[Dartz]

So, I guess I'm an outlier, since here's mine: Economic Left/Right: 1.38, Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 4.00.

However, some of the questions are problematic. For example, "Land shouldn't be a commodity to be bought and sold." Agreeing with this likely fits one more to the left-wing, as opposed to right-wing free market support. However, what about someone who agrees because they believe land should be entailed? I don't see how supporting hereditary aristocracy can be considered left-wing. In general, most of these tests that equate the "right" with support for free markets thus fail to distingush between left-wing anti-market postions and reactionary anti-market postions.

It's an old test that's been lurking for a decade or more.

The Analysis page does a better job of explaining things.

With reference to the UK

I'm not sure whether I'm surprised at where the world's political parties concentrate on this chart, or not.
