Political Spectrum

I was browsing the blog roll and came across this entry over at Norbusiness which explains where the name comes from and also references a political spectrum analyzer. I answered as honestly as possible and ended up with this result:

I wonder how accurate the results are for non-American readers because I would have guessed (based on the descriptions) that I would have ended up on the authoritarian right (over near Gerhard Schrder rather than near the Pope). I also suspect that the center point on the scale is skewed for Americans because John Howard would be pretty close to dead center for Australian conditions ...

Followup: my wife also did the quiz and this is her results:

She is an obvious candidate for the next pope :-)

Why is there no-one in the bottom right quadrant. Surely there must be somebody down there. Maybe we could reverse engineer the test to get a score down in that quadrant.
