There were only a few times that I responded with "strongly agree" or "strongly disagree".
really? thats the exact opposite of me. i rarely use anything but "Strongly agree/disagree"
The further to the left or right you are (or to the libertarian and populist wings), the more you answer with strongly agree/disagree, generally. A score of +10 means you strongly agree with all of the conservative answers, +5 means you agree (on average) with all of the conservative answers, +0 means it's even, and so on.
I rarely answer with anything but strongly agree/disagree, yet I'm always fairly centrist.
In fact there have been times when I get a more extremist score with answering only agree/disagree, though not in this test I just made:
