Where do you stand?

[DBella]

I don't participate in political threads but I do read them. Sometimes. From what I've observed, there seem to be more liberals here compared to conservatives. But how liberal or conservative are you really? Do you know?

Here are two sites for you to find out if you are what you think you are with regards to your political ideology:

www.idealog.org

www.self-gov.org (World's Smallest Political Quiz)

If you take both tests, are the two results similar?

 

[JLBats]

I don't feel like taking the first one, but I took the second:

I also took a survey at school and got a score of 75, which puts me in the middle of the left.

I still prefer closer to the center governance, however.

 

[USMC]

Wow, apparantely, I'm a Libertarian...

 

[Socrates]

Hm...

 

[DBella]

ACCORDING TO YOUR ANSWERS,

The political description that
fits you best is...

CENTRIST
CENTRISTS espouse a "middle ground" regarding government control of the economy and personal behavior. Depending on the issue, they sometimes favor government intervention and sometimes support individual freedom of choice.

Centrists pride themselves on keeping an open mind, tend to oppose "political extremes," and emphasize whatthey describe as "practical" solutions to problems.

Your PERSONAL issues Score is 50%.
Your ECONOMIC issues Score is 50%.


I think the first test is more interesting. I believe you can skip tutorials and go straight to Self-Test.

 

[DBella]

Wow, apparantely, I'm a Libertarian...

You don't think you are?

Libertarian, along with liberals, tolerate variety in lifestyle. With the conservatives, they tolerate variety in economic achievement.

 

[JLBats]

Okay, I did the first one, I got somewhere in the center of Liberal.

The first test ranked me as, slightly conservative, and slightly communitarian with a bit more skewed towards Equality and generally speaking, pretty much a centrist as well.
​

So for me, yeah, both results are quite similiar.

Christ, a lot of you people have to learn to pick a side

Problem is, both options suck.

I took it again, cos I was a bit confused by my score. I'm now a...

[enterthemadness]

1st test score = Equality, Liberal. Order- 2. Equality- 6.

2nd test score = Centrist. Wow.

 

[Darthphere]

On the first test I was a liberal.

 

[Drakon]

Odd--I've always thought of myself more centerist.

 

[bored]

 

[Darthphere]

Edit Lol!

 

[Drakon]

Bwhahahaha!

 

[Darthphere]

Bwhahahaha!

I wish that was done on purpose.

 

[Dwarf lord]

I'm a libertarian for both. But I really hate political labels. I believe what I believe, not political label will ever fit me or make me fit them.

 

[Childlike Wild]

The first test made my browser die, but I was all the way on the left side, on the center line.

Second test:

...I guess I can see that, but it really depends on the issue. Things like gun control, Israel, how to run a presidential campiagn, etc., put me more in line with the conservatives.
