Actually, I found that quiz to be pretty biased towards Liberal-Libertarian. The wording and types of questions, along with the analysis style and undertones suggest that they weren't looking for answers to open questions. They use hot-button issues, but fail to include options on important details. Some of the giveaways were:

"Abortion is a Woman's Right" vs. taking both sides in the question, such as "Abortion: Woman's Right or Premeditated Murder?"
"Reduce use of coal, oil, & nuclear energy" --- apples and oranges, I say. Oil and coal have nothing in common with nucs except hot water!
"Immigration Helps Our Economy - Encourage It" --- What about legal immigration + assimilation vs. illegal/subversive activity?


Not fooled.
No one said it's scientific... however all the questions were the same for all of us, and I'd say the results are pretty much matching up to what I know about everyone's political views.
