Where are you in the Political Spectrum?

For many people, where they are on the political spectrum is both simple and complex. They will say "I'm a Republican (or Democrat), 'cause my Daddy was," and that's the end of the story. However, if you probe their political views, they come to a realization that they don't agree completely with their party affiliation, and qualify their answer with those differences - "Well I'm a Democrat, but I think small business owners should be able to set aside part of their money for retirement and not pay into Social Security, and I think people should have guns in their houses without the government intruding on that right," - for example.
If one points out that those views are at odds with that of the Democratic Party, they may hedge and say that they are more of a centrist, a nebulous population with no real meaning other than the vast amount of people who are not radical to the left or right.
For many people, there are no alternatives to this linear thinking - Left to Right on a scale of some sorts. While they know that things in the political arena are more complicated than that, they have no real way of placing themselves - until now.
There is a fourfold map now in circulation that more accurately defines the differences between the major parties, and is capable of assigning a respondent a place in the political spectrum. Take a simple, 10 question quiz and see where you are in the spectrum at http://www.self-gov.org/quiz.html
You may be surprised about yourself, but more likely feel empowered to know where you stand in the political universe.
