Default The worlds smallest political quiz

THIS IS INTERESTING



Go ahead, give it a shot. Don't be surprised at the results.

You'll be asked just 10 questions, and then it instantly tells you where you stand politically. It shows your position as a red dot on a "political map" so you'll see exactly where you score.
The most interesting thing about the Quiz is that it goes beyond the Democrat, Republican, Independent. The Quiz has gotten a lot of praise. The Washington Post said it has "gained respect as a valid measure of a person's political leanings." The Fraser Institute said it's "a fast, fun, and accurate assessment of a person's overall political views." Suite University said it is the "most concise and accurate political quiz out there."

Again, it's at: http://www.theadvocates.org/quiz.html

See if you land where you think you are politically.

Yep, this quiz has been around for quite a few years... I consistently score at the top of the chart (libertarian) whenever I take it...

BTW, you didn't mention where YOU scored on the quiz, April!

Centrist, which is weird because I thought I was as left wing as you could get. Maybe I'm becoming wiser with age.

*sigh*

It pains me to hear people referring to the term "liberal" as if it was a dirty word... will someone please tell me why that seems to happen so often?!?!

(BTW, I scored solidly in the "LIBERAL" corner, thank you very much)

Dead center of Libertarian.


as for liberal being a dirty word...

Liberals usually 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.

That's what I don't like about them.
