That's almost exactly where I was! Except I was exactly on the horizontal line.

which means I came out slightly right of the Greens which doesn't seem at all right (as it were).
Yeah, something must be wrong with the test.
I couldn't be further from Stalin.

Dentie your one is very near the centre for Authoritarian/Libertarian so that really makes you middle - you almost certainly have both qualities or just take the middle ground on most things.
I bet Stalin was well Authoritarian!
but you're definitely coming out as left - is that correct?

The thing is, my opinions are always rather extreme, not middle grounded. And I'm so not a lefty.
I have *some* left opinions, but they're a minority.
I also support a right party here.

I think so.
Maybe it was late, and I checked all the wrong boxes!

or dentie, maybe you are extreme, but sometimes you're extreme in thinking people should act/be treated in an authoritarian way and sometimes you will fight for people's rights to live their life as they want....but the left, well I don't know - perhaps you are supporting the wrong party!!

Haha, no. When a party represents everything you support, it's not the wrong one.
I don't really believe a silly test can prove what side you're on accurately actually, the questions are stereotypical. Anyway, I'm not a lefty, and if I have to prove it, I will!

Now how are you going do to that?
I thought the questions were actually pretty good. There was only 1 or 2 that I felt I had to hit something that wasn't quite right.
The other thing was whether to put agree or very much agree. I put the very much when I felt strongly. That's the only other place I can see you may have got left instead of ...is it far right????????
I don't think it is at all accurate in that if you land in a particular section you are like Ghandi or Stalin or whatever, but I do still suspect that it does give correct categories to most people with left/right and authoritarian/libertarian.
Not to worry, I will not think you left at all!!
