These scores indicate that you are a very tough-minded moderate progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a liberated atheist. It appears that you are cynical towards religion, and have a suspicious and unsympathetic attitude towards humanity in general.
Your attitudes towards economics appear laissez-faire capitalist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as libertarian.

These scores indicate that you are a moderate progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a university professor. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a pragmatic attitude towards humanity in general.
Your attitudes towards economics appear capitalist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a political centrist.
To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, an idealist with very few strong opinions.
I'm disturbed about where they got the religious bit. While I am skeptical about how religions are run (especially in how they intersect with politics) I have no issue with religions in general

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a centrist with few strong opinions.[Yeah, that's me alright, Mr. Few Strong Opinions...]
I "disagreed strongly" with: "Religious beliefs of all kinds are just superstitions." and "agreed strongly" with : "This universe was undoubtedly created by God. " and yet I get, "you are skeptical towards religion"
Here was my favorite question:
" People should have faith in what they believe."
Well, uh, yeah, that would sort of follow....
It's funny, just about everyone of these "ideology tests" I have seen over the years seems to be heavily weighted towards declaring the person who took the test a "Libertarian"....
I get the impression that Libertarians like to put these tests up on the web as a sort of recruiting tool....To try and get more people to self identify as "Libertarians"...

I do wish we had some royalty in our country to complain of. Can't object to the results since they are based on research!

Here's my surprising (unsurprising) result:
Radicalism 99.5
Socialism 100
Tenderness 62.5
These scores indicate that you are a tender-minded progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with an animal rights activist. It appears that you are moderate towards religion, and have a balanced attitude towards humanity in general.
Your attitudes towards economics appear communist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as left-wing.
To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, an egalitarian with many strong opinions.
I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.
ETA:
The questions are obviously rather simple-minded and completely free of any nuance. Nevertheless, the result is probably more right than wrong.

I object to the use of the word libertarian, no effing way am I one of those people! As for having "few strong opinions," I'll let my posts speak for themselves. . . .

The last sentence of our profiles characterizes us both as "egalitarian with several/many strong opinions."
I always figured we were a lot more alike than different. Apparently, I just have more opinions than you.

Well Meade, since it characterized you as a clergyman and Sue as a communist, I guess it's not all wrong...
