Your result for The Economic School of Thought Test ...
Austrian Economist
8 Keynesian, 15 Chicago, 92 Austrian
You are an Austrian Economist. You scored at least 60% on the Austrian variable. Therefore, if you don't know what an Austrian economist is, you at least show signs that you might be interested in going to http://www.mises.org and learning a bit more about them. You likely favor abolishing the minimum wage, allowing free trade and exchange of goods, and believe the government should exert minimum if any intrusion into the free market so that free individuals can interact in a way that makes the realization of the dreams come true. Acting individuals need this freedom so they will reach their full potential, not become dependent, and they need the stability of the rule of law to initiate plans for their own lives across a lifespan. You tend to be more abstract than the other economic schools, yet also more appreciative of the subjectivism postmodernism makes clear.

Your result for The Liberty Test ...
Capital Anarchism

You scored 0Positive, 79 Negative!
You believe any aspect of social control is dangerous and infringes on the rights of the individual. You think that any sort of control is oppressing and that everybody should only be responsible for them self. To you, liberty is the freedom without constriction or control. You own what you want and you do what you want. What others think it not important.

Communitarian
You scored 67Positive, 42 Negative!

You believe that community rights is the more important aspect of society and that a intervening state is important to promote stability. You think that actions need to be regulated to not disrupt society and that public services need to be owned collectively for the greater good. To you, liberty is the freedom from chaos and disorder and the freedom of society to pursue the greater good.


Your result for The Economic School of Thought Test ...
Free Keynesian
69 Keynesian, 54 Chicago, 8 Austrian

You are a Keynesian Economics student, but you also have a regard for fiscal conservatism. You should work to restore your faith in the free market, and come to understand the abstract economic laws that make the market interventionism you've acquired a taste for unnecessary.

Individualism

You scored 100% individualism, 48% fatalism, 24% hierarchy, and 8% egalitarianism!
You strongly adhere to the culture of Individualism. Individualists believe that everyone should be given a fair chance, but people should be allowed to succeed or fail based on their merit. Competition -- in the marketplace, in elections, or elsewhere -- is your forte. Individualists think nature is resilient, like a ball at the bottom of a cup, and therefore competitors can be given free rein to exploit it.

Among parties, had a 58% match (70% P, 15% E) with the GPUSA, 33% match (40% P, 25% E) with the Democratic Party, and a 20% match (10% P, 30% E) with the Republican Party.

I was deemed a left social libertarian (-5.38, -5.86), scored -6.3 on the foreign policy scale (anti-war), and scored -9.4 on the cultural scale (liberal). Generally, this appeared to place me at a position on the chat four points more libertarian than the U.S. Democratic, U.K. Labour, and Canadian New Democratic Parties. A party could not be found closer aligned than the GPUSA but the result I received was still within the Democratic spread.

Neo-Con (50% match): You were originally either apolitical or even *gasp* a liberal who was mugged by the reality of world events. You believe in peace through severely pounding those who threaten you. Your motto: "What would Hitchens do?"



You Scored as Neo-Con (70%): You have been expelled from the Liberal family for daring to hold onto the values that made you a liberal in the first place. Now you're a dirty little Neo-Con who is worse than Hitler.

Based on your answers, you are a strong supporter of a "planned society."

Highest ranking dimension: Big Government
Second highest ranking dimension: Wide Focus

Also, somewhat more democratic, individualistic, and ecocentric than autocratic, collectivist, and human-centric; exactly balanced between "literalist" and "rationalist."



46 Keynesian, 38 Chicago, and 8 Austrian

You know some Keynesian and Neoclassical economics, but are committed to neither the Keynesian or Chicago School. You're no radical . . . you have just enough interest in economics to be dangerous. At least you retained some, though, and have a working knowledge on which to build. Some of your thoughts are a bit inconsistent, though, so you probably are more of a practical thinker, just using what you think makes sense, or is most effective to the needs of the day. Don't argue with Socialists or Fascists, you're not equipped yet, but you can explain some basic things to a younger relative who may be asking why the market performs as it does.



