I got a -3.38
and a -2.10.
What the heck does that mean? All the rest of you seem to have 6's or 8's. Help!
Did you not Strongly agree or diagree with much?
I've taken it twice now. I'm about -1, +2.

'm not sure what you thought about how right-leaning the US is compared to the rest of the world, but does it surprise you, as a conservative, to see Clinton and Edwards and Obama right up there in the conservative right quadrant?
I think the test is faulty.
My brother is more conservative than I am (like, a lot) and according to the test, he is less conservative than Hilary Clinton. That just doesn't make sense.
I don't know how they skew the results (or questions) to make them comparable to the rest of the world.
I am surprised that all those people ended up in the first quadrant. But my reaction is not "What is wrong with those people?", my reaction is "What is wrong with that test?"

political conservatives in this country may not really be political conservatives.
Then what is really being politically conservative?
view that the only way for people to do the right thing is if their government tells them what to do.
I sorta hold this view, just not extremely. I just don't have faith in the people, if you know what I mean.
this accounts for the issues you see in the test.
Thanks, that did help.
