I just wish I knew what that all means.
The writer assigned terms (somewhat inappropriately I think) to different scores in the five different areas. Actually, this wasn't a long quiz, I bet it's easy to sort out the questions by category. Lemmi see if I can do it quick.

Collectivism
The government always has the right to impose taxes on people
Private corporations would be better at delivering services than government agencies
Welfare and similar programs are not worth the money
The culture of dependancy on the government has created an entire class of useless people
A society is judged by how it treats it's most vulnerable citizens
Income inequality harms our society

Authoritarian
Terrorist propaganda, incitements to violence or other violent hate speech should NOT be protected free speech
People should be allowed private ownership of heavy weapons to defend themselves from the government
The government always has the right to dictate what people can and cannot do
Whether you agree with a war or not, it is your duty to support the armed forces
Government interference does more harm than good
The smaller the government is, the better

Internationalism
Dangerous ideologies that threaten our nation and our values should be fought across the globe, not just at home
Our nation should eliminate all foreign aid and spend that money on other things
Our nation should never intervene in civil wars or rebellions, let them take care of their own problems
The United Nations is a completely useless organization and it's not worth being a member
Our country should never join a currency union like the Euro
There should be a single worldwide government

Tribalism
My country is inherently better than other countries
We should just nuke our enemies, it's a waste of time to try and deal with them
Racial profiling is never a legitimate law enforcement tactic
Some nations are poor because of their culture or values
Immigration has a generally positive effect on my nation
Illegal immigrants should have a path to citizenship


Liberal
Euthanasia, abortion and suicide should all be legal
Hard drugs (eg. cocaine, heroin), should be legal
The moral decay of our society is a significant threat to our civilization
The decline of traditional families has caused more harm than good
Multiculturalism, religious pluralism and diversity are something we should strive for as a society
Our laws should be based on our religious beliefs and values like the 10 commandments


I suppose with most you don't know what they answered. Except for the people with 100% or -100% in something.
Yeah, some of those definitions are way off. :?

Seems liberal nearly got mixed up with conservative.

Think of the negatives and pluses as moving along the x-axis in a graph. If this were a simplistic graph, negatives would correlate with being more left wing, pluses would correlate with being right wing. Since this is a five dimensional compass, it follows that formula but with more that just left and right wing idealogies.
Note: you can skip answers if you don't know or don't want to answer, skipped answers count as "maybe".
Did anyone else interpret this as meaning, "Maybe answers are skipped?" Because I sure did. My friend called me "stupid." :(

Like was said, think of the negative percents as a continuum with 0 being "center." Positive percents are how much you lean in one direction (say liberal) while negative percents are the other (say conservative). So if 0 is "Absolute Moderate", points in either direction are the extremes to which you lean. The terms ... it seems like they just took the common "buzzwords" if you will and attached them to points on the political spectrum. Mostly it seems its just a bit of fun.

Can't do the quiz on thus connection, but I have to say I worry that anyone can score 100% on anything. Extremes of any kind are worrying.
