Political Quiz
Any one interested on seeing where they stand on according to the Libertarian parties ideals..can take this quiz. I would encourage anyone and everyone to do so...

http://www.theadvocates.org/quiz.html

After I posted this I felt like it would be good for me to expose what I scored on this:
(I am 80% Personal/ 90% Economic)
(Don't think I'm liberal just because I believe in Civil Liberties)
\"It is the soldier, not the reporter who has given us the freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives us the freedom to demonstrate.
It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag,
and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protestor to burn the flag.

Yes, It would be interesting to see where everyone stands on this chart. It measures you on economic and personal issues, and pretty accurately sorts you out. I wouldn't be suprised if a lot of the people who take it, aren't suprised by what they find, but there may be a few who will be... so it should be interesting.

a better quiz

Here is the 10 ressults you can get.

Centrist – Just what it sounds like. Someone who doesn’t have any particularly strong ideological leanings in any direction.

Conservative – Specifically a "fusionist" conservative of the National Review - Heritage Foundation mold. Someone who believes in traditional morality and capitalism, and the need for a limited government to allow both to flourish.

Left-libertarian – The quiz uses a mild definition of a left-libertarian, an anti-statist who is somewhat fearful of corporate and religious influence on public life.

Liberal – Supports economic regulation to promote social justice and takes a progressive stance toward moral or cultural issues.

Libertarian – A libertarian opposes most or all government activites. Does not favor much or any government support for either moral or economic systems.

Neoconservative – A "neocon" is more inclined than other conservatives toward vigorous government in the service of the goals of traditional morality and pro-business policies. Tends to favor a very strong foreign policy of America as well.

Paleoconservative – "Paleocons" want less US involvement in foeign affairs than other conservatives and oppose mass immigration. They are also more favorably disposed toward the South and the idea of secession, or at least decentralization, than neoconservatives.

Paleo-libertarian – Similar to other libertarians except for oppostion to mass immigration, and shares the paleocon appreciation of the South.

Radical – Critical of bouregois morality and strongly opposed to capitalism and willing to use state power to achieve desired ends.

Third-way – More supportive of foreign intervention than liberals and less supportive of economic regulation, coupled with more-or-less progressive social views. "Third-way" is to liberal what neoconservative is to conservative.



We'll i came up with my number one being paloconservative and then conservative and then neoconservative...


My ..1 result for the SelectSmart.com selector, Ideology Selector, is Paleoconservative

I took yours.... I am #1 Conservative (Regular type)
#2 Libertarian

On the other quiz I was a (80% Personal Self Governor/ 90% Economic self governor)

It is a very good quiz. But i would still encourage people to take both.


Conservative – Specifically a "fusionist" conservative of the National Review - Heritage Foundation mold. Someone who believes in traditional morality and capitalism, and the need for a limited government to allow both to flourish.

Libertarian – A libertarian opposes most or all government activites. Does not favor much or any government support for either moral or economic systems.

Sounds alright... but Pure libertarianism..isn't generally present within the American Libertarian Party. But.. I would say how I scored on this quiz basically mirrors their ideals. Good job your quiz is pretty good.

Second quiz I am:
#1 Radical
#2 Liberal


The funny thing is that in Sweden (where my mother was born) I am a centrist. Here I am radical... and they have it much better over there. Very interesting.
