I was shown this by a friend on steam about a year ago, have just been too lazy to post it on facepunch.
I'm also too lazy to type a whole lot, a lot of this will probably be copy-pasta from the website.

[quote=Moral Politics]Welcome to the Moral Politics Test.
Take this political test now to find where you fit on the Moral Matrix.
Find out which party and candidates best match your beliefs.
Learn about many aspects of politics, like Moral Trends, Political Systems, and Ideologies.
This test aims to be different. Most tests question your stance on political issues (abortion, gun control, taxes...). This test explains why you think what you think by mapping your personal moral system.
For instance we won't ask you questions on taxes but try to find what moral views shape your opinion on taxes. Moral views are the major predictors of political opinions.[/quote]
The Overview link will bring you to, well, an overview of how it works:

[b]This is the "Moral Matrix"[/b]
[quote=Test Description]This test is a morality-based political test. It finds your political position not by asking you what you think about political issues but by defining your Personal Moral System.
Political opinions are shaped by your moral values. Once we map your personal moral system, we can accurately tell you what your stance is on any political issue.
Note that moral values is not the same as 'traditional values'. Moral values can be of any political flavor. Everyone has moral values.[/quote]
[b]The moral matrix is the graph in which your score will be plotted on (captain obvious to the rescue)[/b]
[quote=Moral Matrix Desription]Political ideas are often expressed using the right-left model. While simple, this model does not capture the richness of political opinions. For instance, you may be feeling on the left or certain social issues but on the right on economical ones.
The Moral Matrix addresses this problem. Instead of a single left-right dimension, the Matrix has two dimensions that combine to create four quadrants, or Political Systems.
By taking the test you will know where you stand on the Matrix, which Political System fits you best, and which Political Ideology you most closely match.[/quote]
[quote=Moral Dimensions]The Moral Matrix has two Dimensions:
The Moral Order dimension defines your ideal view of the world. Achieving that ideal order is the goal of politics.
The Moral Rules dimension defines the rules you think are best to achieve your ideal moral order. Implementing those rules is the object of politics.
In short, your political opinions reflect what moral rules you think society should follow to reach or maintain your ideal moral order.[/quote]

[b]This plots out the Moral Trends[/b]
[quote=Moral Trends]A Moral Trend is a side of a Moral Dimension. Trends are the major predictors of political opinions.
Each dimension has two opposite trends. Click on each trend to learn about its meaning:

[b]This plots out the most common and basic political systems.[/b]
[quote=Political Systems]A Political System is a blend of two Moral Trends.
There are four major political systems:
Socialism blends NonConformance with Interdependence.
Authoritarianism blends Conformance with Interdependence.
Conservatism blends Conformance with Independence.
Liberalism blends NonConformance with Independence.[/quote]

[b]A more detailed graph[/b]
[quote=Political Variations]A Political Variation is a flavor of Political System:
Each political system has four variations:
The first variation is when more importance is given to Moral Order than to Moral Rules.
The second variation is when more importance is given to Moral Rules than to Moral Order.
The third variation is when moderate importance is given to both Moral Rules and Moral Order.
The fourth variation is when extreme importance is given to both Moral Rules and Moral Order.[/quote]

[b]A differently detailed version of the above graph[/b]
[quote=Political Ideologies]A Political Ideology is a sub-section of a Political System typically mapping to the specific beliefs of a group or to a theory.
Because certain ideologies are complex and include multiple factions, they can easily span multiple Political Variations. Ideologies can also overlap.
While some of the ideologies listed here are well known and hardly disputed (i.e. Social-Democracy), others are often the subject of intense discussions (e.g. Trotskyism).
Where a clear ideology name was not established, we came up with our own or picked the term that we thought best represented the zone on the Moral Matrix.[/quote]
Enough with the jibba-jabba, time for some more interesting stuff:

If you aren't sure which to pick, click "Show Hints", it can resolve a lot of confusion
If you want to post your graph and data i [b]HIGHLY[/b] suggest you save the image and re-upload it using an image host site, as the images on the test site are likely removed soon after testing.
Please refrain from bashing people for their stances, i know a war is inevitable but postponing it as long as possible would be nice, and would save a lot of bans.
If i left something out or fucked something up please tell me.
