I really like Charlie Stross's test. I still believe in
objectivity, and the acid test of that is that you can't
tell the political opinions of the quiz designer (or
newscast reporter!). However, I did find

  F-- If you invade us we'll all sit down. And hold our
         breath until we turn blue. (You'll be sorry.)

This is quite amusing, of course, but in all seriousness is
not fair to pacifists. F-- should read something more like
"If you invade us, we will resort to civil disobediance,
your invasion won't do you any good, and eventually
history will revile you."

Your test comes close to how people at each coordinate would
actually speak.
