I'm a Centrist
At least that's what the test says. I find it funny that I swing slightly totalitarian & socialist, and that I'm similar to John Kerry and The Pope. Bizarre.

I think there is too much bias in the questions.

JRoe,
What's your email address these days? I need to send a question or two your way.
Thanks,

It says I'm a Libertarian... somewhere between The Donald and Adam Sandler. Great.
Politically, they claim I'm one of those "undecided" voters (half red/ half blue). Boy are they wrong. You know how they have those big levers in the booth you pull to vote by party? Well, I want one that votes the party line for the next 10 elections.

Said i was a Democrat - Socialist. Had me near Gorbachev. I guess that makes sense, cause I own Macs. (But it gets more complicated when Macs = a Macintosh and a Makarov.)
I'm "liberal" on some issues, "conservative" on others. (Don't like abortion or the death penalty. Although...that's just being consistent. Bad example.)
Political, like social grouping is too simplistic and ignores complicated, individual nuances. Wait...what do i care about what a dating website says about my political leanings....

Those questions are ridiculous. They pretty define the phrase "loaded question." I refuse to even answer them.

yow, looks like Kerry, Redford and I would get along pretty well. Still a centrist, though.

I turn out to be socially liberal and economically moderate. A Democrat. (Suck on that, Hamdems: I'm one of you.)
The only one of these immensely pointless questions I felt strongly about, however, was "Most people are too stupid to know what's good for them." I'm sure the test-makers assume this means I think governmental regulators are somehow exempt.
But no: I'm just a misanthrope. People are foolish, society is getting worse, and we're all going to die.
I think this would make a splendid campaign pitch.
