I saw this on

another forum I read, thought it was interesting.

As you'd

expect from the name, its a four-point spectrum rather than just Left-Right. It uses L-R as the economic scale, and

"Authoritarian" and "Libertarian" as the north-south axis, indicating social beliefs.

I took the test and found

myself a lot closer to the center of both than I thought I'd be.
