Political Quiz List. Are you a Quiz Whiz?

[Goldwater]

Progressivism: 65
Socialism: 12.5
Tenderness: 28.125

Your test scores indicate that you are a tough-minded progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a jaded materialist. It appears that you are distrustful towards religion, and have a balanced attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear laissez-faire capitalist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a libertarian.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a sensible radical centrist with several strong convictions.


WTF does that last sentence mean?

[Goldwater]

Your match is -- Franklin D. Roosevelt

Franklin D. Roosevelt was born to a wealthy family in New York. Throughout life he was rarely anything if not impeccably well-dressed. He was persuasive and agreeable. He also could be a bit of a shapeshifter, particularly in his personal encounters. More than one person left a conversation believing that Roosevelt agreed with them, only to discover the opposite later in time. His working pace was fairly relaxed for a President. He had a warm and affable quality in his personal interactions that many remembered fondly. He tended to focus on the big-picture of things, rather than the details.

You are also similar to George H.W. Bush.
George H.W. Bush was the son of a Senator and grew up in Connecticut. In many ways he had a very moderate, temperate personality. He was neither particularly loud or quiet. Neither particularly friendly or aloof. He did have a strong sense of duty, joining the Navy on his 18th birthday during World War II. Although he could be a bit emotional at times, he was very stable on the average. He was intelligent but in a practical sort of way. His first great successes in life were in the oil business. No real scandals emerged during his four year term in office.

You are also similar to John F. Kennedy.
John F. Kennedy grew up in a very wealthy Massachusetts family. He had a broad mind and was particularly well-studied in political science and foreign relations. He read and traveled widely as a youth, including to places like Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. He was very charming when he wanted to be, but also had a reserved side to him. In general he seemed to be emotionally stable and conscientious, and rarely lost his temper. In World War II he displayed genuine heroism and resolve after his PT-boat was destroyed in the Pacific. He was a serial adulterer but seems to have been a fairly clean politician. He is the only President to have won a Pulitzer Prize.

You are least similar to Richard Nixon.
Richard Nixon grew up in near poverty in rural California, laboring in a strict household. He disliked social occasions and could often be quite awkward, even in small groups. Nor did he go out of his way to please people. He was shrewd rather than bookish. He was a fantastic poker player and political strategist. Yet he was also prone to distrust and outright paranoia. It was unusual for him to forgive or overlook those who had slighted him in some way. His presidency is obviously noteworthy for the Watergate scandal it produced. He wrote extensively on foreign policy in his later life.

[Goldwater]

1. Liberal
Emphasis on freedom, markets, democracy; free democratic states are good and fair, but autocratic states are immoral. We must push for democratization and liberalization around the world using open trade and international organizations: all people should be free. Wilson, Reagan, Kant, Shultz. (100%)         
2. Neoconservative
Emphasis on civilizations, democracy, strength; states act through civilizational and cultural means for their own advancement. We must spread democratic institutions and markets to other countries, but also include a very strong military establishment, democracy is a tool of diplomacy and war, ultimately democracies will side with us and we must side with them, although some of our allies may be non-democratic. Bush-43, Kristol, Wolfowitz. (70%)         
3. Neoliberal
Emphasis on cooperation, consensus, free trade; cooperative, democratic states are more advantageous than rogue autocracies. To secure our own borders, we should make sure other countries are democratic, free-trading, and participate in international organizations: a much more pragmatic version of Liberal. Clinton, Fukuyama, Marshall. (70%)

[Goldwater]

Social: Mike Huckabee (?!?!?! I said that I'm pro gay-marriage, pro-drug legalization, in favor of legalizing euthanasia, and for allowing abortion in the first trimester....?!?!?!?!?!?!?)

Strange, I said the same things and got Clinton...

[Goldwater]

Social: Mike Huckabee (?!?!?! I said that I'm pro gay-marriage, pro-drug legalization, in favor of legalizing euthanasia, and for allowing abortion in the first trimester....?!?!?!?!?!?!?)

Strange, I said the same things and got Clinton...

I've been looking it up. It probably has to do with the fact that I'm against "free" birth control (there is no such thing as a free lunch...), against removing religious references, in favour of the death penalty, against a federal law that prohibits states from flying the confederate flag (even though I think states themselves should choose not to fly it) etc. etc.

Still, I have a hard time imagining Huckabee considering himself even somewhat close to me with regard to social issues...

So far, the only difference I see between is that I voted no to the flag question.

Hmm. I also voted in favor of the "Should a business, based on religious beliefs, be able to deny service to a customer?"-question: I think any business should have the right to deny service to any customer. The public should simply boycott racist/homophobic companies. No role for the government there.

And then we've discussed all the questions on social issues

Yep, same here. I guess the only difference between Hillary and Huckabee is the Confederate flag.

