I found another political quiz for everyone. It uses the same basic liberal/conservative and authoritarian/libertarian axes as the other test, but this one has more questions and does not have quite such a libertarian slant to the questions.
apparently I'm Tony Blair (with the small exception that I don't put baked beans on my breakfast)

The wording on this seems to not be very bias-free, either
The goal of a good statistical survey is not to use loaded words. This seems to use a lot.
I'm out to the right on the authoritarian/libertarian axis. I think if the questions would have been worded differently with less bias, I'd have moved down on the graph, some.

agreed...
none of their examples are in the fourth quadrant of the graph...
I certainly expected to be lower and more to the right.

Oh, I'm out to the right where I expected to be I think I was three blocks in (or maybe two) from the outside. I was just right on the axis of up and down.
I didn't try to get a shot of it because the test annoyed me with it's language
EDIT: BTW, George W Bush is NOT that far to the right. In fact, I'd put him much closer to the left right axis. He isn't a true conservative in much of anything but defense. In fact, a lot of things he stands for are to the left of JFKennedy (had to put the last name on to distance the initials from Kerry).
