I find these results pretty accurate, although I feel abit more conservative than the tests make out on fiscal issues since I think businesses should be regulated to avoid exploitation.

How did yours go?

Well, considering its an American based self assessment this hardly comes as a suprise to me. Juvenile delinquents of the world unite et cetera

but quite frankly, some of the questions are badly worded, also having only 2 choices to answer some of them makes it to easy to go "err um oo, i erm, well, that one."

my results:
Overall: 70% Conservative, 30% Liberal
Social Issues: 75% Conservative, 25% Liberal
Personal Responsibility: 75% Conservative, 25% Liberal
Fiscal Issues: 100% Conservative, 0% Liberal
Ethics: 25% Conservative, 75% Liberal
Defense and Crime: 75% Conservative, 25% Liberal

but I expected as much. It's a very slanted poll, you know? Not much wriggle room if you're a moderate or a libertarian or something like that.

I was quite happy with this test as it produced a fairly accurate result. Though I feel that it should have had a third choice.

Overall, 85% liberal...suprised it wasn't 100%. I thought the question about "helping the poor and helpless" was a bit simplified though. That's not very focused and effective gamplan, is it?

There weren't enough questions on economics...I would have been far more conservative if there were.

And I always thought it strange that you considered yourself as conservative as you did.

As a classical liberal/libertarian, my result was:

Overall: 45% Conservative, 55% Liberal
Social Issues: 50% Conservative, 50% Liberal
Personal Responsibility: 25% Conservative, 75% Liberal
Fiscal Issues: 100% Conservative, 0% Liberal
Ethics: 25% Conservative, 75% Liberal
Defense and Crime: 25% Conservative, 75% Liberal

Which is pretty random, really, and indicative of the slants that people have already identified. Although, you can identify some patterns - the 100% Conservative (sic) on fiscal issues is one, as is the 100% Liberalon ethics, defence and crime. I'm not exactly sure which the social questions were that tipped the balance 50/50, but I have a feeling they're confusing basically economic issues such as welfare provision (really a question of who should look after the unfortunate, not whether they should be looked after at all) with properly social ones like whether or not people should be free to have an abortion if they choose.

For the record, questions on the Iraq war, the US justice system, international law and (to some extent) the death penalty shouldn't have anything to do with something that was really interested in discerning the correspondant's political philosophy. Sadly, this test is basically populist, and designed to shoehorn people's views into the pernicious bipartisan American view of politics. I'm not impressed.

Although, as some one pointed out it is an american quiz, so their defination of "liberal" is a bit less than ours. If it hadnt been for the gay marraige question i would have been 100% liberal.


http://www.politicalcompass.org/ is much more of an indicator if your looking for political guidence.
