Quod erat demonstrandum.
@gemlog, that's what I was talking about.

The other thing is what people regard as left and right in one country may not match people in another with whom your are chatting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left%E2%80%93right_political_spectrum?useskin=vector#Contemporary_terminology
I didn't feel like taking the test, but I found a random image of someone who did.

@gemlog @menelion I have done the test, ended up in the green quarter, but I'm still sceptical about the method. It wasn't my point anyway. I'm increasingly disgusted by the similarities of far left and far right positions, like the support for regimes like the IRGC or Putin, for terrorists (Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis) or the anisemitism they express more or less openly.
