    From another Thread:
    During Presidential campaigns - there have been test - that take
    10-20 minutes - with at least 5 choices per item.
    Those tests give a much better view of yourself.

    Now this test - give 5 possible answers per question
    and asks you how important that policy is to you
    Click here for that test:

    Centerest - I urge you (and everyone to take this test

    Somehow I am an:
    "center-left moderate social authoritarian. Left: 2.51, Authoritarian: 2.45"

    Odd...

    Edit:

    Looking at this map I am in-line with West Virginia fairly well. West Virginia is Social Authoritarian (Extremely Socially Conservative) and Moderate Economically, which makes sense given the mountains of NC (where I am)/KY/VA/TN share practically the same Appalachian culture as West Virginia.

    . Many of the questions were loaded or too general to give any truthful answers.

    In another test else where I was 75% libertarian.

    I had the same issue with a few.

    For example, the one about states making a minimum wage. I think that is the states business (as opposed to a federal minimum wage). But I'm not sure that was what was meant.

    The poll stated I was “right”. I really didn’t to hear it from them, but it does show they are pretty smart.

    If everyone would acknowledge my answers are “right”, we could get a lot done for the good of the country.

    peace to you

    You are a center-left moderate social libertarian.
    Left: 2.82, Libertarian: 1.64

    upload_2022-11-28_3-52-54.jpeg

    Foreign Policy: On the left side are pacifists and anti-war activists. On the right side are those who want a strong military that intervenes around the world.
    You scored: -0.11

    upload_2022-11-28_3-55-23.jpeg
    Culture: Where are you in the culture war? On the liberal side, or the conservative side? This scale may apply more to the US than other countries.
    You scored: 2.44

    Hmmm. I dunno. I rushed through it, so I dunno how accurate it is.

    We are almost equally "left".

    There is, however, a 3pt spread between my authoritarian results and your libertarian results on the culture war side of things.
