The Minarchist
29 Personal rights, 35 Morality, 27 Social justice, 3 Market Control

"AGSD: Activist, proGressive, Self-reliant, Deregulating.
Live free or die! You're a government minimalist. You agree with the sentiment, "that government is best which governs least." A basic government that maintains law and order and defends the nation from attack is all you're really looking for. You don't trust the government in your bedroom or near your wallet; either way it will probably put its hands where you don't want them! You also feel that most people are perfectly capable of running their own lives without the government's help. And those who get into trouble can get help from their families or private charities. Of course freedom is messy. The poor have little to no social safety net in your world. But, if they pull themselves up by their bootstraps, read some Ayn Rand, and get a damn job, life will be better in no time! As for voting, you probably hold your nose when you get to the polls. For a while, Republicans catered more to your tastes than Democrats. But now that George W decided to turn the GOP into the party of Big Government, the Democrats aren't looking so bad. There is always the Libertarian Party, if you don't mind throwing away your vote. If you scored under 10 on all four categories, then you, my friend, are an anarchist. You're probably taking this test from your heavily armed compound, waiting for the ATF and FBI to bust down the doors. Or you're trying to push a safety pin through your upper lip, while listening to the Sex Pistols. Don't forget to sanitize that thing! Notable Minarchists are Thomas Jefferson, Milton Friedman, Ayn Rand, Barry Goldwater, and Ron Paul."

Not really. The fact that I have a libertarian worldview as to what the government should do in regard to the economy doesn't mean that I'm a ruthless, careless individualist such as Ayn Rand, and the fact that I'm not for shoving religious laws down people's throats doesn't make me an atheist - and definitely not a Democrat or a big-L Libertarian. The lack of foreign policy questions probably skewed my score toward the libertarian side of the spectrum.

Tribalism score: -33%
Liberalism score: 50%



Highest ranking dimension: Individualist
You believe in the right of an individual to "be themself" in thought and deeds. You may have felt that what the country really needs is a politician with the nerve to tell people when it comes to controlling others, they should mind their own business. This may be because you enjoy a diversity of experiences and don ’t get offended easily. It may also be because you’ve seen people be persecuted. Others may disagree with you because they feel a right to protect what they see as community values. When politicians of your type make mistakes it is often because they underestimate people’s need for sta bility and safety.

Second highest ranking dimension: Small Government
You believe in a government that keeps order but otherwise stays out of the way. You may have felt that what the country really needs is a government with the courage to take on some of the "sacred cows" of government spending. This may be because you have been irked by how much you pay in taxes. It may also be because you feel that excessive government support programs reward those with no initiative. Others may disagree with you because they see some people as having the system stacked against them. When politicians of your type make mistakes it is because they find it difficult to maintain the "tough love" approach when their friends and supporters ask for help.

Highest ranking dimension: Big Government
You believe in the power of government to make life better. You may have felt that what the country really needs is for the government to get serious about the many problems that people face. This may be because you have seen the system break down and know people who have fallen through the cracks. It may also be because you feel that our society is at risk our communities need better protection from internal and external dangers. Others may disagree with you because they are focused on what government does wrong, rather than what it does right.

Second highest ranking dimension: Literalist
You believe that "good", "evil", "justice" and "injustice" exist in the world and people need to take a stand. You may have felt that what the country really needs is a politician with a functioning moral compass. This may be because you have seen what happens when "everything is permitted". It may also be because society is being undermined by people for whom numbers are the measure of everything. Others may disagree with you because they tend to rationalize everything, and don ’t have a vision for a better society . When politicians of your type make mistakes it is because they just can’t deal with others who don’t share their faith or beliefs.

Authoritarianism score: 0%
Internationalism score: 0%
Tribalism score: -100%
Liberalism score: 100%


Highest ranking dimension: Democratic
You believe in the principles of democracy - that too much control by too few is a dangerous proposition You may have felt that what the country really needs is to open the corridors of power and let more "real people" inside. This may be because you have seen people treated unfairly, seen self interest take over people ’s judgment and wish that political leaders would lead by following the people’s wishes. It may also be because you see that the people who tend to get elected don’t represent the diversity of viewpoints and cultures that exist in the population. Others may disagree with you because they are impatient to see politicians "do something", and possibly because they are less inclined to do their own thinking about the issues. When politicians of your type make mistakes it is often because in an attempt to please everybody, they please nobody.