[Goldwater]

I forgot to post my party result's on that quiz:

Libertarians : 88%
Constitution Party: 85%
Republicans: 84%
Democrats: 71%
Socialist: 63%

Foreign Policy: Constitution Party (lol, WTF? )
The Economy: Republican
Healthcare: Libertarians
Social: Libertarians
The Environment: Republicans
Immigration: Green Party
Domestic Policy: Libertarians
Education: Libertarians, Constitution Party, and Republicans

Ideology: Libertarian (A bit more right-wing than left-wing, and really close to the centrist area)

[Goldwater]

Liberal

You placed 63% difference on action versus inaction and 88% importance on consent!

Your results indicate that you believe:
- Minding your own business is appropriate at times, but there is some imperative to help your fellow man. People have a responsibility to others, but not an all-encompassing one.
- So-called "consensual crimes" are not wrong and should not be treated as such. People have the freedom to deviate from the majority or to make potentially poor decisions.

You seem to be a big believer in personal liberty, with a few exceptions--perhaps you think that absolute freedom would be nice, but some sacrifice is necessary to hold society together. Or perhaps you believe in liberty, but think it's better for people to voluntarily help others.
Some would argue that these exceptions to liberty make your beliefs inconsistent.

[Goldwater]

Wilsonian
You scored 9 Force, 5 Institutions, and 3 Ideals!



You are a true believer, a wild-eyed zealot. You aren't afraid to use force to achieve your ends, though you'd prefer to use the UN, and you truly believe that a country's foreign policy should follow its ideals. You mean well, but know this: the road to Baghdad is paved with good intentions. You are most likely young and idealistic, and you probably trust whatever your leaders say. After all, they would never lie to you.

[Goldwater]

The Resistance
Achtung! You are 38% brainwashworthy, 18% antitolerant, and 43% blindly patriotic

Welcome to the Resistance (Der Widerstand)! You believe in freedom, justice, equality, and your country, and you can't be converted to the the dark side.

Breakdown: your Blind Patriotism levels are borderline unhealthy, but you show such a love of people from everywhere and a natural resistance to brainwashing, you would probably focus your energy to fight the Fuehrer with furor, so to speak.

Conclusion: born and raised in Germany in the early 1930's, you would have taken up ARMS against the oppressors. Or even your friends' oppressors. Congratulations!

Less than 5% of all test takers earn a spot in the Resistance!

[Goldwater]

Total Libertarian
You scored 36% economically responsible, 76% self-destructively free and 62% expressively free.



Rules only hinder progress! Free market, free speech, free bodies!

Economy (conservative): The government shouldn't baby individuals through the predictable storms of supply and demand. The system will naturally readjust itself to problems without government intervention. Furthermore, imposing arbitrary rules against success is actually unfair as it ignores the hard work of the successful.

Personal Freedom (liberal): If it only involves me, what right does anyone have to tell me no? A person should be allowed to be as stupid and harmful to themselves as they want, and letting the government go in, imposing majority morality, is dangerously tyrannical.

Expressive Freedom (liberal): This is a free country, isn't it? Why should my voice be silenced, just because you don' t like what it has to say? If I can do it in private, I can do it in public. You're always free to leave. Hampering a person's right to free expression is dangerously tyrannical.

[Goldwater]

Apparently I'm in line with Obama on economics, more socially libertarian than Ron Paul, and closest to Rocky Anderson overall.

[Goldwater]

Right Libertarian

You're on the right and libertarian quadrant of the political spectrum! You prize individualism and personal liberty above all else. You believe in private property and the free market. You tend to be patriotic but you're sceptical of the state and you find little to no value in government institutions. You believe that success depends on the individual's ability to pull themselves up by their own boot straps and take advantage of the opportunities they have. You see taxes as a form of oppression and you believe that the greatest threat to freedom is big government. You believe in a society of independent and hard-working individuals who take care of themselves. You want big brother out of your bedroom, out of your bank account, and off your property!


That chart is ridiculous. Apparently "Activism" is now an ideology, and the term "Progressivism" now refers to a right wing ideology that falls somewhere in between conservatism and libertarianism.

[Goldwater]

NeoLiberalism
You scored -1Moral Order, -11 Moral Rules!

Neoliberalism is a political philosophy and a political-economic movement beginning in the 1970s that de-emphasizes or rejects government intervention in the economy, focusing instead on achieving progress and even social justice by more free-market methods, especially an emphasis on economic growth, as measured by changes in real gross domestic product.

[Goldwater]

The Minarchist
46 Personal rights, 18 Morality, 30 Social justice, 19 Market Control

AGSD: Activist, proGressive, Self-reliant, Deregulating.
Live free or die! You're a government minimalist. You agree with the sentiment, "that government is best which governs least."

A basic government that maintains law and order and defends the nation from attack is all you're really looking for. You don't trust the government in your bedroom or near your wallet; either way it will probably put its hands where you don't want them!

You also feel that most people are perfectly capable of running their own lives without the government's help. And those who get into trouble can get help from their families or private charities.

Of course freedom is messy. The poor have little to no social safety net in your world. But, if they pull themselves up by their bootstraps, read some Ayn Rand, and get a damn job, life will be better in no time!

