Political Compass
I took the test at Political Compass that everyone has been taking. My "Economic Left/Right" score is -6.25 and my "Libertarian/Authoritarian" score is -8.00. This places me in Cartesian Quadrant III (Left Libertarian) with the Dalai Lama, Nelson Mandela, and Jean Chretien. As far as I can tell, I am more to the left and more libertarian than both Mandela and the Dalai Lama (definitely of Chretien), but the charts they have showing prominent world leaders' scores omit the coordinate system, so I can't tell exactly. This quiz is pretty well constructed, though their web design needs some work.
In any case, it makes more sense than the World's Smallest Political Quiz, which has only 10 badly-worded questions. Most of them are constructed ridiculously enough that everyone who doesn't click "yes" (most people that go to the site do, since the site has linked to prominently by the Libertarian Party and other right-libertarians since about 1995) will just keep clicking "maybe" and wind up a centrist.
