Want To Know Which Side You're Really On?

[Vespa]

You'll be asked just 10 questions, and then it instantly tells you where you stand politically. It shows your position as a red dot on a "political map" so you'll see exactly where you score. You may be surprised.

The most interesting thing about the Quiz is that it goes beyond the Democrat, Republican, Independent.

The Quiz has gotten a lot of praise. The Washington Post said it has "gained respect as a valid measure of a person's political leanings." The Fraser Institute said it's "a fast, fun, and accurate assessment of a person's overall political views." Suite University said it is the "most concise and accurate political quiz out there."

Ah! I see. The quiz is for Bush babies not real democracies!

It says I am a Libertarian. Too bad I don't believe in politcal parties.

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.

I'm a liberal, seemingly. Never realised I was so left wing

[MiG16]

there seems to be a difference between what the US consider liberal and what i see as a liberal though? have had a few arguments with american friends.....until i was introduced to the term libertarian

ashacat ---im surprisingly...a somewhat boring centrist too!! but on the economic front it says im 80% liberal

Yes, from this the US liberal seems quite different from the UK liberal

Anarchist wasn't in there, Libertarian will do.

[dereklev]

A Libertarian but close to a Centrist........

What a fatuous piece of nonsense this 'quiz' is. The questions are skewed to the point of nonsense . . 'end barriers', 'give control' etc. All of them emotionally laden words to elicit a certain response.

I'm a libertarian but there is another much more sophisticated quiz of around 50 questions which distinguishes between political attitudes and social attitudes.

For example, it showed that while I am an economic libertarian (lower taxes, no state help, minimum govt control, free trade etc), I'm actually on the other side of the fence socially (women's right to choose, anti-death penalty, up to you attitude on drugs etc).

In the politically unsophisticated US, those two don't usually sit together. A neo-con is a neo-con, right?

Nonsense.

I'll see if I can track it down . . .

Borderline Centrist-Left. Assuming I started adult life as Left/Liberal in another twenty years I should be well into the Right/Conservative sector. I wonder if others see themselves drifting right as they get older.
