I took the test:

In total, you correctly answered 11/18 (61.11%) of the political knowledge questions. 80% of people correctly answer between 4 and 9 questions; 6 is the average. Your score is higher than 95% of test takers.

On a scale of 0-100%, your total political bias was 5.56%.

I got the same number of correct answers, and knew while I was taking it that I did not know the answers to many of them. 0% political bias, though.

One problem with a test like this is that you might make sure that you don't give biased answers while you're taking the test, but in real life you might use biased answers without thinking about it.
