You've got Greenspoint in the completely wrong quadrant there Pabli... both my numbers were positive... upper right would be where I belong, near Tony Blair, as Big Tex pointed out. :) :bow

Yep, that finalizes it. I have the distinction of being the most right wing nation in Texas. Oh yeah! :rita :diablo

Damn, I had you there at first (No bull, look above Paul Martin and you'll see my poor eraser work) but I changed it when nobody complained about where you were on the first one. :badpc

I think I'm pretty close to Mandela, just eye-balling where it would hit on the graph. Interesting ... :cowboy

Just for fun I thought I'd revisit the quiz to see if my political leanings had changed in the past 9 months. Apparently I am now more liberal and libertarian than in June :)

Economic Left/Right: -7.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.97

Guess I'm the most liberal person on here still :lol:

Umm...Jmac...what are you doing with those guns?

Hey El Pat, unfortunately you are no longer the most liberal nation here :)

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -8.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.92

A bit to the left and further down the libertarian ladder than anyone else in Texas! Woo hoo!

I've become a notch more conservative since last year it seems.

Not sure what I have in common with Schroder though...

I found another link for several more tests here.

Test one I scored a 35, which turns me into Bob Dole.

Test two, the link was messed up.

Test three

For some reason, I can't get the picture uploaded properly :huh At any rate, It said I was most compatible with:
a ) constitution party
b ) libertarian party
c ) republican party

Test four was dumb, but said I was a "Reagan Republican".

Test five pegged me as
a ) christian democratic
b ) american conservative

Test six, conservative....DUH :crazy

22, slightly more conservative than Colin Powell.

1) Libertarian Party 73%
2) Reform Party 64%
3) Constitution Party 59%
4) Democratic Party 55%
5) Green Party 50%
6) Republican Party 32%
7) Natural Law Party 32%

a moderate Republican

#1 Liberal
#2 Right-wing Neoliberal (Thatcher)
#3 Social-Liberal

"LIBERTARIAN
LIBERTARIANS support maximum liberty in both personal and
economic matters. They advocate a much smaller government; one
that is limited to protecting individuals from coercion and violence.
Libertarians tend to embrace individual responsibility, oppose
government bureaucracy and taxes, promote private charity, tolerate
diverse lifestyles, support the free market, and defend civil liberties."

Lol, I think a lot of times the result varies based on the politics of the people who created it, of all of them I think third was the most accurate. :badger

13, between Bill and Hillary.

1) Green Party 80%
2) Reform Party 65%
3) Libertarian Party 55%
4) Natural Law Party 50%
5) Democratic Party 45%
6) Constitution Party 35%
7) Republican Party 25%

Agree with TxL about test 4, it was pretty stupid. The people listed are definitely not in the right place.

[doHTML]<Li> My #1 result for the SelectSmart.com selector, <a href="http://www.selectsmart.com/FREE/select.php?client=no"><B>POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY--determine your philosophy</A></B>, is <I>American "Liberal"</I><P> [/doHTML]

ACCORDING TO YOUR ANSWERS,

The political description that
fits you best is...LIBERAL


LIBERALS usually embrace freedom of choice in personal matters, but tend to support significant government control of the economy. They generally support a government-funded "safety net" to help the disadvantaged, and advocate strict regulation of business. Liberals tend to favor environmental regulations, defend civil liberties and free expression, support government action to promote equality, and tolerate diverse lifestyles.
