think the key term here is "freedom" and how you define it: Freedom of economy or individual freedom? To me, the emphasis is on the latter.

This is mine:

A few questions I had difficulties with as I didn't really understand the meaning of it, but questions which are offending to every kind of human right have been answered "strongly".

Continental europeans and Scandinavians are in general FAR more leftist (and less conservative) than Americans (USAnians), so I find Entropers results pretty "uplifting" :). Are there more like you over there? :D

In our last election the conservative/liberals won, but in reality it all boils down to traditional swedish realpolitik.

No one would or could go to election and hope to win more than a few votes with a program with the weight on issues like abortion, homo weddings, arms regulations. Those questions are in general so marginalized that they are seldom discussed.

When those issues gets lots of attention in election campaigns or in the supreme court I sometimes think that Washington and Qum are closer related than Washington and Stockholm.

Economic Left/Right: -3.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.38

I think this compass is fairly accurate. Thanks for the link

By the way I voted for labor at the Federal Australian elections. Go Rudd :)

mine was:-

Economic Left/Right: -4.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 3.54

You might like to know that the wording of some of the questions in that political test makes the results pretty biased. It's rare for anyone to be over the 30 percentile in authoritarianism without actually trying. And, without wanting to join chuch and state, it's also pretty hard to end up in the right.

 wasnt really hard for me actually =P

Yeah.. I'm near Ghandi too! =)
