I think my historical comparison was Milton Friedman, which is completely unsurprising.

    in general i don't really like these tests. like this question: "Social justice should be the foundation of any economic system." does that refer to an economic system that equalizes wealth or one that equalizes opportunity? because in the first case i would select strongly disagree, but in the second i would likely select strongly agree.

    In whichever economic system you think best, is my take. All the questions are looking for your ideals. So, in an ideal economy (whatever that is to you), should social justice be the foundation?

    right. but in "scoring" that question, the term social justice is pretty vague and depending on the definition the results are very different. or maybe i'm just thinking about it the wrong way.

    Bump.

    Given the policies enacted in these first few months of the Obama Administration, I thought this thread was worth bumping. In fact, I'd ask that this thread is stickied. There are new people contributing to this forum so that people who are new to this forum have the opportunity to take these tests and see the results of those of us who have already taken it.

    Yeah, that's reasonable. Since this forum is so much about politics, it's a bit like the "check-in" thread on the main forum.
