    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. ;)

    No one will be shocked by these results:

    [​IMG]

    and

    You are a

    Social Liberal
    (65% permissive)

    and an...

    Economic Liberal
    (26% permissive)

    You are best described as a:

    Democrat


    You exhibit a very well-developed sense of Right and Wrong and believe in economic fairness.

    I'm actually more to the right in this, its insane because I consider myself a left-leaning independent.

    Interesting post.

    My results surprised me as I thought I was a bit more economically permissive then it is saying. I thought the questions were too related to the environment which is a concern of mine and not enough to other aspects of regulation of business.

    My results:

    You are a
    Social Liberal
    (71% permissive)

    and an...

    Economic Liberal
    (31% permissive)

    Your political compass

    Economic Left/Right: -1.75
    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.00

    OK, now I'm a bit confused. I looked up Zapatero (who's dot is basically right underneath mine), and we agree on almost no issues. Seriously...

    I had an OKCupid account!!! I deleted it thought because I took some test and it said that I shouldn't be on that site.

    Interesting results. Not quite as conservative as once thought according to these. On the second test came sligtly left of moderate. Really that's a moderate but I always thought I swung slightly to the right.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Just a quick post, but I ran across this and thought it might be of interest to posters here.

    "World's Smallest Political Quiz"

    http://www.theadvocates.org/quizp/index.html

    My results:

    [​IMG]

    [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Your PERSONAL issues Score is 100%.
    Your ECONOMIC issues Score is 30%.
    [/FONT]

    [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]According to your answers, the political group that agrees with you most is...[/FONT]

    [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][​IMG][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT]

    [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]LIBERALS[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] 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.[/FONT][/FONT]
