I have seen this chart before and I believe that it is, for the most part, accurate. Although I do believe that Ron Paul should be down a little bit more into the libertarian area, but besides that it looks alright. I have always said that Kucinich and Gravel were the only true "Left-Wingers" in this race. It's a shame that neither one of them could get any media support.

The chart as a whole should shift everyone to the left and down. I tried to test it and answered every question like an anarchist and it still barely put me in the bottom right quadrant.

I think it's bull. To say that Ron Paul is more of an Authoritarian than a Libertarian, and to say that the Democratic frontrunners are all pretty much centrists is bull. Mitt Romney is fairly conservative, but he isn't far out to the right, or an extreme authoritarian.

Didn't notice that, you're definitely right. It says the Democrats are far more libertarian than they really are.

I think it's highly inaccurate.
