cosmopolitan Social Democrat
Not sure how I’m only 72% secular. I couldn’t be more secular. How does one reach a perfect score of 100%.
I am a (moderate) cosmopolitan Social Democrat. That category includes 14% of test-takers but much more than 14% of Dopers, as we see.
Being able to emphasize an issue seemed a good feature of the test. I’ve not seen this before.
Some of the questions are phrased so generally as to be ambiguous, e.g.
“An obligatory referendum needs to be carried out for every demand by the population.”
“The resources have to be managed by society.”
(One could argue that “society” is the market place in a free-market system. If they meant “government” they should have said so.)
I didn’t notice the weighting thing last time, so I retook the test and got this:
You are a patriotic Social Democrat. 2 percent of the test participators are in the same category and 65 percent are more extremist than you.
Nationalistic 12%
Secular 18%
Visionary 13%
Anarchistic 23%
Communistic 23%
Militaristic 42%
Anthropocentric 50%
Pretty much the same result, but appears Indigo Montoya is indeed most mellow. I humbly relinquish the crown. 
However, Qin Shi Huangdi has a challenger for “most militaristic,” so there’s that. 
Another Cosmopolitan Social Democrat.
“You are a cosmopolitan Social Democrat. 14 percent of the test participators are in the same category and 58 percent are more extremist than you.”
Cosmopilitan - 17%
Secular - 54%
Visionary - 29%
Anarchistic - 33%
Communistic - 28%
Pacifist - 7%
Anthropocentric - 27%
Huh - I’m surprised that it weighted me so heavily toward communistic and anthropocentric.
Still filling out the test. I’m taking the long version. I’m stuck on this question:
“It would be good for the public authorities to pay their debts no longer.”
I have no clue what this is asking. I’m going with neutral.

Hmmm, neo liberal Democrat here. Whatever that means. (5% and 48%)

It placed me somewhere on the anarchistic capitalistic cosmopolitan section of the space. Not a huge surprise.
Just as with that question, I went neutral on several other questions that perplexed me. I honestly don’t know what that means either.
I took it again this time with weighting (missed it the first time). Not a whole lot different, just more extreme:
You are a social democratic Cosmopolitan. 15 percent of the test participators are in the same category and 14 percent are more extremist than you.
cosmopolitan 53%
secular 94%

I think it turns you into an extremist. This morning I ran through the test before going to work and didn’t choose “weighted” for anything, and I came out with some fairly low numbers, and I’m sure over 60% were more extremist than me. I just took it again, and I “weighted” three items (government “silencing” critics and a couple of other things I am so passionate about that I have already forgotten them), and now:
You are a cosmopolitan Social Democrat. 14 percent of the test participators are in the same category and 31 percent are more extremist than you.
Cosmopolitan 28%
Secular 55%
Visionary 33%
Anarchistic 43%

“You are a democratic National Liberal. 3 percent of the test participators are in the same category and 62 percent are more extremist than you.”
Huh.
Actually, I have no party. I’m not religious, I have a lot of guns, I support gay rights, I’m fiscally conservative, I’m pro-choice, and I’m small-government.
Liberatarican?
Apparently I’m a National Democratic Socialist. I don’t know what that means, but it’s pretty close to the center of their chart. I don’t see how those questions determine anything about a person’s political profile, except for the mindless sort who echo sound bites without comprehension. And I don’t even know what this statement means, “It would be good for the public authorities to pay their debts no longer.”
There are way too many questions of the “when did you stop beating your wife?” variety, and too many vague and ambiguous ones.
Example: “A nation should potentially be allowed to use military means to secure access to natural resources.” Whose natural resources? The ones on government-owned property in their own nation? Natural resources in other nations? Natural resources on privately-owned land in their own nation?
Or: “Religious education should be a compulsory subject at all schools.” Are they talking about religious history and comparative religion (yeah, that should be compulsory), or public schools teaching the belief system of a specific religion as objective fact (no, that should be forbidden)?
Or: “The infrastructure works best, if the responsibility lies with competing undertakings.” What does that even mean?
I think I answered “neutral” on fully half of the questions. It thinks I’m a cosmopolitan, secular, visionary, anarchistic, capitalistic, militaristic, anthropocentric liberal. Hmmm.
Liberal Cosmopolitan
Whatever the fuck that means.

I thought that I’d be more on the nationalistic side than on the cosmopolitan one, but right now I don’t really remember which questions dealt with this. Also I question how the test designers oppose “anthropocentric” and “ecological”; I consider myself very much pro-environment but it certainly doesn’t show here. What I believe is that the test was done in Europe, and Europeans tend to be more strongly in favour of animal rights than North Americans. To me this isn’t really a “green” issue.
I’m also more militaristic than I’d have expected, as well as somewhat more communistic. I know what side of this issue I stand on, but I thought I’d be closer to the centre.
You are a cosmopolitan Social Democrat . 14 percent of the test participators are in the same category and 28 percent are more extremist than you.
I am only 70% secular; that doesn’t make sense. Secularism, as described in this little quiz, is the fundament of my ethics.
These comments all fully apply to me as well. I’m quite “green” yet showed as “anthropocentric” despite that I advocated human rights for chimps, or whatever that question was. To consider someone anti-ecology for animal testing seems silly: instead a strongly pro-ecology person should be also willing to do human testing to improve animal welfare! 
It might be a fun SDMB thread to collectively design a questionaire for political positioning. (We couldn’t do as poor a job as this one.)
