That's why i am doubting the veracity of the poll. There is no way that Skybird and I are that close politically.

The rich get richer
The poor get the picture
The bombs never hit you when you're down so low
Some got pollution
Some revolution
There must be some solution but I just don't know
The bosses want decisions
The workers need ambitions
There won't be no collisions whey they move so slow
Nothing ever happens
Nothing ever matters
No one ever tells me so what am I to know

The left-right scale is purely economical, and I had a feeling you’d fit there after you posted a meme criticising forced diversity by out-of-touch capitalists a few days ago.

It’s the up-down scale that measures stuff like freedom of speech, freedom of expression, right to bear arms, etc..

I’d guess that it’s possible to end up in the same quadrant as someone you disagree with. For example, two people have the same economic views, but one is pro-gun and anti-trans, while the other is anti-gun and pro-trans, then they have a similar balance of libertarian and authoritarian ideals, just applied to different areas.

Or maybe it is just broken, I’m just throwing out ideas

That test has been around for years the questions tend to be vague and it is very easy to skew your results. The results of that test will likely end up being used in a poll or academic study somewhere, and is the reason I'm skeptical of polls and data sets.

Since everyone else is in the lower/left quadrant, I figure I should bring a little diversity to the thread.

Most likely not with the exception of a high-school paper.

you would be surprised, both U.S. political parties use online surveys on a regular basis, and I'm sure the soft sciences do as well.

I kept expecting to see a statement like: "Evil corporations shouldn't set puppies on fire"

Nope.

That's pretty much where I expected to be. As for being leftists: I guess I can forgive the lot of you for that. At least I know you mean well.
