Political Quiz List. Are you a Quiz Whiz?

[Associate Justice PiT]

Conservative/Progressive score: 4
You are a social moderate. You think the progressive movement is overall well meaning, but sometimes it goes too far. On issues like abortion and affirmative action, you see the negatives of both extremes on the issue. You probably value religion, but at the same time you think it should still stay separate from the government

Capitalist Purist/Social Capitalist score: 8
You are a Moderate Capitalist. You support an economy that is by and large a free market, but has public programs to help people who can't help themselves or need a little help. Pretty much you believe in the American economy how it currently is.

Libertarian/Authoritarian score: 0
You are libertarian. You think that the government is making way too many unnecessary laws that are taking away our innate rights. You believe that the government's job is primarily to protect people from harming other people, but after that they should mind their own business, and if we give the government too much power in controlling our lives, it can lead to fascism.

Pacifist/Militarist score: 2
You're a Pacifist. You are angered that the United States thinks it should dominate the world through its military force. You think that the only time war is necessary is when we are in direct danger of being attacked. You also believe the US spends way too much of its money on defense, as we can practically cut it in half and still easily defend ourselves, and use that money to fix all our economic problems.

Overall, you would most likely fit into the category of Moderate

     This test sucked. It pegged me as being socially conservative & economically socialist, which is as far from the truth as it gets. It only got it right in pegging me as a hardcore libertarian (& even then, I'm not nearly as extreme as the test thinks I am).

Chuck Baldwin -- 61.11%
Bob Barr -- 50.93%
John McCain -- 44.44%
Ralph Nader -- 40.74%

YOUR SCORE

Your scored -0.5 on Moral Order and -4.5 on Moral Rules.



The following categories best match your score (multiple responses are possible):

System: Liberalism
Ideology: Capital Democratism
Party: Democratic Party
Presidents: Richard Nixon
04' Election: Michael Badnarik
08' Election: Ron Paul



Of the 475,031 respondents (5,454 on Facebook):

3% are close to you.
12% are more conservative.
7% are more liberal.
52% are more socialist.
28% are more authoritarian.

     I like how it simultaneously suggested the Democratic Party & Richard Nixon. Considering how close to the border I landed, suggesting a party makes no sense anyway.

[Associate Justice PiT]

On Non-Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Centrist (47).
On Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Moderate Conservative (67).

     For questions 7 & 20, all of the answers sucked.

[Associate Justice PiT]

On Non-Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Centrist (47).
On Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Moderate Conservative (67).

     For questions 7 & 20, all of the answers sucked.

I actually thought those represented most of the mainstream positions fairly well. Personally I found the answers for 11 and 17 to be pretty weak though.

     My bad, I actually meant 11 when I said 20. I also found the choices for 9 to be pretty weak.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     31 (Jack Kemp). Too simplistic, all in all.

[Associate Justice PiT]

You got 98 points.

Looky here, we've got a Center-Right person. You're most likely a Christian who's displeased at the lack of moral fiber in today's society, right? Even though you are constantly berated by the media, your policies likely are the best for a strong America. For fun, here are where some other major political figures would score (out of 144): George W. Bush: 94 John Kerry: 58 Ralph Nader: 12 Howard Dean: 34 Colin Powell: 82 Joe Lieberman: 70 John Edwards: 52 Harold Browne: 90 Michael Savage: 108 Me: 104

     Evidently the quizmaker has no concept of libertarianism.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I gamed it to see what he would say about a far-leftist:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

     Furthermore, there's no far-rightist blurb. Even if you score 144 points, he'll say that you are center-right.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Your Voting Record score is 30 out of a possible 100. I was 10% to the left of Senate Republicans & 14% to the left of House Republicans in all.

[Associate Justice PiT]

Your Issue Profile: 32% Obama, 68% McCain



When it gets down to it, you tend to best match John McCain.
But he's not the perfect candidate for you, and you may not be sold on him yet.

Obama shares a good number of your views too, so you might want to give him a second look.
It all comes down to which issues matter to you the most.

Should You Vote for Obama or McCain?

     Many of the questions had two pretty bad choices though.

[Associate Justice PiT]

Um, this cant be right.

Obama 100%
McCain 6%

Hahaha, that's ridiculous!

Considering how I opposed universal healthcare for all Americans, repealing the tax cuts, government mandated global warming policies, and the US having direct talks with Iran, while supporting the current Iraq strategy, privatizing Social Security, school vouchers, free trade, and offshore drilling, I can't understand why I support Obama 100% of the time. I did agree with him on abortion, stem cell research, withdrawing the troops in Iraq, and not banning same sex marriage.