Your result for The Issues Test ...
Strange Democrat
You scored 72% economically responsible, 76% self-destructively free and 68% expressively free.

Strange Democrat

You want to control the marketplace, but not people... ideological conflicts are inevitable, and the government shouldn't silence them.

Economy (liberal): The economy is a raging force that must be controlled or we will be swept away. We have to remember that it is founded on greed, and unchecked greed is a recipe for disaster. Rigid rules must be in place to limit the powerful and prevent tragedies from slipping through the cracks.

Personal Freedom (liberal): If it only involves me, what right does anyone have to tell me no? A person should be allowed to be as stupid and harmful to themselves as they want, and letting the government go in, imposing majority morality, is dangerously tyrannical.

Expressive Freedom (liberal): This is a free country, isn't it? Why should my voice be silenced, just because you don' t like what it has to say? If I can do it in private, I can do it in public. You're always free to leave. Hampering a person's right to free expression is dangerously tyrannical.





Your result for The Political Personality Test ...
Social Democrat
24 Personal rights, 8 Morality, 78 Social justice, 61 Market Control

AGER: Activist, proGressive, Egalitarian, Regulating.
Congratulations! you are Bill O'Reily's arch-nemesis.

As the stereotypical liberal, you want to protect personal freedoms, while also regulating the economy. You care much more about values like fairness and equality, than in traditional family values.

You are political friends with labor unions, environmentalists, the ACLU, and the people who have those large George W. Bush marionettes at anti-WTO rallies. Basically any group that puts themselves between the "little guy" and some big bully, like the US government or Wal-Mart.

Your critics think your fiscal positions will slow economic growth to a grinding halt. Inflation does seem to follow in the wake of your grand economic policies. Meanwhile, your critics also think your social positions will lead to domestic chaos. In their eyes, you would have everyone high on the "reefer", shacked up with prostitutes, and watching ultra-violent and sexual TV shows...all on the Sabbath!

Some of you do get pretty radical. If you scored over 85 on either Social Justice or Market Control, while 15 or below on Civil Rights or Values, then you probably get called "hippy" a lot. In fact, your creative "Workers of the World Unite!" sculpture made out of Wal-Mart shopping carts and Starbucks coffee cups was the talk of last year's Burning Man.

Luckily for you, the Democrats cater to most of your political positions. For those more extreme Social Democrats, there is the Green Party and the remnants of the Socialist Party to consider. Of course, some of you radical types have trouble voting while living up in a tree that is scheduled to be cut down.

Notable Social Democrats: Ralph Nader, Tony Blair, David Kucinich, Barak Obama.

http://web.archive.org/web/20080828114018/http://www.neo-libertarian.com/scorequiz.html

Radical-Conservative Line: 11

Radical-Leaning - Those American politicians not in the republican category are probably in this section.  It is moving in the same direction as the republican group, embraces democracy and rejects racism, but perhaps these people strongly support the death penalty or stand opposed to gay marriage.  In American terms, these are more conservative people, but on this scale - which includes a wider range of global and historical politics - they are clustered under radical-leaning.

Liberal-Populist Line: 5

Liberal-Leaning - Those moving in the direction of individual autonomy, critical of government, opposed to sin taxes and moral codes fall in this area.  A majority of Americans fall here or in the moderate section.

Capitalist-Socialist Line: -26

Planner - Few Democrats fit here, but FDR is probably the most aggressive move in this direction, followed by LBJ.  They believe that the market is useful for many areas, but overall it is too chaotic, irrational or unfair, and it takes the keen eye of the state or bureaucracy to correct market imperfections.  They support nationalization of industries, guaranteed employment for all, massive welfare entitlements, and massive public works.  They associate economic success with high employment, high production, and massive government involvement; the super-rich are usually allowed to still exist normally, but less so in business or managerial capacities.  Ultimately, the market is either short-sighted or unfair, and some outside force must step in to correct it.

