well, here's a surprise. 
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
Wouldn't you rather have a nice cup of tea?
About the same as DamonX.

I'm so digusted with the political system (BOTH sides) that I can't call myself anything and sleep at night.

If anyone calls me a communist I will beat him over the head with a cricket bat until he retracts his statement.
Looks like we're in for a nasty spell of wether.

You don't have to call yourself anything, just be you. This test has absolutely nothing to do with the political parties, both of which are right-wing and authoritarian. There are no sides any more.

The way some of the questions are phrased can lead you to give an answer that is not a true reflection of your actual stance. For ecample:
The question, A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system.
I strongly agreed with that statement because it is true. But that is not to say I in any way wish to live under a dictatorship or think one would be preferable to democracy.
There were a couple of others that I thought were true but not necessarily right

I agree and despite that I had to try and here was where I ended up:

I agreed with that one, too. My wife is Chinese and the progress on some fronts in that country during the 30 years we've been together has been phenomenal. Building new transit systems and other infrastructure with minimal fussing, fighting and red tape. At the same time, the fussing, fighting, and red tape here is a mark of how our multi-party, free speech culture works. Our system wouldn't work there (the Chinese are much more unified and civic-minded than we are and don't fuss much about giving up rights for communal security, e.g. during the Covid crisis many Chinese-Canadians who returned from China before Canada did anything voluntarily quarantined themselves) but theirs wouldn't work here, either.

I've looked at the various posts and have given this some thought, result: I don't fit anywhere on this compass. The reason: I don't like the human race.
personally, i prefer cats.
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

But that particular question: A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system.
...a one-party state is the arch-enemy to democracy in my opinion.

In many countries being gay is a crime, and even in modern societies, politicians try to legalise discrimination. Your voice can make a difference. Have a look at All Out to find out how.

This is probably a thread unto itself, but that raises the question of whether a democratic system is really the "best" in an absolute sense, or only best for a particular culture in a particular time and place. I am not convinced you could ever have a system like the US system in China, for instance. More likely, a democratic China would resemble Singapore, with there still being a fairly strong, centralized administration even if people had more say in the choosing that administration. They also don't view individual rights as we do. They recognize that the individual is sometimes served best by a strong, cohesive society rather than as an island unto themselves. They are also very much concerned with order and the kind of disorder and rancour you see in many Western countries these days is very much not what most Chinese want (even some here in the West like my wife).
Example from the Covid crisis:
Long before our government actually started quarantining travellers coming from China, Chinese people were actually quarantining themselves when they came back with support from their communities. When the government told them it was unnecessary, they were offended. They believed they were doing what was best for Canada, that the country mattered more than their "freedom".
The upshot is that I no longer advocate a Western-style democracy for China. They need to find what works for them culturally and do that. If the current system that is largely the work of Deng Xiaopeng and his successors is working for most of them, we need to live and work with that, not try to change it.

You make a very good point and I agree. The USA and other western powers too often have butted in to other countries' affairs in the effort to establish a western style democracy, when those cultures were not and are not ready for such, and aren't suited for western democracy.
We certainly should've avoided the Vietnam War, the recent Iraq War, and others. Those were very costly mistakes. The stupid Iraq War left a dangerously militant, and volatile region destabilized, and much worse off than it was before. And much more dangerous for the world in general. Let other cultures sort it out for themselves.
The enormous amount of money such wars cost would've been much better spent improving infrastructure at home, public education, and public healthcare.
I would love to see China establish a democracy, but it would need to be their unique democracy. And I think you're right, it would more resemble Singapore.

That does not entirely surprise me. Lush is a fairly liberal/progressive bunch for the most part. so would skew left. In terms of the Authoritarian-Libertarian scale, skewing to the Libertarian end makes sense. Most authoritarian types of the left or right tend to be anti-porn and not exactly sex-positive. I'm a bit surprised we don't see some right-wing libertarian types but maybe those members aren't visiting this thread.

I have much doubt of the relevance for the chosen questions (stated as they are)
to the many different cultures of 195 existing countries.
However, the testing seems to be accurate, even rather correct, in relating my political und social preferences.
I feel a more correct plot for me ist (0.50, -0.50) from origin on the scatter-plot graph.
I like some things Liberalism stands for, but I dislike all that two-faced, Liberal Socialism or Marxism ignorantly protest.
I like some things Conservative Patriotism honors, but I dislike all Conservative hypocrisy und arrogance of Nationalism.
I dislike everything about the political Moon-Cult of Sharia Law und their terrorism.
The extreme of these political groups act out immorality und self-importance with no more contribution to humanity
than a gaggle standing in an open field participating in the biggest dick-waving-prick-fight you've ever seen,
impressing no one but themselves.
So I'm much a middle road, und I will never allow anyone to force their extremism on my life or my family,...not again.
This ist why I'm so very fond of the greatest American President George Washington.
He was of such great character that he had no need for a middle name anyway...smiles
My best hope for a future ist if we could simply take the best from all political groups,...
und take the worst out behind the wood shed...smiles
My beliefs und practices are abit more supporting of a Republic society, than of a Democracy.
However, both government/social systems have their own place in most every other free Republic who has
cloned the U.S. Constitution,
...both exhibiting great potential for moral good as well self-important abuse.

That is a problematic question. I had an issue with that one as well. The statement is true, yet the reasoning behind it is nothing I would ever feel comfortable with. I think I posted it as disagree.
I'm not surprised we are mostly in the bottom half. Seems par for the course on a sex stories site. I am surprised that we are pretty much all in the green square though.
Although like admitting to watching FOX news, the people that generally go right wing are embarrassed to admit it.
Understandable since right wing views are either based on ignorance or selfishness right?
