Can Jonathan Haidt predict your Politics?

Here is a test by Jonathan Haidt used to predict your political beliefs. It’s only 12 questions.

For me it is worrisome that whether you like cats or dogs is predictive of your political ideology. It somewhat indicates that political ideologies by and large aren’t about what’s the best policy or who’s the best leader, it’s about expression. The counter-argument is that with all the possible arbitrary likes and dislikes of people, we should expect a minority of them to be predictive.

I got like 65% liberal. There is no libertarian result.
