I put a lot of neutrals in my responses.

40% Libertarian
33% Liberal
27% Socialist
27% Conservative

My score:

47% Libertarian
47% Liberal
47% Conservative
40% Socialist
That's a total of 181%

That's not how it works. The results just tell you how much of each group you agree with. So if you agree with 70% of conservatism and 40% of liberalism, then the results say so.

Now that people are more or less done replying to the thread, I guess it is time to post the test results. Here are the average results from all the people who took the test, for both the end results as well as for individual questions. I must say, the forum is considerably more conservative than I was expecting. Not that I see that as a bad thing

By the way, I upgraded my account for their site and am now working on a far more advanced version of this that will be considerably different and more advanced in it's execution. This was more of a proof of concept kinda thing, something I posted to see if people cared for this sort of thing. Don't know when I will post it though. Soon.

Times of all questions answered 105 (82%) Amount of partial assessments 23 (18%) Total amount of assessments 128
