For those of you who have been in on the policitcal debates in these forums (and those who haven't) I just found this test that gives an interesting perspective on where you stand in the political spectrum on a host of issues.
Cool thing is the results are divided into 4 quadrants covering econmic and social views as opposed to just left and right. (This helps solve the age old comment I'm a fiscal republican but a social democrat) Much more revealing in my opinion.
The test is here

Economic Left/Right: -4.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.08
That puts me down by the Dali Lama and the Rev Al Sharpton (egads!).
