Since most people on this board have the wrong interpretation of where most people stand as far as politics go, I have found the three major political quizzes on the internet and ask anyone who wants to please answer all three and post your results.

World's Smallest Political Quiz (http://www.theadvocates.org/quiz.html)

My results:

According to your answers, your political philosophy is libertarian.

Libertarian

Libertarians are self-governors in both personal and economic matters. They believe government's only purpose is to protect people from coercion and violence. They value individual responsibility, and tolerate economic and social diversity.

Your Personal Self-Government Score is 60%.
Your Economic Self-Government Score is 90%.


The political Quiz Show (http://madrabbit.net/webrabbit/quizshow.html)

My results:

Your Score: 23

Between Colin Powell (20) and George Bush Senior (25)


The Political Compass (http://www.politicalcompass.org/)


Economic Left/Right: 0.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.26

Just so you all know, that first test is a marketing gimic of the LIberatarian party. It's slanted toward their ideals.



According to your answers, your political philosophy is left-liberal.
Left-Liberal
Left-Liberals prefer self-government in personal matters and central decision-making on economics. They want government to serve the disadvantaged in the name of fairness. Leftists tolerate social diversity, but work for economic equality.


Your Score: 11
Between Hillary and Bill Clinton


This last one is the best of the 3 by far.

Economic-8.12
Social-7.03

Conservative
Right-conservatives prefer self-government on economic issues, but want official standards in personal matters. They want the government to defend the community from threats to its moral fiber.


just were i thought i'd be... and the top quiz was written by a LIB because it ask questions like:

Government should not censor speech, press, media or Internet

instead of

Government should censor speech, press, media or internet

and it also says:

Military service should be voluntary. There should be no draft

Instead of:

Military service should be voluntary, unless in times of need.

gimme a break guys, you'd rather sit on your asses and let someone invade our country, rather than protect it? "Some one should die for our freedom, i just dont want it to be me."

If i was called to duty, damn right i'd go without complaining. So people wanna enjoy the freedom they have, but do nothing to earn it. I hate some liberal views.


2nd quiz: about george bush

3rd quiz: authoritarian

Yeah, not only was that test written by a libertarian for libertarians, it was also written by someone who was either being intentionally deceptive, or intentionally difficult (or, by someone who is just a moron, which can never be ruled out.) It's got double negatives from here to ya-ya. You're answering "Yes I agree" or "No I disagree" not simply "Yes" or "No"


If you're confused by your score on the first test, take it again and read the questions VERY carefully.

I got Left-Liberalism....

Left-Liberals prefer self-government in personal matters and central decision-making on economics. They want government to serve the disadvantaged in the name of fairness. Leftists tolerate social diversity, but work for economic equality.

But to be fair, i didnt understand some of the questions, so i'll do it again.

If you're only going to take one test, take the last of the three tests that bond posted.

Hmm...



According to your answers, your political philosophy is centrist.