     Clearly your computer is trying to send you a message.

[Associate Justice PiT]

Here's a good one to add:

http://glassbooth.org/home/election/1/

     I got:

Bob Barr	74%
Ralph Nader	56%
Cynthia McKinney	54%
John McCain	49%
Barack Obama	44%

     Um, okay? Not enough Baldwin though.

Enterpriser
Based on your answers to the questionnaire, you most closely resemble survey respondents within the Enterpriser typology group. This does not mean that you necessarily fit every group characteristic or agree with the group on all issues.

Enterprisers represent 9 percent of the American public, and 10 percent of registered voters.

Basic Description
As in previous studies conducted in 1987, 1994 and 1999, this extremely partisan Republican group’s politics are driven by a belief in the free enterprise system and social values that reflect a conservative agenda. Enterprisers are also the strongest backers of an assertive foreign policy, which includes nearly unanimous support for the war in Iraq and strong support for such anti-terrorism efforts as the Patriot Act.

Defining Values
Assertive on foreign policy and patriotic; anti-regulation and pro-business; very little support for government help to the poor; strong belief that individuals are responsible for their own well being. Conservative on social issues such as gay marriage, but not much more religious than the nation as a whole. Very satisfied with personal financial situation.

Who They Are
Predominantly white (91%), male (76%) and financially well-off (62% have household incomes of at least $50,000, compared with 40% nationwide). Nearly half (46%) have a college degree, and 77% are married. Nearly a quarter (23%) are themselves military veterans. Only 10% are under age 30.

Lifestyle Notes
59% report having a gun in their homes; 53% trade stocks and bonds in the stock market, and 30% are small business owners – all of which are the highest percentages among typology groups. 48% attend church weekly; 36% attend bible study or prayer group meetings.

2004 Election
Bush 92%, Kerry 1%. Bush’s most reliable supporters (just 4% of Enterprisers did not vote)

Party ID
81% Republican, 18% Independent/No Preference, 1% Democrat (98% Rep/LeanRep)

Media Use
Enterprisers follow news about government and politics more closely than any other group, and exhibit the most knowledge about world affairs. The Fox News Channel is their primary source of news (46% cite it as a main source) followed by newspapers (42%) radio (31%) and the internet (26%).

     Pretty good, though the overwhelming majority of people I know in this category are pro-gay rights.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I haven't done it in a while, so I did the candidate calculator again:

Your Top Match
Chuck Baldwin (Constitution)
57.78% match

Your Other Top Matches
John McCain (Republican) - 55.56%
Bob Barr (Libertarian) - 53.33%

Middle of the Pack
Ralph Nader (Independant) - 33.33%
Cynthia McKinney (Green Party) - 24.44%

Bottom of the Barrel
Barack Obama (Democrat) - 18.89%

[Associate Justice PiT]

     32/33. I got really lucky considering the volume of economics questions. Also, the Sputnik question had no business being there, though it was easy anyway.

[Associate Justice PiT]

1) Libertarian Party    86%
2) Constitution Party   67%
3) Reform Party         48%
4) Republican Party     43%
5) Democratic Party     33%
6) Green Party          29%
7) Natural Law Party    19%

[Associate Justice PiT]

The best political quiz that I know is that of On The Issues (the quiz is here: http://www.ontheissues.org/quizeng/XPolitics/start.asp)

The test rates me as a hard core conservative.

     For some reason that test considers me to be a free-market-leaning moderate.

[Associate Justice PiT]

Libertarian
97% Liberal, 78% Capitalist, 73% Radical

You scored in the top ten percent for Legal Equality. This would probably make you a Libertarian. You just want to be left alone by the state in terms of everyday choices and probably believe in a wall between Church and State. You scored above 50 percent in the Capitalism rating. I have no way of knowing how high you scored, but at the very minimum you believe in fairly free movement of capital, and if you get very high you may believe in trickle down economics is the savior of any and all economics. You scored in the Republican area of the radical line. You probably hate racism but don't necessarily believe in Affirmative Action. Equality, but not at all costs may be applicable. You're a mainstream Libertarian. You're all for capitalism, and equality under the law but you're not sure the state has the right to force social equality.

     Facepalm at the bolded section. Hardly any of the questions have anything to do with supply-side economics & I answered none of them even considering it.
