I have been trying to search for a very accurate political ideology test, and what the best I've Found till now is the Political Compass, but still some questions aren't accurate enough or don't have accurate answers, so the results may not be that realistic. Do you know a very accurate politcal ideology test, because it is so damned hard to find one.

The Most Accurate Three-Step Political Ideology Test Ever:


Visit one of these (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library).
Read a whole lot of these (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Books).
Pick one.


The best feature of TMAT-SPITE is exposure to all kinds of different political ideologies and ideas, making the quest to choose a specific one even more difficult, painful, and impossible. Eventually, with the realization that conflicting viewpoints can still all contain at least bits and pieces of truth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Stuart_Mill), the suffering will culminate in the realization of the religious absurdity inherent to the entire concept of "ideology."

(For the sort of tests one finds on the internet, Political Compass does indeed appear to be one of the best).
