I got Democratic Socialism! Although I did it on my phone without my reading glasses on.

This sounds like an analogy for a major political British party’s attempts at socialism.

I've not taken the test but 'try not to be a cunt' is a good revision of the golden rule. So politically that's where I am.

I suppose the percentages are about right as a bar chart. 'Centrist marxism' has a very specific meaning and is something of an insult:

‘Centrism is the name applied to that policy which is opportunist in substance and which seeks to appear as revolutionary in form. Opportunism consists in a passive adaptation to the ruling class and its regime, to that which already exists, including, of course, the state boundaries. Centrism shares completely this fundamental trait of opportunism, but in adapting itself to the dissatisfied workers, centrism veils it by means of radical commentaries.’

(Trotsky)

Ouch!

I got council communist too, which is fine. I did have issues with some of the questions. But in the end it placed me reasonably well on all the axes, so I’m maybe just too pedantic. No surprise there. A bit of fun, but I wouldn’t take it too seriously.

Doh, and there I was just off to join the eco-anarchists.

I got eco anarchist. I wanted council communist though Some of the questions were a bit shit.

I'm a centrist Marxist. Mainly because I don't like answering strongly agree or strongly disagree for anything. Not a fan of sweeping statements. I'm surprised I came out as revolutionary (58.3) or progressive (62.5) as I did because neither are words I would use to describe myself.

Come the revolution you will be permitted not to garden...I suspect there are a fair few of us who are better at it anyway what do you like to do?

I think most of us avoid using some of those terms to describe ourselves but have particular values/perspectives.
