The previous one inspired me to look for a really good one. I haven't taken it yet, but here it is. Note that it is very long.
PoliticsForum Quiz v2.0 (http://www.orgburo.com/pofoquiz/pofo.php - broken link)

I'll post my results when I take it.

That was a really long test. I don't like the second result since regardless of whether a religion(s) are superstitions or not, they still have no place in politics.

To a person that isn't too interested in political science, my results would seem contradictory when they really aren't.

Libertarian Marxism is a school of Marxism that takes a far less authoritarian, or in many cases anti-authoritarian view of Marxist theory than conventional currents of Marxism-Leninism such as Stalinism, Maoism, and Trotskyism. The current also has a generally less reformist view than do social democrats. It is often based upon a reading of Marx's work, such as the Grundrisse and The Civil War in France, that emphasizes the ability of the working class to forge its own destiny without the need for a revolutionary party or state to mediate or aid its liberation.

Quote:
Council communism (occasionally referred to as Council Marxism) is a far-left[citation needed] movement originating in Germany and the Netherlands in the 1920s.
The core principle of council communism is that the government and the economy should be managed by workers' councils composed of delegates elected at workplaces and recallable at any moment. As such, council communists oppose state-run authoritarian "State socialism"/"State capitalism". They also oppose the idea of a "revolutionary party", since council communists believe that a revolution led by a party will necessarily produce a party dictatorship. Council communists support a worker's democracy, which they want to produce through a federation of workers' councils. Council communism (and other types of "anti-authoritarian and Anti-leninist Marxism" such as Autonomism) are by some viewed as being similar to Anarchism[citation needed] because they criticize Leninist ideologies for being authoritarian and reject the idea of a vanguard party.

My results are guaranteed to raise many (uninformed) questions.

This one was better for me, though there were still questions without an appropriate option for my beliefs.

Wow, nice find. This is definitely different (and more detailed) from the others I've taken. I may have found a new forum to add to my "lurker" list.

Damn I exited out of the screen but I was split down the middle on almost everything and it said I was an uncategorizable materialist.
