This was the question and the options, as detailed in the survey:

"Given that no label can completely describe a person's political views, with which of these labels do you MOST identify?"
* Libertarian, for example like the US Libertarian Party: socially permissive, minimal/no taxes, minimal/no redistribution of wealth
* Conservative, for example the US Republican Party and UK Tories: traditional values, low taxes, low redistribution of wealth
* Liberal, for example the US Democratic Party or the UK Labour Party: socially permissive, more taxes, more redistribution of wealth
* Socialist, for example Scandinavian countries: socially permissive, high taxes, major redistribution of wealth
* Communist, for example the old Soviet Union: complete state control of many facets of life

I chose Socialist simply because I prefer what they seem to have in Scandinavia, than what the US Democratic Party or the UK Labour Party seems to have on offer.

Thanks it's been some time since I took the survey and I forgot how that question was formulated.
