I'm a little surprised at how high the Greens did, but then I did tend to use the custom answer option a bit so that may have skewed it.

Likewise, as True Federalist said. The results may also be skewed somewhat by the questions never touching on the issues where I am most radical (cooperativization, workplace democracy, global federalism, animal rights, new constitution, etc.).
