Here’s the Thing about Those Political Orientation Quizzes – Foundation for Economic Education – Working for a free and prosperous world

What makes this quiz interesting (or bizarre, depending on your outlook) is that none of the questions are about issues. Instead, you’re asked about lifestyle. Such as:
Are you orderly or messy?Do you prefer country music or classical music?Do you want your home on a busy street or quiet street?Are philosophical discussions fun, boring, or pointless?Do you like arugula?
At the risk of over-simplifying, if you give answers suggesting you prefer a quiet and conventional life, you’ll get a right-wing score. And you’ll get a left-wing score if your answers suggest you have a more eclectic approach to life (and, if you’re like me, you don’t know whether you like arugula, so you have a hard time answering certain questions).
