84/400, “Extremely Conservative.” Some of those were extremely loaded questions, not to mention too generalized to fit a pat answer.
I agree alot of the questions were BS, including the one that just mentioned "immigrants" in general and did not distinguish between illegal and legal ones. (and if liberals are honest about the question about whether they think it is "patriotic to question the government during a time of war', their answer would be "only if a Republican is President") . I think the results are fairly accurate, though I question the site's claim that those who primarily get their news from national TV like CNN score very conservative, and those who primarily get their news through the internet and blogs score mostly liberal. Everyone I know who gets their "facts" from the TV news media all day believed that Obama was a deity and Sarah Palin was "unqualified".
I already know I'm strongly conservative, I find quizzes that go into more specific policy ideas and types of political movements to be more interesting. I wish I had bookmarked that freeper thread that had a quiz ranking what type of conservative you are. I rated right in the middle between "Paleoconservative" and "Neoconservative".
One time I took a UK based political quiz to determine what type of british politician I would be (it had about 20 different movements within the UK). Many of the issues they addressed are topics that don’t come up much in American politics, like asking me “Should the UK adapt the Euro as its national currency?” (My response was hell no)
Surprisingly, after I finshed the test, the results came back and I was NOT a “Thatcherite”, but a “Cornerstone Conservative” by UK standards. After reading up on what a
“Cornerstone conservative” is, I have to agree the rating was probably correct:

166. Even though that’s a “conservative” score it seems a bit too high.
I got a 61 (extremely conservative). I didn’t put down too many 0s or 10s, or else it would have been even lower (i.e., more conservative).
Some of the questions were quite loaded, though.
