1 You are a Social Moderate (43% permissive) and an... Economic Conservative (78% permissive) You are best described as a: Capitalist I would have thought I was higher on the Economics and a little lower on the Social. Oh well, a 40 question quiz is far from perfect

2 Yeah, tests like this are always questionable -- there were a few questions in that test that were very loaded -- they would ask a question that you really couldn't answer yes or no -- like "Should the victims of Katrina be given aid and money to help?" My answer is yes, they should, but not by government.

3 I got centrist, but not in the quadrant I would have thought. There were some questionables... that I would like to have been able to put NONE OF THE ABOVE.

4 I am ALSO a Strong Republican - which is a darn good thing, as I am a State Committee member! Phew!

5 Ah, Bou, but it's all for fun with these things, isn't it? I've flirted with the idea of making an accurate quiz that could show which party platform someone matches up with, but I just haven't found the time. And Peter -- a STRONG Republican? In MA? I didn't know they were allowed there.

6 Wow, I didn't really see that coming - I turned out to be a "Capitalist", hehehe!

7 Say it ain't so!

8 If you ever do put together a quiz of your own, be sure to get the political spectrum right. I haven't seen one yet that is accurate. For example on this one, Fascist should be on the opposite side of the "economically permissive" axis, and a little more "socially permissive". In other words, along the bottom in the left corner/center rather than upper left corner. A Fascist (National Socialist) is just a more committed socialist. Economically, the only difference between Fascists and Communists is that, while both have strict government control over the use of capital, Fascists allow private parties to own the capital, while communists believe that it should be owned by the state. It doesn't make much difference in the end, as the state controlls the capital in both cases. I also would have flipped this so Democrats were on the left side and Republicans on the right.

9 Echo Zoe In the Zwangwirtschaft form of Socialism, the praxeological characteristic of ownership (ability to direct the use of an economic good) is in the hands of the government, no matter what is on the statutes.

10 Actually, I was working more on an agree/disagree type of quiz. I was grabbing party platform positions and statements from party web sites and putting them together. So the question would be something like, "Which of the following statements about abortion most closely matches your personal opinion." Then I'd list all the different political party positions. I think I'd also include a "none of the above" so anarchists could find a home, too.

11 And yes, I did notice the facist did seem to be in a rather odd place, too. Maybe I'll take the test again and see if I can get facist for a result...

12 Centrist You exhibit a very well-developed sense of Right and Wrong and believe in economic fairness. Or should I say, See Bou's answer. Blhhhhhhhh.

13 Thanks, Bou...err... I mean VW...

14 No kidding, our answers were off by like 4%.

15 I'm starting to think you are the same person with a split personality...

16 You are a Social Liberal (75% permissive)and an... Economic Conservative (81% permissive) You are best described as a: Libertarian You exhibit a very well-developed sense of Right and Wrong and believe in economic fairness I've always said I'm a Libertarian. Now the almighty quiz has confirmed it. (*)>

17 Well it's good that it's official now, Birdwoman, isn't it?
