Most political quizzes are a waste of time. I was referred to the one above by a friend who said it was much better than most he'd encountered, so I did it. The results were pretty accurate. The only problem I have is the meter at the bottom where you rate the intensity of each answer you give. There were also a few of the questions I had a problem clearly answering.
For example, the quiz states in question #8, "Sċhool science classes should teach intelligent design." It then asks for you to strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree, strongly agree, with the statement. The problem is if the state is running schools, I don't want "intelligent" design taught in a biology classroom. However, if schooling was left totally up to the market, I don't care what the curriculum for any particular school is. I simply answered the question assuming it related to public schools and chose "strongly disagree." It's questions like these that make most political quizzes garbage. But I must admit that this one was not as bad as most, like my friend told me.

I agree. People embrace these political tests because they're convenient. The problem is that few realize the limitations of these tests, like any product.
One problem with this type of quiz, is that once you've done enough of them, you start answering the questions in a way to get a specific result and thus always get that result.
I believe the biggest problem is that these quizzes is that the questions are very leading. They make assumptions that I, for one, cannot make. Many of them require me to assume that government not only exists now but that it should exist. I quit this test about halfway through the last time I tried it.
