Worlds Smallest Political Quiz

Recommended Posts

You should all check out this link...its libertarianism based, but its quick and easy and shows you where you fit on a chart of political parties/philosophies.

The site says that about 35% end up scoring Libertarian...

 

Im not sure if that is a result of the test being a bit skewed or that (in my opinion) libertarianism is the most popular 'philosophy' in America...

 

Its a shame we only have the two dork parties to choose from though.

Libertarian.

Personal: 90% Economic: 80%

 

The questions were clearly biased and while interesting, the quiz was far too short. In a larger and more comprehensive survey I'd probably lean more towards the left or centrist, especially on the economic issues.

I scored Centrist, slightly in the left-hand side of the centrist box.

Same, except right hand side.

 

40, 60 as well.

Your Personal issues Score is 100%.

Your Economic issues Score is 30%.

 

Liberal.

40% personal, 70% economic, meaning that I'm a right-leaning centrist with more Libertarian leanings than Statist leanings.

I'm calling this bull. Has ANYONE hit conservative?

I think it's unlikely that many people will fall deep into the right-conservative quadrant because nowadays a large number of people who would be called conservatives support things such as free trade, which are libertarian policy (in the classical sense). Someone like Pat Buchanan would probably test as a right-conservative in this quiz.

That's just it. I'm thinking that it's, shall we say, making the libertarian block the biggest to consume as many as possible.

Guest Horse hockey!

70/70 - Libertarian.

 

I doubt the accuracy of this quiz. It's way too short.

This thing has been around for ever and yes it has been proved to be skewed and too short sighted, and only scoring on a linear plane, with the goal to try to get people to think they're Libertarians.

 

Anyway, my score was

 

Your Personal issues Score is 50%.

Your Economic issues Score is 30%

"Centrist".

 

For a MUCH better political quiz that will score you on more than a linear basis and with less loaded questions, check out Political Compass: http://www.politicalcompass.org/

 

It really forces you to address your feelings on the issues.

 

I scored:

Economic Left/Right: 2.62

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.33

I mostly closely match Paul Martin, interesting enough. Same quarter as George W. though.

Hey, Slapnuts's test is where the goods are at. I scored a 21, putting me slightly conservative. Everyone, take that test. Really interesting and hits a shitload of the points.

This (the first test) seems like it was made by one of those internet message board posters, you've seen the ones if you go to other political boards, who are hardcore Republicans and call themselves libertarians to make themselves sound more open minded.

 

I've met a Republican who supported Bush's ban on gay marriages with all he could muster, thought it was a good thing that it left the door open to possibly ban civil unions too, and has crazy conspiracy theories about historical figures for peace being communists in disguise. Although he's registered ®, he considers himself an (L) because he doesn't want to admit he's a far-right shill so extreme other right-wing shills would be afraid of him.

 

I'm taking the second quiz now, not sure about this one:

10. Which would curb violent crime most?

 

Stricter controls on the sale of guns

Mandatory sentences for those who use guns in the commission of a crime

Both

 

What, no "neither"?
