Political Label Quiz - 8/29/2006 11:52:04 AM

I received this email today. It's a quick 10 question test that alleges to determine your political leaning. It has the basic "poll question prejudice" but if you don't analyze the questions so much it can be used as a political debate starting point. It was no surprise to me that I scored in the 'right leaning Libertarian quadrant. My answers scored 60% Personal and 90% Economic. HAVE FUN!

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

I took it and was labeled Liberal, but not very far left of Centrist. I think that's fairly accurate, as well. I scored 70% Personal, 30% Economic.

LIBERALS usually embrace freedom of choice in personal
matters, but tend to support significant government control of the
economy. They generally support a government-funded "safety net"
to help the disadvantaged, and advocate strict regulation
of business. Liberals tend to favor environmental regulations,
defend civil liberties and free expression, support government action
to promote equality, and tolerate diverse lifestyles.

In a longer political test i am a left libertarian, this test judges me almost the same, but labeled me a liberal. I hate labels.

fits you best is...
.
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 RED DOT on the Chart shows where you fit on the political map.

Your PERSONAL issues Score is 90%.
Your ECONOMIC issues Score is 60%.

I am very liberal.
