The questions don't properly address ideology as much as a pragmatic stance based on far more subjective data (how you percieve the present condition of your government/state).

you can't really compare your score with nelson mandella or ghandi unless they live next door and experience the same circumstances as you (that is if they actually took this test)-

That's ok, I don't know anything about half the crap their talking about anyway. :)

"Making peace with the establishment is an important sign of maturity."

What do people think of that statement? Loaded?

"The establishment" differs depending on where you live. For example someone with views similar to a liberal American Democrat might find it easier to "make peace" with Chretien's canadian regime compared to the current Republican administration in the US.

I too wished for 'neutral' on a couple of questions, specifically marijuana, and homosexual adoption. I have no bias towards either side, and wish to leave it up to the parties affected by such to work the problem out themselves.

There were also many loaded questions, canted towards the left though. However, I'd say my results are pretty accurate, save for I feel that I'm a bit more conservative than the results.

exactly. these questions that fail to qualify the givens (eg: the establishment in this case) kinda blow.

Specificity would make this test far more accurate. "Is it important to make peace with the US gov't" for example, or "given a post industrial economy do you think a free market will naturally result in the optimum distribution of commodities?"
