Firstly, I acknowledge the faults of the quiz and that our intent shouldn't be to take it so concretely. I mean, many statements are of questionable validity and the quiz itself is hardly comprehensive. Let alone the fact that some issues overlap, making the 2-dimensional graph somewhat useless - e.g. some green conservatives may vouch for environmental regulations on businesses

Having said that, I must say that I'm a bit surprised to find myself so far left-leaning on the economic axis. There were several questions where I was either indifferent or torn and struggled to provide an answer and simply settled for an agree or a disagree and may have caused a slight shift to either side - apparently more of them to the left than those to the right.

Typically, I would consider myself only slightly left of centre on economic issues (perhaps nearer to Dtewi or Farmland). Not near as far as what these results would indicate... I know, I know... Don't let the quiz tell me where I stand politically... I'm just curious if many others felt that their results were noticably off the mark?

I felt the same way, I'm definitely right wing of the german social democratic party, which I'm a member of, but most of the questions didn't give you the possibility to differ much. Too much black and white, too less grey shades, but hey it's just a quiz in the end. It can never clear up between things that would be right and can be done. That's why I wanted to discuss some if not in the long run all questions to see, what others in specific thought of the single meanings.
