Common Sense Political Spectrum Test
There are many sites that offer some variation on a "political spectrum test." Most are pretty basic and can probably roughly gauge one's political position, right or left. The more Libertarian-minded tests wisely indicate degrees of authoritarianism or dogmatism as an important consideration in appraising one's position on a spectrum / axis. Some political spectrum "tests" are rather skewed to where any stance right of center is defaulted to the fascist category -- of course, anything left of center is warm and fuzzy and overwhelming in a general character of overall goodness (the Left's superior human being assumption).
I've devised a simpler, and I believe more common sense approach, to the political spectrum idea:
COMMON SENSE POLITICAL SPECTRUM TEST
* Do you favor a more powerful, more centralized government authority and more laws and regulations over fellow citizen's lives?
Test Result :
If you answered Yes to the test's only question, you are one of those people who favor a more powerful, more centralized government authority and more laws and regulations over fellow citizen's lives.
Now you know what should have been obvious to anyone who's aware of the political stance of a control freak -- "right" or "left."
