So I noticed that you became more authoritarian (a somewhat inflammatory term; did a libertarian design this quiz?) over the past two years. Any commentary on how this came about?

Wow — makes me seem like the near perfect centrist I always dreamed of becoming.

Jer, I'd chalk it up to learning more about my faith.

I wonder how I would have scored when I was 16. I'd guess Economic -7, Social near 0.

I was really hoping to be more authoritarian than this. They need more questions about how important monarchs are.

These quizzes are fascinating.

On the second one, I got:
Left/Right: +0.5071
Idealism/Pragmatism: -1.8941

My results, on their graph, appear dangerously close to Josef Stalin!