As for voting, you probably hold your nose when you get to the polls. For a while, Republicans catered more to your tastes than Democrats. But now that George W decided to turn the GOP into the party of Big Government, the Democrats aren't looking so bad. There is always the Libertarian Party, if you don't mind throwing away your vote.

If you scored under 10 on all four categories, then you, my friend, are an anarchist. You're probably taking this test from your heavily armed compound, waiting for the ATF and FBI to bust down the doors. Or you're trying to push a safety pin through your upper lip, while listening to the Sex Pistols. Don't forget to sanitize that thing!

Notable Minarchists are Thomas Jefferson, Milton Friedman, Ayn Rand, Barry Goldwater, and Ron Paul.

Right-Leaning Libertarian Multilateralist Cosmopolitan Progressive

Collectivism score: -33%
Authoritarianism score: -50%
Internationalism score: 50%
Tribalism score: -33%
Liberalism score: 50%


Highest ranking dimension: Individualist
You believe in the right of an individual to "be themself" in thought and deeds. You may have felt that what the country really needs is a politician with the nerve to tell people when it comes to controlling others, they should mind their own business. This may be because you enjoy a diversity of experiences and don ’t get offended easily. It may also be because you’ve seen people be persecuted. Others may disagree with you because they feel a right to protect what they see as community values. When politicians of your type make mistakes it is often because they underestimate people’s need for sta bility and safety.

Second highest ranking dimension: Small Government
You believe in a government that keeps order but otherwise stays out of the way. You may have felt that what the country really needs is a government with the courage to take on some of the "sacred cows" of government spending. This may be because you have been irked by how much you pay in taxes. It may also be because you feel that excessive government support programs reward those with no initiative. Others may disagree with you because they see some people as having the system stacked against them. When politicians of your type make mistakes it is because they find it difficult to maintain the "tough love" approach when their friends and supporters ask for help.

Combined statement:
Based on your answers, you would prefer a state for pioneers, innovators and rugged individualism.

[Goldwater]

Radical-Conservative Line: 18

Republican - This includes a large bulk of modern-day American politicians, whether Republican or Democratic.  This includes values of basic racial equality but not necessarily affirmative action.  It's a strong rejection of racism and a strong embrace of democracy, but not into the social levelling or hyper-secularism of the democrat level.

Liberal-Populist Line: 18

Libertarian - Many people in the US Libertarian Party are minor heretics or simply adhere to certain social controls while remaining otherwise nearly anarchical.  These people, in addition to a number of especially independent Democrats and Republicans, fit into the libertarian category.  They do not seek the philosophical uber-consistency of the anarchists, but they propose most or nearly all of the same ideas and policies.  Someone in the ACLU or the Republican Liberty Caucus would likely fall here.

Capitalist-Socialist Line: 23

Free Marketeer - Accepting that the market is the fairest and most effective device for setting wages and prices, those in this category support freer trade, deregulation, privatization, market reforms, tax cuts and economic liberalization.  This category includes Reagan and most Republicans, tax cutters, free traders, and those seeking to shrink governemnt and encourage commerce and business.  They associate economic success with much less government interference, low inflation, easy access to trade and business creation, and wealth creation.
Liberal
You scored 29 Equality, 79 Liberty, and 29 Stability!

You think liberty is important both for yourself and for all of humanity. You respect others and think it is important that everyone be given the opportunity to make decisions for themselves rather than have authority figures tell them what is best. The autonomy of every person is important to you but you think there are times in which personal action needs to be limited. As such you recognise that there is a role for government as long as it depends on the consent of the governed – this makes parliamentary democracy important to you. You prefer the role of government in economics and society to be small. In practice you will tolerate public sector activity as long as it is efficient and allows you to get on with your life. You are likely to advocate for both a predominantly free-market economy and a cosmopolitan and permissive culture.

Centrist
You scored 53% Personal Liberty and 56% Economic Liberty!



A centrist believes in moderate government intervention in both personal and economic matters. They tend to be somewhat ambiguous, as they may have the oppurtunity to pick the side of any group surrounding them on any given issue. They generally believe in a moderate social safety net and what they consider to be a balanced stance on personal liberty. Centrists tend to emphasize compromise and cooperation between partisan groups.


(Apparently I'm a moderate hero now. )

Liberal Capitalist
78 Social and 88 Economic!

Your score was quite high on the social axis, but your score on the economic axis was very high. This means that while you prefer to live and let live, you place the interests of business, corporation and the economy at large before the right of the individual.

This is not to say that you do not value the right of the individual, only that you tend to consider the economy to be the 'greater good'. However, to maintain the health of that greater good, you may believe that regulation on business to promote and maintain competition in the market is a good thing, while strictly it is against the principles of a free market. Others may believe that trade tariffs to protect local industry, again the antithesis of a free market, are good. As a rule, however, your concern is in letting businesses do whatever the hell they like.

This position is occupied by most of the US Democratic Party, by politicians such as Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, the UK Conservative Party's official position (though many members are much more authoritarian)
