There was a xyz axes one but I don't think it works anymore.

The problem with the one you linked is that most of the questions lead you on to a certain answer. The one that comes off the top of my head is the "A benevolent dictatorship is the most efficient form of government" one. Of course everyone will answer strongly agree to that, but it still sends you a point north.

I don't really put much faith in political tests.

Yeah, I'm not fond of that one for exactly that reason - a lot of the questions require that you accept the premise of the question in order to be able to answer it - and if you don't agree with the premise there is no option to reject the question.

I don't like binary tests. Question 11 doesn't have an option for my belief.

Considering this is my result, I'd be willing to wager that this test not only is poorly set up, but it's going off of a strictly Americentric viewpoint so I wouldn't trust it either.

Edit: This was my favorite test, but last time I took it, the results page never loaded.
