Sure: just look at the further reading list. OTOH, it's a reactive test: I think
they explicitly state that some questions are biased. To take the same poorly
phrased example, I suppose anyone with elitist or corporatist tendencies would
"agree" with that statement rather than "disagree".

The World's Smallest Political Quiz axes, or the WSPQ questions? I thought the
axes were the same (turned through 45 degrees), and as for the WSPQ questions...
I think the authors of that quiz really let their biases show through ;^)
