Members Thunderbroom Posted June 5, 2008 Members Share Posted June 5, 2008 Years ago we used an online quiz to see where everyone at the time was politically. JacieFB made a comment in one of the current political threads how right leaning the forum is. That may or may not be the case. It certainly was far from that when we did this the last time. Since this is my thread, I'm suggesting we use the quiz linked below. This is not the one we used years ago. If you want to participate, post your results in the thread. Political Philosophy Quiz My Results: Conservative/Progressive score: 10 You are a social progressive. Capitalist Purist/Social Capitalist score: 0 You're a Capitalist Purist. Libertarian/Authoritarian score: 0 You are libertarian. Pacifist/Militarist score: 4 You're a Moderate. Overall, you would most likely fit into the category of Hardcore Libertarian. I find this to be very accurate for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members In Absentia Posted June 5, 2008 Members Share Posted June 5, 2008 Conservative/Progressive score: 2 You are a social conservative. You believe in traditional values, and care first and foremost about your country, your family, and your religion. You dislike the agenda of the left because you see them as trying to destroy these things.Capitalist Purist/Social Capitalist score: 0 You're a Capitalist Purist. You believe that the market should be completely free, and that the invisible hand of the market will make sure that the people get what they want and will do it in the most efficient way possible. You believe in small government, less taxes, and more privatization.Libertarian/Authoritarian score: 2 You are libertarian. You think that the government is making way too many unnecessary laws that are taking away our innate rights. You believe that the government's job is primarily to protect people from harming other people, but after that they should mind their own business, and if we give the government too much power in controlling our lives, it can lead to fascism.Pacifist/Militarist score: 2 You're a Pacifist. You are angered that the United States thinks it should dominate the world through its military force. You think that the only time war is necessary is when we are in direct danger of being attacked. You also believe the US spends way too much of its money on defense, as we can practically cut it in half and still easily defend ourselves, and use that money to fix all our economic problems.Overall, you would most likely fit into the category of Hardcore Republican As I said in the other thread, I think this quiz is somewhat flawed. But it's all in good fun, right?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hi.flyer Posted June 5, 2008 Members Share Posted June 5, 2008 Conservative/progressive: 12 Capitalist purist/social capitalist: 10 Libertarian/authoritarian: 2 Pacifist/militarist: 4 It described me as a being a 'hardcore Democrat'... I would probably personally identify as just liberal, independent of party affiliation. But yea, pretty good quiz. I like how it kinda has more axes (did I say that right?) than the political compass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members catphish Posted June 5, 2008 Members Share Posted June 5, 2008 EDIT: retaken to meet eligibility for the poll. Conservative/Progressive score: 11You are a social progressive. You generally consider yourself a humanist first. You probably think that religion and patriotism go too far in society. You probably consider yourself to be a citizen of Earth first rather than a citizen of your country. Capitalist Purist/Social Capitalist score: 4You are a Moderate Capitalist. You support an economy that is by and large a free market, but has public programs to help people who can't help themselves or need a little help. Pretty much you believe in the American economy how it currently is. Libertarian/Authoritarian score: 2You are libertarian. You think that the government is making way too many unnecessary laws that are taking away our innate rights. You believe that the government's job is primarily to protect people from harming other people, but after that they should mind their own business, and if we give the government too much power in controlling our lives, it can lead to fascism. Pacifist/Militarist score: 6You're a Moderate. You think that in very rare occasions, the United States should invade a country in order to make the world better by spreading democracy or ending a tyrants rule. You also think that defense is very important, and we shouldn't lower the defense budget. You think that, while the Iraq War probably was a mistake, that we can make the world a better place by sticking with it and spreading democracy in the middle east. Overall, you would most likely fit into the category of Libertarian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thunderbroom Posted June 5, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 5, 2008 As I said in the other thread, I think this quiz is somewhat flawed. But it's all in good fun, right?!? Notice that it said "most likely". I agree with hi.flyer that this is a pretty good quiz. It's much better than others I've seen online both due to the actual questions and the brevity in number.

You think that we all have certain inalienable rights that must be protected, but that sometimes laws need to be made to protect the majority's lives or quality of lives.

You probably think that religion and patriotism go too far in society. You probably consider yourself to be a citizen of Earth first rather than a citizen of your country.Capitalist Purist/Social Capitalist score: 11You're a Social Capitalist, you think that, left to its own, Capitalism leaves a lot of people behind. You think that Health Care should be free to all, that the minimum wage should be raised, and that the government should provide jobs to all that are capable of having them. You likely hated the Bush tax cuts, and believe that the middle class has gotten poorer, and the rich have gotten richer over the past several years. The far extreme of social capitalism is socialism.Libertarian/Authoritarian score: 1You are libertarian.

Members willsellout Posted June 5, 2008 Members Share Posted June 5, 2008 My results:Conservative/Progressive score: 8 You are a social moderate. You think the progressive movement is overall well meaning, but sometimes it goes too far. On issues like abortion and affirmative action, you see the negatives of both extremes on the issue. You probably value religion, but at the same time you think it should still stay separate from the government Capitalist Purist/Social Capitalist score: 8 You are a Moderate Capitalist. You support an economy that is by and large a free market, but has public programs to help people who can't help themselves or need a little help. Pretty much you believe in the American economy how it currently is Libertarian/Authoritarian score: 3 You are libertarian. You think that the government is making way too many unnecessary laws that are taking away our innate rights. You believe that the government's job is primarily to protect people from harming other people, but after that they should mind their own business, and if we give the government too much power in controlling our lives, it can lead to fascism.

You also believe the US spends way too much of its money on defense, as we can practically cut it in half and still easily defend ourselves, and use that money to fix all our economic problems.
