The major liberal party in the US is mostly right wing? This country is messed up. Anyway I took the test a while ago and got a score towards the bottom left.

They should this test out the front of polling booths, so the people who are unsure about who to vote for can get some guidance.

Second, the assumption is made that you want your personal preferences enforced.  I found that I could answer the questions in two distinct ways--in accordance with what I think (or feel), or in accordance with what I actually want government to do (as little as possible, as it happens).  In the latter case, I'm way off in the lower-right quadrant (7.88,-6.82), in the former, I'm a bit more centrist.

I did find it interesting (though not at all surprising) that the lower-right quadrant is completely devoid of political "leaders." Smile


I agree. I have a few conservative views that I'm glad the government doesn't enforce.

Not sure what country you're from, East, but in the last Australian federal election there was only one political party in the lower right quadrant and they were wiped out.

That probably means that concerning economic matters you are a centrist and concerning social matters you are mildly/moderately liberal.

Bollocks.


I agree - according to that test i'm a "right libertarian". I believe in strong economic freedom AND strong personal freedom.

Any government service should respect the division of church and state. That is why a public school should not endorse (or prohibit) any religious practice by students. Students are free to study their own religious texts or start a bible club etc, they are not free to hold a class prayer (at least in the US, in the UK things are still a bit backwards in that department - I have fond memories of refusing to bow my head to the christian god in school and getting in trouble).

Public education (as in state-owned) is "adequate". For many who have great talent in a particular area (hmm, I wonder who could have an obsessive interest in something.......) it is often severely lacking.

You'll note I said that it is adequate, of course a total lack of education is much worse. Personally I detest academic work.

do you mean public as in....state..or as in....you pay a fee to attend?


Surely ones that you pay to attend are private, not public. A government-funded school is funded with public funds - i.e taxpayer money from the general public.
