Better than most of these political "tests" but still simplistic in some regards. I was 61.1% right and 30.6 communitarian.

No surprises - I'm in between Bill Clinton and Barack Obama on the left right scale and more liberal than both.

Left-liberalism (Social Liberalism): Individuals in this quadrant seek to uphold individual liberty while taxing the market to provide social benefits for those in need. They tend to see themselves as seeking balance between individual liberty and social justice, and to be in favor of multiculturalism, secular government, and international cooperation. While they are typically skeptical of state involvement in social affairs, they nevertheless see a legitimate role for the state in combating discrimination and ensuring equal treatment.

Your political coordinates are:

30.6% Left, 13.9% Liberal

All things considered I am not surprised.

27.8% Right, 55.6% Communitarian

Right-communitarianism (Conservatism): Individuals in this quadrant seek to retain the traditional social and economic order and to uphold the sovereignty of the state. They tend to see themselves as the defenders of what their forebears would have wanted, favoring strict immigration laws, traditional values, and a strong military. While they typically see a role for the state in matters of national security and culture, they tend to be more skeptical of state involvement in the economy.

5.6% Right, completely in the middle between Communitarian and Liberal

30.6 Left; 27.8 Communitarian. I'm slightly more liberal to the left than Clinton (but not nearly so much as Obama), and I'm less of a communitarian than either Reagan or G.W.
And of the five names they plotted (and the Plan B netizens who admitted to their scores), I get a quadrant all to myself.

Me too: 44.4% Left, 50.0% Liberal...Just about smack dab in the middle of the blue quadrant

Your political coordinates are:

66.7% Left, 86.1% Liberal

Not really sure what they're measuring; for probably half the questions my actual answer was "it depends."

Curious, they gave no examples of anyone in the 'green' quadrant.

case with all of these tests for me.

That's usually the case with all of these tests for me.

I know, right? Especially since the brief policy description reflects most mainstream social-democrat or socialist parties. I would have probably put myself in this category based on the description alone, rather than being almost all the way at the other end of their liberal-communitarian axis:

Left-communitarianism (Social Democracy): Individuals in this quadrant seek to promote communal solutions to both social and economic problems. They tend to see themselves as supporting a mode of government that curbs the excesses of capitalism and diminishes inequality by virtue of a mixed economy and a universal welfare state. They seek to encourage collective solutions, economic redistribution and shared values throughout society by means of participatory democracy and the state.

19.5% x 19.5%

Per the chart, Milton Friedman was the MOST liberal? It must bias the Libertarian aspects of Liberalism more heavily*. But that isn't surprising since that part is the easiest to quantify.

* Perhaps I should that that portion of Liberalism which Libertarians have re-labeled.
