They brand the extreme social conservative a "fascist" and the extreme social liberal an "anarchist." The extreme economic conservative is a communist while the opposite is a neo-liberal...interesting.

I scored very close to the pope. IMO alot of the statements/questions are very ambiguous and open ended to sort of force an answer that they want you to give. One example is the statement about race which you can't say anything except disagree with any kind of confidence. The whole thing was filled with stuff like this and any results should be looked at the same way as having no real legs to stand on.
