The test is a bit long, but the results are interesting: http://www.politicalcompass.org/test

I'm not hugely surprised where I appear.
As I recall somewhere by gandhi

I know.
I gave some questions the benefit of the doubt.

Oh gawd, and my soft spot melded together years ago.....
me & ghandi.. we're as one maaan!
Daughter is fairly sure she'll be sitting side by side with Stalin 
I am making her do it now!
We did this test years ago when I was taking Politics Alevel. I got about the same result then, I'd be more Libertarian if it wasn't for all those pesky questions about controlling mutlinationals and how they can't be trusted!!
Daughter was in the red bit.. not quite Stalin.. (the sex questions saved her from that).. but still in the red zone!
I have sent her to sit on the Mugabe step!!

Blimey I am close to Ghandi.. .and on the left too... 
I thought I'd be slightly right of centre..
mind you I didn't understand some of the questions that used big words so just guessed my answer depending on what I thought the question meant. .and I also wanted a few 'don't know' options for some of the others.. ..
I like that I'm in the same bit as Nelson Mandela, The Dalai Lama and Ghandi 
But not as much as I like the fact that very little separates Hitler and Thatcher

Me...
I can't BELIEVE how similar we all are! Despite our bickerings on here,(sometimes! 
) I think we have mostly the same views. A lot are coming up 'left of centre.. The questions were fascinating. This is brilliant.. thanks so much for sharing this Peter: I am going share it with my friends and family today.
I bet you everyone is left of centre when asked, or declare. On individual matters even the most libertarian would seem like Pol Pot! I haven't done the test

below and to the right - not too close, but will try again
Lol, bet none of them ever took such a test.
Too busy opressing, invading and ruling probably
Or being opressed, invaded and ruled over

Yup! Even Mugabe still stands under a Socialist Banner. Imagine that!
Economic Left/Right: -6.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.74
Very thought provoking - I want to do it again with some absurd responses
What have I done wrong? 
I don't like being in the red, I'm beside the Pope for crying out loud, I don't share his beliefs. I think I didn't understand the questions
