In some thread I was prompted (challenged?) to find a quick, useful discriminator of political/social views.

Went to Google, this is first I found. I've got no agenda with it. It is a libertarian site so I suspect the questions are designed to make liberatrianism look good.

But we all walked in at an equal exposure to it took the 3 to 6 minutes, I assume were comfortable with the results & I just chewed on them a bit.

I think for a quick, painless process it helps reveal perspectives about the participants.

Really your just unhappy that your scores are so close to mine.
