Btw, I'm kinda surprised that no one here is more economically left than me. I wouldn't even consider myself a socialist.

I think it is a flaw in how they measure "equality" and "market." I consider myself to be a socialist, I want the workers to control the means of production and to federate as they had in Revolutionary Catalonia. I am anti-capitalist. But I get "centrist" because I am not against the use of markets/commodity exchange under specific conditions (the abolition of private property) and I don't support government (I am an anarchist.) 

That is just the flaw with these tests, they depend on a dichotomous thinking of government vs. markets, when an actual libertarian socialist is either against both, or sees markets as useful under certain conditions. 

Still they're useful if you don't want to think only in terms of "left" vs. "right."
