This test is horrible! It's assuming your political leanings are based off (REALLY bad) stereotypes, and it's binary at that. Rubbish. It doesn't even ask you any political questions.

And for the record, I am a liberal (of the Elizabeth Warren vein).

The questions are pretty transparent It's liberal vs. conservative. If you got right-wing than you're likely conservative.

Mildly right-wing.

I agree with Hard, test sucks.

No. These are stereotypes and would not be consistent. Your political position is determined by your actual political views on policies, candidates, etc. and that is what political position is based on. Not some abstract metric that may or may not relate to politics. I have never voted for a conservative candidate in my life, and hold very few conservative views.

I admit that the questions with the monkey meat and the purple carrots are not very well chosen, but the rest seems ok to me. I wouldn't take it serious, though. The test only indicates your preferred way of living (individuality vs collectivism) and assumptions one's political views based on that.
You may be a little conservative in your lifestyle, but not in your political views.

Ok, this is a fair statement.

Damn monkey meat, keeping me from scoring higher on the liberal side.

Political views are for the most part hardwired, and the parts of the brain that makes you lean either way also influence personality traits like openness to experience, preference for structure and order, being punishing rather than forgiving etc etc. (This article explains more and links to studies). The test doesn't say "This is what you are", it says "Based on your lifestyle, social scientists predict that your political views are [X]". It makes a guess. Political leanings can be accurately predicted to a very large degree by either observing lifestyle choices or doing brainscans (according to the article, brain scans accurately predict political preferences 83% of the time).

That being said, I got solidly left wing.

I put my stuff in order before I leave the house, but I would definitely try purple carrots and monkey meat.

I don't fit the liberal stereotype very well, but just yesterday I was bragging that my daughter is a commie like her mommy.

I am fine with gay marriage and I love Elizabeth Warren, but I'm not eating any damn monkey meat unless I'm about to starve.
