Political Typology Quiz

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

I clock in as a "libertarian" even though I am not a libertarian, so the typology sucks in my opinion. And a lot of the questions were way over the top Manichean; in my world, what I see are a lot of shades of gray, along with the blacks and the whites.

I agree, the questions force you into a position where you might have a different one to the options.
