"Many
people find politics either too boring or too frustrating to tolerate
in large doses. One possible cause for this estrangement is the linear
nature of the established political spectrum. The left-versus-right
system was inadequate to begin with. Political thought throughout history
has never been so narrow as to be contained by such simplicity. The
solution: the World's Smallest Political Quiz. This quiz features two
sets of five questions. Each question tests the participant's idea of
how much government is necessary. The results give a much clearer idea
of where people stand as political thinkers than the old system. The
entire political landscape could change for the better by taking one
simple test." -- Maggie Ownbey, L.A. Valley Star,

"In the late '60s, a political scientist named David Nolan created
a political leanings chart with the goal of shattering the linear pattern
of 'left' and 'right.' The chart was a diamond divided into five sections.
If the old left-to-right scale on political leaning was black and white

color." -- Eric Lidji, The Pitt News

"The
[World's Smallest Political Quiz] has both a left-right axis, which

"When
I saw this thing, I thought there was no way 10 easy questions could
accurately describe my political views. I always thought I was a pretty
complex individual with well-reasoned but eclectic views. Thinking this
was probably a well-disguised multi-level marketing scam, I took the
test... It turns out there was no form to fill out, and no Amway salesman
was going to call me and tell me how I could get rich. It accurately
described my political leanings." -- California Computer
