World's Smallest Political Quiz

edited April 2007 in A Moving Train
While cruising wikipedia, I stumbled across this quiz. Thought it might be interesting to see where the MTers stand politically. I know you will all be surprised to learn that the quiz 'labeled' me a liberal. ;) Although, I teetered between agree and maybe on one of the economic questions. An agree response would have 'labeled' me as a liberal libertarian (what a tongue twister!)

    about what i expected:

    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.

    It's no surprise to me, I've always been liberal.
    Don't let the world bring you down, not everyone here is that fucked up and cold. Remember why you came and while you're alive, experience the warmth before you grow old.

    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.

    I am a liberal at 70 % personal (i dont know what the ID card is about) and 10% economic.

    And with the above description, I take it as a compliment. :)

    Peace

    I'm a left-leaning liberal. 80% personal, 30% economic.

    It's weird; when I was younger, I was a staunch conservative. Now I'm moving to he left. Isn't that the opposite of the way these things usually go? It reminds of the old saying, "If you're not a liberal in your 20s, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative in your 30s or 40s, you've got no brain."

    I guess I'm brainless (not a surprise to those who know me).

    I don't know if this is the same "test" I took a few months ago, I don't have the time, egotistical star photographer that I am, (hehee), anyway...in that test I was reckoned a "socialist libertarian".

    And I reckon that's what I am.

    I almost got the same score as you guys. I got 100% personal & 40% economic (I think). I was a maybe away from being a liberal libertarian.

    Centrist does not mean open minded. You can be a liberal and be open minded. You can be a conservative and be open minded. You can be a libertarian and be open minded. This "quiz" simply highlights people's tolerance for government and people's basic philosophy of the role of government.
