The quiz has become less accurate.  The extremes it makes you choose from and the way it phrases questions makes you choose between

a) The extreme libertarian way
b) The extreme big government way

I agree that I am for a sizeable government and some social controls.  That said, II scored the highest possible on big government, but I guarantee that there are many here that are more socialistic than me.

This quiz kinda blows. It says I'm a hardcore libertarian when in fact I'm hard right. Bad questions...

my problem with it is that it puts John Ford as more economically liberal than me because I oppose corporate welfare.

And I am most certainly not more liberal than you on economics.

Your Personal issues Score is 50%.
Your Economic issues Score is 60%.

I remain in the centre, close to WMS. Smiley

But, yes, the test has gotten worse I'd say. Though it was never all that good...too libertarian questions.

I think this tests swings Right Conservatives towards libertarian to try and get them to switch parties..Here is another example. I have yet to see one Republican land in the Right Conservative arena.
