I posted that other quiz a while ago, and it can be relatively accurate if one can see past its slant towards libertarianism (it's on a libertarian site). That test calls me a centrist.

This is hilarious. My latest rating is "Liberal/Conservative".
It gives the descriptions of both and they are completely contradictory, wrongly making it look like I'm some kind of moderate.
I'm a free-market liberal. The test just doesn't look at dimensions of ideology. Oh well.

This test, as JavaBlack noted, overly emphasizes fiscal issues:

Liberal: 3 25.0%
Conservative: 7 58.3%
Socialist: 2 16.7%

My two "socialist" (i.e. liberal socialist) answers were on the only two non-fiscal questions.

Default wrong classifications

Liberal: 1 10.0
Conservative: 7 70.0
Socialist: 2 20.0

I suppose that's accurate, but their definitions are all screwy. My answers were not liberal, conservative or socialist, but consistently libertarian.
