This is the first time i have taken this test, and i gotta say, its a good bit of fun. However, some of the questions need a bit of clarifying. For example, Should religious principles be taught in schools.... Well, my opinion of this is that religion and spirituality is not necessarily the same thing. Many religious principles do not appear to be spiritual in any way. A spiritual person might not believe in god. I consider myself spiritual, yet do not feel connected with any particular religion, nor believe in a god external from myself, nor one that is seperate from any other existing soul. I also believe that morals do not have anything to do with your own spirituality (which is the primary role of religion), but a form of social construct that determines what a person does in a particular situation, unfortunately, these morals are given a religion tag to ensure obeysance as a persons spirit is arguably the most personal and intimate thing about them..........
See what I mean. Politics is complicated and a simple statement cant give an agree/disagree answer without an '... in these circumstances' flowing in the minds...
Results are of no surprise thou... Most artists like to express them selves, and us proggers like to hear those expressions and would not like them to be repressed in any way. It gives us something to talk about.
Keep smilin'

I'd say it's pretty acurate although I'd put myself more right economically

What about some blessed soul with a lot of time to make the partial charts of our thinkings? 
I read some of the previous tests and the great majority in the PA goes more to Left-Libertarian. 
But the exact average only checking each test individually...

My two latest results:
Economic Left/Right: -9.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.62
Economic Left/Right: -9.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -9.54
Which makes my best result being
Economic Left/Right: -9.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -9.54
Which I think expresses my beliefs pretty well.
Some of the questions seem to put the anarchistic standpoint against
the communistic standpoint, which gives us socialistic anarchists some
trouble, and since most questions only reflects real life
examples and are not of a more philosophical kind, I think this test is
a bit flawed (as all tests), it's still good, though.

Good one!!
Reminds me when Chirac actually dead seriously told journalists that just because he was physically standing on the right of Bill Clinton did not make him Attila The Hun!
I thought Clinton was about to roll on the ground in laughter
Moments such as those actually make me realize that politics are also humans

let's just stay above the moral melee

keep our sand-castle virtues

prefer lifting our pen
