I think the concepts behind your test are sound, but one important thing to consider if you plan on using it among mass audiences is the phenomenon of "acquiescence bias", ie people's propensity to agree with whatever reasonable-sounding statement is put before them. By having all the "agree" options correspond to the left end of the spectrum, this means that your test will probably overestimate left-wing sentiment. Scientific surveys usually cancel out this bias by having statements that go in either direction.
