I know that WTF will have a hard time believing this but on the Internet are several psychological analysis questionnaires that end up ranking you on the political spectrum using a graph, usually a circle or square divided into four quadrants.

Of course, the way such quizes are formed says as much about the quiz maker as the results say for the quiz taker. Questions like "Who would you rather kill, your mother or your father?" and there are only two boxes, Mother and Father. No option to say "Neither" if your real feelings are that you love and appreciate both of them.
The X axis is usually labeled "Left-Right", with Far Left on the left end and Far Right on the right end. The Y axis is labeled "Authoritarian-Libertarian", with pro gov being at the top and anti-gov spenders being on the bottom. I usually rank somewhere in the middle, slightly left of center on politics and slightly below center on gov. In other words, I am all in favor of giving someone a helping hand, for a time, not a permanent handout. And, I prefer that government minimize its presence in the day to day affairs of people and stop creating laws that make felonies of what used to be considered misdemeanors or annoyances. Sending a SWAT team to examine beer licenses or collect overdue book fines is too much government.

People can no longer disagree without being disagreeable. That's why I've deleted my accounts on all social and political web sites. A Russian psychologist predicted that by 2010 the US would disintegrate into five or six regions.
