The Torie pin below. And no, I am not a swing voter this time. I consider Obama unacceptable as POTUS.

Does anyone know of any good tests on foreign policy?  It seems like all of these are economic and social, and I'd like to know where I fit in foreign policy.

Liberals:

Are wary of American arrogance and hypocrisy
Trace much of today's anti-American hatred to previous US foreign policies.
Believe political solutions are inherently superior to military solutions
Believe the US is morally bound to intervene in humanitarian crises
Oppose American imperialism
Support international law, alliances, and agreements
Encourage US participation in the UN
Believe US economic policies must help lift up the world's poor
Historical liberal: President Woodrow Wilson

Modern liberal: President Jimmy Carter

I consider myself more of a Neo-Liberal(read Clinton foriegn policy) mixed with some things that never read on a normal foriegn relations quiz, I call it Social Democratic foriegn policy and is actually very ideological(democracy, labor reform is key, etc). It is pretty much the opposite of foriegn policy during Cold War.(overthrow democratic nations that lean socialist, support dictatorshipd if they are against Soviets, do things that are best for America, not democracy)

I somehow got it to work:
Realists:

Are guided more by practical considerations than ideological vision
Believe US power is crucial to successful diplomacy - and vice versa
Don't want US policy options unduly limited by world opinion or ethical considerations
Believe strong alliances are important to US interests
Weigh the political costs of foreign action
Believe foreign intervention must be dictated by compelling national interest
Historical realist: President Dwight D. Eisenhower

Modern realist: Secretary of State Colin Powell
No surprises there.

Neocon quiz results

Based on your answers, you are most likely a liberal. Read below to learn more about each foreign policy perspective.

Based on your answers, you are most likely an isolationist. Read below to learn more about each foreign policy perspective.

Isolationist

The term isolationist is most often used negatively; few people who share its beliefs use it to describe their own foreign policy perspective. They believe in "America first." For them, national sovereignty trumps international relations. Many unions, libertarians, and anti-globalization protesters share isolationist tenets.
Isolationists…

    * Are wary of US involvement in the United Nations
    * Oppose international law, alliances, and agreements
    * Believe the US should not act as a global cop
    * Support trade practices that protect American workers
    * Oppose liberal immigration
    * Oppose American imperialism
    * Desire to preserve what they see as America's national identity and character

Historical isolationist: President Calvin Coolidge
Modern isolationist: Author/Commentator Pat Buchanan

-------------

Not a great test but largely accurate, I like to think of myself as a pragmatic Isolationist. Some of the answers were hilarious.

Paleo-Liberal

You scored 65% Personal Liberty and 49% Economic Liberty!

A paleo-liberal believes in low to moderate government intervention on personal matters and moderate government intervention on economic matters. They tend to be opposed to war, police powers and victimless crimes. They believe in a social safety net, but to a lesser extent then most leftists. They generally believe in protecting personal liberty. They support self-ownership and privacy. Some Paleo-liberals may lean towards embracing capitalism as an economic system. Paleo-liberals are reminiscent of the attitude of the "new left" of the 60's and 70's. Strong Paleo-Liberals border on Libertarianism.

Compared To Other Takers

    * 56/100 You scored 65% on Personal, higher than 56% of your peers.
    * 68/100 You scored 49% on Economic, higher than 68% of your peers.

Libertarian

You scored 70% Personal Liberty and 63% Economic Liberty!

A libertarian believes in little to moderate government intervention on both personal and economic matters. They generally believe in a government that is small and limited to the extent of protecting people's liberty. They tend to be opposed to war, police powers, victimless crimes, foreign intervention and what they consider to be a welfare state. They support both property rights and self-ownership. More moderate libertarians may use a more utilitarian or gradualist approach, while the more heavily minimalist libertarians allow less room for compromise in a direction that they consider to be away from liberty. Libertarians generally support capitalism as an economic system. Libertarian thought tends to be individualist in nature.

Compared To Other Takers

    * 67/100 You scored 70% on Personal, higher than 67% of your peers.
    * 83/100 You scored 63% on Economic, higher than 83% of your peers.

I loved Questions 87 and 141.

Neo-Liberal

You scored 45% Personal Liberty and 23% Economic Liberty!