Your result for The Political Objectives Test ...



Moderate

You scored 71 Equality, 64 Liberty, and 79 Stability!

Your feel that all three principles are important. You take some interest in politics and definitely have opinions. However those opinions may be formed on a case-by-case basis because you lack an overriding commitment to any of the principles. You may sometimes get confused by complex political issues because you can be persuaded by different arguments. Moderates like yourself are important in mediating between others in a parliamentary democracy. If you get involved in politics then you may well be working alongside the pragmatists among Conservatives or Liberals or Socialists depending on your inclinations and circumstances.

Radical-Conservative Score: 27
Republican
- This includes a large bulk of modern-day American politicians, whether Republican or Democratic.  This includes values of basic racial equality but not necessarily affirmative action.  It's a strong rejection of racism and a strong embrace of democracy, but not into the social levelling or hyper-secularism of the democrat level.
Liberal-Populist Score: 21
Libertarian
- Many people in the US Libertarian Party are minor heretics or simply adhere to certain social controls while remaining otherwise nearly anarchical.  These people, in addition to a number of especially independent Democrats and Republicans, fit into the libertarian category.  They do not seek the philosophical uber-consistency of the anarchists, but they propose most or nearly all of the same ideas and policies.  Someone in the ACLU or the Republican Liberty Caucus would likely fall here.
Capitalist-Socialist:-12
Socialist-Leaning
- Most Democrats and a few Republicans fall here.  They are skeptical of corporate scandals, think that balanced budgets are a good reason to raise taxes, and want a more progressive taxation system.  They view the estate tax and capital gains tax as necessary balancing devices against the power of the wealthy.  They are skeptical or even adamantly opposed to free trade, and consider the IMF, WTO and World Bank to be closed, dangerous, undemocratic and serving the wealthy.  They associate economic success with more government spending, low unemployment, and a trade surplus.

Capitalist-Socialist Line: 23

Free Marketeer - Accepting that the market is the fairest and most effective device for setting wages and prices, those in this category support freer trade, deregulation, privatization, market reforms, tax cuts and economic liberalization.  This category includes Reagan and most Republicans, tax cutters, free traders, and those seeking to shrink governemnt and encourage commerce and business.  They associate economic success with much less government interference, low inflation, easy access to trade and business creation, and wealth creation.

Liberal
You scored 29 Equality, 79 Liberty, and 29 Stability!

You think liberty is important both for yourself and for all of humanity. You respect others and think it is important that everyone be given the opportunity to make decisions for themselves rather than have authority figures tell them what is best. The autonomy of every person is important to you but you think there are times in which personal action needs to be limited. As such you recognise that there is a role for government as long as it depends on the consent of the governed – this makes parliamentary democracy important to you. You prefer the role of government in economics and society to be small. In practice you will tolerate public sector activity as long as it is efficient and allows you to get on with your life. You are likely to advocate for both a predominantly free-market economy and a cosmopolitan and permissive culture.

Radical-Conservative Line: >30
Democrat - This includes some left and center-left Western parties.  The French Communists and Socialists or in the US the Progressive Caucus or left wing of the Democrats would likely fit in this label.  The French policy of laicite, dating back to the French Revolution, is the perfect embodiment of the democrat rating.  Laicite is very secular, even to the point of being anti-clerical, and is the reason God is a taboo subject in the realm of politics, and why religious items are banned from student wardrobes in schools.  The democrats of this scale go beyond legal equality and use the force of government and law to secure social equality - through affirmative action, quotas, hiring reforms, special ethnic apportionments in legislatures, and other policies aimed to correct even indrect discrimination.  The rating 'democrat' is NOT the same thing as a US Democratic party member.
 
Liberal-Populist Line: 7
Liberal-Leaning - Those moving in the direction of individual autonomy, critical of government, opposed to sin taxes and moral codes fall in this area.  A majority of Americans fall here or in the moderate section.