You answered 30 out of 33 correctly — 90.91 %
Average score for this quiz during January: 73.7%



Global Kumbaya: -4 traditional, 12 liberties, -6 capitalist, -4 isolationist and 2 populist!

Where this country went wrong was in thinking we could do anything all by ourselves -- as a nation or as individuals. What we need is a resurgence of the cooperative spirit, of concern for human rights and the well-being of our fellow man, of the heights that a person's potential can reach when it's properly nourished. It's time to combine our energies into a rising tide that lifts all boats, at home and abroad. Yes, we can!

On an "F Scale" gauging susceptibility to authoritarian influences, I scored as a "whining rotter" at 1.47 - well below the score of 3.84, which was the average score of an American when the study was first conducted in 1950.


politics.beasts.org

Received the coordinates (-9.8753, 2.9002), indicating social and economic leftism somewhere in the ballpark of Old Labour in Britain, in addition to a notable leaning towards pragmatism - in this quiz characterized as positions which are utilitarian, atheistic, and generally in opposition to alternatives that are purely idealistic. My closest match on the chart was Ken Livingstone, who evidently was the first mayor of London.


My opinion about quizzes like this in general is rather mixed. More often than not I can strongly relate to but do not directly identify with the labels assigned to me. Terms and categories I associate with tend to be runners-up to, rather than top results, provided in the quizzes where multiple results are offered in order of matching percentage. It is also rather curious how results get skewed by my responses when I fancy achieving a socialist-minded goal via capitalist means or when I am sorted as libertarian when it only fits on some matters.

For the sake of comparison and contrast I most strongly identify as a social democrat.

The Enhanced-Precision Political Quiz:

Small Government Centrist

Your views call roughly the same amount of government with just a bit more liberty than we currently have in the United States today. Your views are probably best served by a nearly equal mix of Democrats and Republicans in the legislatures, as long as you choose the correct Democrats and Republicans.

Or, if you want to make sure government shrinks a bit, you could throw a few Libertarians into the mix. But just a few. The Libertarian Party calls for radical cuts in government far beyond what you want. Think of a tub of cold bathwater. To get it warm enough to be comfortable, you can add scalding hot water to bring the temperature up to ideal.

Approximately 10% of the takers of this quiz scored in this area, 36% for all within the centrist circle.

The Enhanced-Precision Political Quiz:

Small Government Centrist

Your views call roughly the same amount of government with just a bit more liberty than we currently have in the United States today. Your views are probably best served by a nearly equal mix of Democrats and Republicans in the legislatures, as long as you choose the correct Democrats and Republicans.

Or, if you want to make sure government shrinks a bit, you could throw a few Libertarians into the mix. But just a few. The Libertarian Party calls for radical cuts in government far beyond what you want. Think of a tub of cold bathwater. To get it warm enough to be comfortable, you can add scalding hot water to bring the temperature up to ideal.

Approximately 10% of the takers of this quiz scored in this area, 36% for all within the centrist circle.



Your views call for roughly same amount of goverment and liberty that we have today, with a bit more personal liberty and more government involvement in the economy.

It appears that you are relatively happy with the status quo, though you probably want a few more Democrats in office. Approximately 9% of the takers of this quiz scored in this area, 36% for all within the centrist circle.

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.

Second highest ranking dimension: Rationalist
You believe in the power of reason to solve problems. You may have felt that what the country really needs is a leader who will honest about the costs and benefits of things. You may have felt that what the country really needs is to stop wasting time and money on silly hot button issues. This may be because you have been annoyed by people who get disproportionately excited about issues that won ’t make much difference to people’s lives no matter how they are decided. It may also be because you see too many squeaky wheels getting too much grease. Others may disagree with you because they have an emotional attachment to their positions and don’t see things in an objective way. W hen politicians of your type make mistakes because what they perceive as "logical" comes across as "confusing" or "uncaring", and they can’t win people over.

Combined statement:
Based on your answers, the best government for you is "invisible government" the less you notice it the better.
