I would say that's pretty useless. The quiz is far too biased.

Look at the first statement.

Someone who chooses to marry should marry a different-sex partner of the same ethnic group.

How do you answer that? There are two statements there. I can't agree with heterosexual marriage without making a statement against race-mixing.

Anyway ...

Here’s another political philosophy quiz

i took it. terrible phrasing on some of the questions (as thundarian already mentioned) which caused me to answer in the neutral. questions are very leading-- obviously skewed by the designers political views.
anyway...

economic leftist 56% vs 44%.
social liberal 66%
civil libertarian 92%
anti-statist 63%
anti-militarist 92%

I retook mine a few weeks ago and turns out I'm libertarian right.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Spekr yet. In my opinion, Spekr is more accurate in that you get a lot more detailed questions with a wider range of answers. When I took that test a few weeks ago, my results came out as minarchist (not ancap, don't believe in anarchism sorry).

On Spekr: While it feels more accurate as a whole, there's a few questions that come off as a little wonky since they include possibly contrary things and other questions think libertarian responses are right wing.

Anyway... Economic -55, Cultural -95. Not as far deep into the left as am on political compass, but considerably more libertarian.

Nice.

Perhaps accurate wasn't really the right word. I meant that to me at least, Spekr seems to be a bit more unbiased and focused on other issues as well not just social ones.
