my guess us you may be more socially conservative than me, with I am more a fiscal conservative with a very liberal outlook on social issues.
I long supported the right for gay couples to marry and adopt.

I believe you use the rest room that matches your parts.

I am very pro Wall-street and if open borders increase productivity, I am for it, if not then I would be less inclined to support it, yet in cases of working people receiving amnesty, I would support it.

I never liked the tea party. Not universal health care either. My position on the military is tentative at best. There is a Nolan test, however it is also too confounded on specific variables.
I have never seen an online test that was very sophisticated.
Probably because it doesn't get the desired results and few would actually take it.

Agree

Again agree, with maybe what some construct, a slightly more liberal element.

I do not know about that? A test with 1000 random sampled questions would be better, although it would be outdated in a few years, unless it depicted one's underline political philosophy.

Recently I quit the rigged Republican party and became an independent with no affiliation to any party.

Based on you posting this, I would think you live in a cave by yourself and have never met another human being.

Some of the things in your post look like you are reading a purposefully overstated meme.

Too many of those questions do not have either/or answers.

I am Liberal on Social issues but somewhat Conservative on Financial ones.

The government should help those that are truly poor but having a bunch of children should NOT list you as "poor", you want to have 10 children? Fine, you pay for them, not the taxpayers.

If having two children place your income above the level for assistance then having ten shouldn't matter, and once collecting, having more children should NOT increase benefits.

I believe in a strong "Don't even think about f'n with us, or we will bury you" military force, and MOST citizens should serve in some capacity.

NO person should pay ZERO tax or get more back than they paid in.

Business Conservative.

However I think the questions were too polarized to extreme opposite spectrums, or at least not always accurate stereotypes.

There are not enough gray area options to determine if someone leans more moderate or Libertarian on some things.

I support programs to assist people when they are down.

I believe we should have universal health care.

I strongly support our second amendment rights.

I'm am pro-life.

I do not support the death penalty.

I support a strong military.

I do not support what our military is currently called to do.

I support enforcing our borders.

I believe many on Wall Street belong behind walls. Prison walls.

I supported the original Tea Parry.

I supported Occupy.

What am I?

(Relatively) Normal.

EXACTLY!

It's so bias and one sided. Nothing about Libertarians who now account for a large part of the populous.

I'm not sure about Occupy, but I pretty much agree with the rest.

I'd say we're true moderates, tired of the government+wall street+multi national corporate machine.

Occupy was against two out of three of those things and weren't real happy with the government being in bed with them.
