Does that surprize you? I'd bet a lot of folks are surprized to find out they're not what they think they are. I'm guessing a few folks will need time to come to terms with it.

Overall, the PoliticsForum quiz considers you an individually-orientated, materialist, small-government, nationalist, non-absolutist, kind of person. These characteristics would put you in the overall category of borderline nationalist. Your natural home at PoliticsForum would be the Nationalism area.
You scored 27 out of 100 on a scale of Individual vs Social. This means that politically you are less likely to value the need for group actions and group benefit over individual enterprise and benefit.
You scored 93 out of 100 on a scale of Theist vs Materialist. This means that politically you are more likely to believe that religion and spirituality are superstitions that should not inform political debate.
You scored 84 out of 100 on a scale of Big Government vs Small Government. This means that politically you are more likely to believe that government should keep out of legislating social policies, leaving such decisions to individuals.
You scored 34 out of 100 on a scale of Nationalist vs Internationalist. This means that politically you are less likely to favour international bodies over national ones.
You scored 48 out of 100 on a scale of Protectionist vs Free Trader. This means that politically you are neither more nor less likely to favour free trade over protectionist policies.
You scored 63 out of 100 on a scale of Absolutist vs Non Absolutist. This means that politically you are less likely to believe that there is an absolute truth that may guide your ideological beliefs.
You scored 44 out of 100 on a scale of Controlled Market vs Liberal Market. This means that politically you are neither more nor less likely to believe that there is need for government regulation of industry.
You scored 46 out of 100 on a scale of Marxist vs Non-Marxist. This means that politically you are neither more nor less likely to follow the philosophies of Marx.
So basically, I'm a self-centered atheist who is a little obsessed with the "American" label. Also, I see the Marxist results are confusing some.
My results said: You're a scurvy dog, a sleazy weasel, a sniveling ca-ca, a worthless cow-pattie, unworthy of the cow that died to make your stinking belt you running-dog jackal! WTH!!
[SIZE=4]Overall, the PoliticsForum quiz considers you a socially-orientated, small-government, protectionist, controlled-market kind of person, who also seems quite Marxist.[/SIZE]
There is more to Marx than political philosophy. Marx contributed to many fields from anthropology to literary criticism to sociology. His philosophy wasn't all political. So some of the concepts in the quiz were in fact pioneered by Marx, including ones that aren't political at all.
