Political Ideology Test

I got this test from Steph's blog - I like it because it doesn't stick to the Democrat and Republican labels.

You are a

Social Liberal
(75% permissive)

and an...

Economic Liberal
(13% permissive)

You are best described as a:

Socialist

In my case, however, it definitely tests ideology. My brain tells me that socialism isn't practical, at least not in the United States. But when these tests give you specific "I believe" statements and ask you to qualify yourself in regards to those statements (no neutral response is available), then I always end up in the socialist category. I at least consider myself lucky to have my beliefs line up with one political party in the States; I consider capitalist-social conservatives to be equally lucky. We are probably much less conflicted when election day comes around. I wonder how the libertarians make their voting decisions. I'll ask Steph. Her political tests come out the same every time, too.

  1. You commie!!!

    My marker overlaps with yours, but I'm slightly more socially permissive.