A neo-liberal believes in moderate government intervention on personal matters and moderate to high government intervention on economic matters. They believe in a social safety net or welfare state and try to balance personal liberty with safety or security. Some neo-liberals believe in more foreign intervention or war then most other leftists. Others are more like Centrist Democrats. More authoritarian-leaning Neo-liberals (such as personal 40/economic 30) are the result of a "fusion" between "old left" and "new right" tendencies.

Well...

Social Liberal
You scored 68% Personal Liberty and 32% Economic Liberty!



A social liberal believes in little to moderate government intervention on personal matters and moderate to high government intervention on economic matters. They tend to be opposed to war, police powers, victimless crimes, and what they may consider to be a corporate state or rogue capitalism. They generally support personal liberty and believe in a social safety net or welfare state. They support self-ownership and privacy. Social liberals are essentially the "mainstream" left and left of center.

Weird.

This test is awful.

Communist

You scored 56% Personal Liberty and 18% Economic Liberty!

A Communist believes in moderate government intervention on personal matters and extremely heavy government intervention on economic matters. They are strongly opposed to capitalism and try to balance personal liberty with safety or security. They believe in an extremely strong welfare state in the name of equalizing everything. Communist thought is based on the notion of pure equality and collective ownership - it is economically collectivist.

Xahar, you perhaps want to switch your result with me. I am not a communist.

I took a Canadian political test, which was predictably awful. The person who wrote it is stupid. According to the thing, I'm a Harper/Dumont Conservative (aka, a fascist). Lolz.

http://politicalquiz.net/

Conservative/Progressive score: 8
You are a social moderate. You think the progressive movement is overall well meaning, but sometimes it goes too far. On issues like abortion and affirmative action, you see the negatives of both extremes on the issue. You probably value religion, but at the same time you think it should still stay separate from the government

Capitalist Purist/Social Capitalist score: 5
You are a Moderate Capitalist. You support an economy that is by and large a free market, but has public programs to help people who can't help themselves or need a little help. Pretty much you believe in the American economy how it currently is.

Libertarian/Authoritarian score: 0
You are libertarian. You think that the government is making way too many unnecessary laws that are taking away our innate rights. You believe that the government's job is primarily to protect people from harming other people, but after that they should mind their own business, and if we give the government too much power in controlling our lives, it can lead to fascism.

Pacifist/Militarist score: 4
You're a Moderate. You think that in very rare occasions, the United States should invade a country in order to make the world better by spreading democracy or ending a tyrants rule. You also think that defense is very important, and we shouldn't lower the defense budget. You think that, while the Iraq War probably was a mistake, that we can make the world a better place by sticking with it and spreading democracy in the middle east.

Overall, you would most likely fit into the category of Libertarian.

Foreign Policy results are way off and I wish there were more economic questions. Better than most though.

On issues like abortion and affirmative action, you see the negatives of both extremes on the issue. You probably value religion, but at the same time you think it should still stay separate from the government

Capitalist Purist/Social Capitalist score: 12
You're a Social Capitalist, you think that, left to its own, Capitalism leaves a lot of people behind. You think that Health Care should be free to all, that the minimum wage should be raised, and that the government should provide jobs to all that are capable of having them. You likely hated the Bush tax cuts, and believe that the middle class has gotten poorer, and the rich have gotten richer over the past several years. The far extreme of social capitalism is socialism.

Libertarian/Authoritarian score: 4
You're a Moderate. You think that we all have certain inalienable rights that must be protected, but that sometimes laws need to be made to protect the majority's lives or quality of lives. You might think that the 2nd amendment isn't necessary anymore because letting everyone a gun is extremely dangerous to the community. You might also be against illegal drug use or public pornography because of its possible harmful effects to society.

Pacifist/Militarist score: 8
You're a Moderate. You think that in very rare occasions, the United States should invade a country in order to make the world better by spreading democracy or ending a tyrants rule. You also think that defense is very important, and we shouldn't lower the defense budget. You think that, while the Iraq War probably was a mistake, that we can make the world a better place by sticking with it and spreading democracy in the middle east.

Overall, you would most likely fit into the category of Democrat.
