I'm a cultural liberal, mostly.

I think I have to go on a major rant about ideological identity once I'm done with finals in a few weeks.  I may be alone on this board, but I'm increasingly finding the idea of scoring  or labeling  political ideology to be somewhat absurd outside of it being a self-fulfilling prophecy.

It's certainly true that the word "ideology" has been impressively debased here.

I suspect most of us are culturally conservative. I certainly am.
eh I'd say a slight majority(at least a plurality) of Democrats/Libertarians here are culturally liberal.

Good one for some of us long-time Forumites:  TexasGurl.  I was in Fantasy Politics a while back and she struck down a lot of liberal/progressive things despite an almost perfect liberal score.

Ah, yes. It is. Who'd have thought?

The fact that SPC the anarchist is only -3 socially is also strange.

I am cultural conservative and oppose both state-sponsered social conservatism and state-sponsered social liberalism. That probably explains my social score.

     I am culturally fairly conservative & I have a social score of -8. Not to mention the social issue questions they ask you are pretty uniformly of the variety where the left-wing supports the small state solution (i.e. there's no Gun Control or Soda in Schools questions).

Actually considering that the social scale measures "social libertarianism", wouldn't supporting gun control make one more "authoritarian", ie add more social points?

Yes. That is why it isn't included.
