When I took it, pretty much the entire last page was just repeats of questions from other pages worded a bit differently. Maybe they want to make sure you're not selecting answers at random

Or trying to remove bias that may be based on questions' exact wording.

I took the second test and I went further to the left

Axis Position
1 left/right -8.4310 (-0.5075)
2 pragmatism +1.3938 (+0.0839)

Link to my results. I guess I'm a leftist utilitarian (I learned a new word today!) - after reading the Wiki entry on Utilitarianism, I must say that it does describe a part of me quite well.

The other test is far more likely, as the first one just dumps everyone in the liberal green zone.

As it can be seen, my ideals are sort of idealistic liberalism--something the other test did not really reveal, as it just went 'Well, you're Gandhi' which is sort of extreme, as compared to Gandhi, well, you guessed it--I'm far more violent than him. :p

I very much enjoy this newer one. Though a few of the questions do irk me slightly, it is easily countered with the 'no opinion' option.
