My result:

This is obviously a left wing biased quiz. No way am I on the left lol

No matter how many times I've taken the quiz, I always get lean left. I do think I've become less libertarian though.

Mine is not bad but I think if they asked more questions about my economic views I would've been more like minus 6-8 libertarian instead of minus 4

I've done this test before on this exact site, but here goes again:



And I agree that the site leans liberal. The statements to define if you're right/authoritarian are more unreasonable than those of the left/libertarian.

These spectrums are always weird. If I am not mistaken the ole concept was developed by Libertarians who aim to make people realize how people in general tend to lean libertarian.

Left vs Right is also such a muddled concept anymore, particularly in the US where there are cultural expectations with both that largely ignore their original political function. For example, I consider myself conservative, but if you talked with me most would label me as a leftist because I don’t believe in anti-choice, am pro diversity, pro sexual freedom, pro LGBT, pro labor reform, and pro gun regulations. Those are all considered leftist ideals. But at my core I like stability and don’t like radical change, but rather sensible reform. I like the status quo and rather patch up what needs fixing rather than overhauling entire systems. Thus at my core I am conservative.

I'd say there's a good argument to describe you as center left, I presume there's some things on that list you're not totally satisfied with like guns and abortion laws and would tweak them leftward (and I'm guessing some other things like healthcare?). So not 100% status quo, but more in favor of it than the "US is rotted to the core due to evil of capitalism and systemic racism" people.

Obviously though there is multiple axis that makes it more complicated

Liberal vs illiberal
Progressive vs conservative
Socialist vs capitalist

I'd describe the the West as liberal/capitalist, so it's valid to believe in conserving that ideal.

Personally I believe in liberty more much more than conservatism, if this was the 1980s and the conservatives were the ones promoting religious illiberalism, I would not be aligning with them as much as in current environment where it feels like illiberalism is coming from the left. That's also why I can't get as behind the Republicans fear mongering over gr00ming due to isolated incidents of drag queens reading to kids or pornographic books, that's the old prude style starting to make a comeback.

I doubt that shocks anyone. Though there were a few questions that I wish they had a "Meh" option for.

That’s fair. If we’re to label myself it would a conservative liberal. I fully believe in liberalism, but also think most Americans would too if the word didn’t have the cultural baggage that comes with it.

neither agree/ disagree should be an option to smoothen out some answers, and yeah, the way of questioning is kind of weak too. But generally, this position on the axis seems accurate for me.
