The Best Political Quiz I have ever taken.

[Col.Foley]

http://politicalquiz.net/

Well, I was just very impressed as to how this person has chosen to do this political quiz and divide the issues into four different categories. Now this is for Americans, does not mean Europeans cannot do this, but the results are more skewered for an American audience. But I was generally impressed with the conclusions, the questions, and how they are rated, with only one flaw that I can see in it that might bare...writing him out to prove it . the four areas of categorization are Social Conservative/ Progressive, Capitilist purist/Social Capitlist, Liberal/Authoritarian, Pacifist/ Militarist,

My Scores are from the Grouping was.
Social Conservative/ Progrressive: 1
Capitalist purist/ Social Capitalist: 0
Libertarian/ Authoritarian: 1
Pacifist/ Militaristic: 8

our of a score of 12.

Enjoy

NICE!! I just took the quiz as well....it was short and insightful!! Thanks for posting a link!!

The following are your scores. They are based on a gradual range of 0 to 12. For instance, a Conservative/Progressive score of 3 and 0 will both yield a result of social conservative, yet 0 would be an extreme conservative and 3 a moderate conservative

Conservative/Progressive score: 1
You are a social conservative. You believe in traditional values, and care first and foremost about your country, your family, and your religion. You dislike the agenda of the left because you see them as trying to destroy these things.

Capitalist Purist/Social Capitalist score: 3
You're a Capitalist Purist. You believe that the market should be completely free, and that the invisible hand of the market will make sure that the people get what they want and will do it in the most efficient way possible. You believe in small government, less taxes, and more privatization.

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: 6
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 Hardcore Republican

Welcome. Its the Military one that I think he is just a little off on But that one is so hard to judge. But as far as things go this guy is really singing my toon as to an addequate political score.

Why do you think he is off on the Militaristic one??

[Col.Foley]

Why do you think he is off on the Militaristic one??

If your score was from 4 to 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.

I mean first of all I think its a slippery slope, and just from me personally the Iraq war is...I mean I do not think it was a mistake at all. But I think its just a slippery slope...which is probably why I think it was a moderate. I just think that was a pretty big assumption to make.

I'm not an American, but got curious about my results. Someone will have to tell me if this is good or bad.


Conservative/Progressive score: 5
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: 11
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 might also be against illegal drug use or public pornography because of its possible harmful effects to society.

Pacifist/Militarist score: 7
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

"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. I disagree with. I think the US FUBAR'ed Iraq and the least the US can do is help rebuild. Plus you also have the chance that a weakened Iraq could make it easy for the likes of the Taliban to take over. So I don't care about spreading Democracy, but that pulling out would ultimately make things worse than having a self sustaining, secure and friendly government Iraq. It could easily be a repeat of Afghanistan.

I mean first of all I think its a slippery slope, and just from me personally the Iraq war is...I mean I do not think it was a mistake at all. But I think its just a slippery slope...which is probably why I think it was a moderate. I just think that was a pretty big assumption to make.

well the only thing that sort of bothered me on the quiz is he lumped Maybe/Don't care together...I think those should have been separated out....cuz to me maybe is very different from Don't care.

[Col.Foley]

Indeed, excellent point...yeah I have a lot of problems with the quiz but the thing that I love is its the first quiz that has done what I have been thinking of doing and talking about three or four distinct political templates that you can be on the left or right of of each of them.

I'm amused that it's just American hot-button issues. Hailing from Canada, here are my numbers:

Conservative/Progressive score: 12
You are a social progressive. You generally consider yourself a humanist first. You probably think that religion and patriotism go too far in society. You probably consider yourself to be a citizen of Earth first rather than a citizen of your country.

Capitalist Purist/Social Capitalist score: 10
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: 2
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: 0
You're a Pacifist. You are angered that the United States thinks it should dominate the world through its military force. You think that the only time war is necessary is when we are in direct danger of being attacked. You also believe the US spends way too much of its money on defense, as we can practically cut it in half and still easily defend ourselves, and use that money to fix all our economic problems.





I really don't find fault with any of that.

So, I seem to be very close to Col. Foley.

Here are my results:

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.

Like others have mentioned, I did have a problem with the maybe/don't care option. It was difficult because everything I do care about, but some of the issues I am torn on or at least have an open mind on. Also, while I have mixed feelings about the Iraq War, I wouldn't state it was a "mistake" as the description says. Otherwise, everything else seems to be on ball with what I believe.

Thanks for finding this Col. Foley. I enjoyed taking it.
