Title: What is your Political Standing
Post by: Gaspar on April 01, 2008, 07:09:41 AM
I moved this from another thread.  

Here's a good test. Simplistic but accurate.

http://www.theadvocates.org/quiz.html

I would be interested to see how some folks on this forum score!

This was my score:

LIBERTARIAN

LIBERTARIANS support maximum liberty in both personal and
economic matters. They advocate a much smaller government; one
that is limited to protecting individuals from coercion and violence.
Libertarians tend to embrace individual responsibility, oppose
government bureaucracy and taxes, promote private charity, tolerate
diverse lifestyles, support the free market, and defend civil liberties.

The link isn't working for me, but I seem to recall I was in the Libertarian area.

I scored an 80 and an 80.  My red dot was directly over the "t" in Libertarian.

Left liberal, but very close to Centrist and Libertarian both.

Whatever that means.

Your PERSONAL issues Score is 80%.
Your ECONOMIC issues Score is 30%.
(Please note: Scores falling on the Centrist border are counted as Centrist.)

I think 100 and 100 would just about qualify someone for anarchist...

Beware!  

I had some folks get angry because they wanted to be classified in one school of thought, but they actually fell into another.

One young lady here at the office that wanted to be considered a hard core liberal (all tattoos and piercings)  kept going back and changing her answers until she got the answer she wanted.  Then she was pissed all day because she had to think about her political beliefs.  I saw her pull up the test again at least 8 times during the day and slam her keyboard against the desk.  Then she called her mom and whispered about it for 15 minutes.

I sort of felt guilty for busting the bubble that years of college professors had built for her.

I was a Centrist.  Personal issues score 60%...Economic issues score 40%.

Not a lot of questions and obviously biased to get more Libertarian results.
