Interesting political quiz

Here is an interesting political quiz
politicalcompass
It can be completed in under 5 minutes, and places you on a two-axis scale that makes more sense to me than the usual left to right line. For what it's worth, I score near the middle on both axes.

Hence, "Man in the Middle".

Update: A state rep who sometimes reads this blog just suggested another quiz, called "Useful Voter Guide: Are You A Democrat Or A Republican?" That quiz says I'm a "Middle of the Road Independent", but try it for yourself here.

Update2: Two years later, just after reading F. A. Hayek's brilliant 1946 classic "The Road to Serfdom", I retook this test, and find I'm now still smack in the middle between conservatives and progressives (Hayek reminded me that neither is entitled to the term "liberal"), and measurably more Libertarian and less Authoritarian than before. If you read only one book in the next decade, Hayek's would be a great choice.

Also, the Middledaughter (in law), with whom I regularly enjoy disagreeing politically, just took the same test, and scored exactly the same as me on both axes. We were both surprised, and feel sure that although on average we agree completely, that we couldn't have answered all the questions the same way.
