I'm in between a libertarian and a liberal - 75% social and 45% economic.

No idea how to post that graph though.

That quiz is VERY misleading in it's questions.  If you click the explainations you learn that the questions dont mean what you think they mean.  I dislike it.

Personal Score - 26%
Economic Score - 60%

I am classified as a moderate conservative, both on the social and economic side.

Sounds about right.

Economic-70

Not a big fan of this test.  The one question on decreasing taxation on the wealthy, I answered oppose, but I don't support raising taxes either.

you're a perfect example of a moderate and a centrist. See Keystone Phil, this is what moderates are like, also people like Nation. Not htmldon. That's why I consider anyone to the right of don to be an extremist.

I do think I'm a bit more liberal that this-social is OK, maybe about 5-10% to the left on economics

According to this, I'm a right-leaning moderate populist - but I think that the framing (and accuracy) of several of the questions is very suspect. As others have noted, when your only question about taxation is "should taxes on the rich be reduced", there's things being missed. I would say I lean more libertarian (and strict-constructionist) than populist, and further to the right than that quiz indicated. *shrug*

Interesting, but not authoritative. Ironically enough, this quiz puts me far closer on the grid to Sen. Snowe's placing than I would say that I should be.

I never said nini isn't a moderate. I think Don would be pretty close to him.

I would be pretty close to him politically...though he's a bit too economically conservative and pro-Republican for me.

Like I've said in the past I am no fan of these political quizzes and do not look at them and automatically think "Well this quiz tells me I'm here so I'll believe this, this and this." I also don't think there were enough questions provided. I've taken this quiz in the past and have always gotten around the same result as I did this time so here it is...

I've taken it before to and usually score around 50% socially and between 35-50% economically.

He still wouldn't make it out of the moderate box so saying anyone to the right of Don is an extremist is foolish.

Philip and Richius seem pretty extreme.