Capitalist-Socialist Line: <-30
Communist - Whether Stalin and Mao or the Paris Commune and the Spanish Civil War, communists want to eliminate capital, eliminate profit, eliminate private property as we know it and then what follows is either a state-organized, syndicate-organized or spontaneously-organized distribution of goods based more or less on the Marxist principle from each according to ability, to each according to need.  Few people press this ideology anywhere, although there are still Communists in some Western European countries and certainly many left in former Soviet countries such as Russia.  They associate economic success with lack of want, and lack of inequality.  Issues such as free trade, welfare and taxes are virtually irrelevant since their ideals don't include capital and markets, but they tend to vigorously support the normal planner perspectives on these issues as a transitional policy.

Pew Research Center's Political Typology Quiz
Solid Liberal
Generally affluent and highly educated, most Solid Liberals strongly support the social safety net and take very liberal positions on virtually all issues. Most say they always vote Democratic and are unflagging supporters of Barack Obama. Overall, Solid Liberals are very optimistic about the nation’s future and are the most likely to say that America’s success is linked to its ability to change, rather than its reliance on long-standing principles. On foreign policy, Solid Liberals overwhelmingly believe that good diplomacy – rather than military strength – is the best way to ensure peace.

Your best fit is...
Faith and Family Left
along with 15% of the public.


The Faith and Family Left combine strong support for activist government with conservative attitudes on many social issues. They are very racially diverse – this is the only typology group that is “majority-minority.” The Faith and Family Left generally favor increased government aid for the poor even if it adds to the deficit and believe that government should do more to solve national problems. Most oppose same-sex marriage and legalizing marijuana and most say religion and family are at the center of their lives. Compare groups on key issues.

Centrist
You scored 53% Personal Liberty and 56% Economic Liberty!



A centrist believes in moderate government intervention in both personal and economic matters. They tend to be somewhat ambiguous, as they may have the oppurtunity to pick the side of any group surrounding them on any given issue. They generally believe in a moderate social safety net and what they consider to be a balanced stance on personal liberty. Centrists tend to emphasize compromise and cooperation between partisan groups.

You scored 84% Personal Liberty and 78% Economic Liberty!

A left libertarian believes in little to no government intervention on personal matters and little to moderate government intervention on economic matters. They generally believe in a government that is extremely small and limited to the extent of protecting people's liberty. They tend to be strongly opposed to war, police powers, victimless crimes, foreign intervention and what they consider to be a welfare state. They strongly support self-ownership and support property rights. They support capitalism as an economic system. Libertarian thought is individualist in nature.

You scored 84% on Personal, higher than 91% of your peers.
You scored 78% on Economic, higher than 89% of your peers.

It was a pretty hefty test, but I enjoyed it.

Paleo-Conservative

You scored 45% Personal Liberty and 62% Economic Liberty!

A paleo-conservative believes in moderate government intervention on personal matters and little to moderate government intervention on economic matters. They support capitalism as an economic system and therefore are opposed to what they consider to be a welfare state. They believe in property rights or homestead. Some paleo-conservatives tend to have an "isolationist" bent to them, and therefore are more likely to be opposed to foreign interventions then most rightists. Paleo-conservatives are reminiscent of the "old right" of the 30's, 40's and 50's. Strong Paleo-Conservatives border on Libertarianism.



...I'm a hawkish neocon with libertarian leanings. If anything, I should probably be firmly in "conservative" box.

Your closest fit

Faith and Family Right

The Faith and Family Right take moderate positions for the most part and generally think of themselves as centrists, though their views on family values are decidedly conservative.

Faith and Family Right are proponents of personal responsibility wherein individuals assume accountability for the choices they make as well as the consequences of those choices. This is balanced with a sense of moral obligation to ensure the well-being and dignity of others, particularly the poor. Faith and Family Right express a deeper concern about poverty than most other groups and their views on income inequality and support for the redistribution of wealth are more aligned with their counterparts on the Left than with those on the Right.

While they are broadly supportive of capitalism Faith and Family Right are wary of its capacity to foster greed. They support unions as a mechanism to balance the interests of management and labour.

Faith and Family Right are most likely of any group to identify as being religious — albeit it to varying degrees — and their views tend to reflect the shared tenets of most mainstream religious beliefs. While they do not necessarily advocate for a more religious society, they generally feel that the values and principles associated with traditional religious beliefs are a sound blueprint for social cohesion.
