Find Out Where You Are on the Political Spectrum

I found this interesting online test called The Political Matrix that asks you a number of questions about your economic and social beliefs and then tells you where your views place you on the political spectrum. It's not exact, of course, but I've taken these sorts of tests before and this is one of the best ones. Check it out here!

My scores:
+6.32 economic score (economically capitalist)
+4.87 social score (socially moderately authoritarian)

"Economic score: +9.29
Social score: -3.48
Your score pegs you as economically extremely capitalist and socially moderately libertarian."

I don't like how they place euthanasia and abortion under social actions. They are encroachment plain and simple, and under libertarian principles encroachment is about the only government action that should be regulated.

Extremely capitalist and socially centrist

Tough questions. I've been rethinking the death penalty lately(to against). Also, some of the tariff and free-trade issues get confusing.
