while it's clearly libertarian-biased judging from the site, this is an interesting format being used.

what I got:

Radical/Conservative: 19
Liberal/Populist: 3
Capitalist/Socialist: -20

[JHBowden]

1. 4, 6, 11

radical/conservative: 4
liberal/populist: 6
capitalist/socialist: 11

[Cats Against Frist]

2. 19,3,-5

So, does this make me a left-leaning progressive populist libertarian radical socialist?

I thought so.

Radical/Conservative: 22
Liberal/Populist: 9
Capitalist/Socialist: -11

4. what a dumb quiz

I stopped halfway through when I realized its meaningless and inaccurate

[Domitan]

5. Apparently a Radical with moderate taste

18-Radical
4-Liberal
(-2)-Socialist

[whistle]

6. It strikes me as being a push-pull type poll...

...it defines the terms according to the quiz makers idea, then creates questions which are polarizing in the way they might be answered. For example under the Liberal-Populist Quiz it makes the statement:

Private property is one of the most important individual rights.

Supposedly, as a liberal I'm I am going to strongly agree with that, because the quiz suggests that a score of 30 means I'm very liberal so I would have to pick that extreme, verses very populist by strongly disagreeing. What is a populist anyway, somebody who strongly disagrees with all the statements in that quiz?

Then I go over to the Capitalist-Socialist quiz and that question gets toned down for no apparent reason and reads:

Private property is just and effective.

As a capitalist I want private ownership so I can claim exclusive rights to all of the benefits/profits that come from that ownership exclusively for myself and as a socialist I would want the same result only benefits/profits would be shared in some equitable manner.

In the Radical-Conservative quiz, the question of private property is simply not asked anywhere that I could see.

As the result of taking these three quizzes in the following order you can see my scores below:

Liberal-Populist ( -3 )

Capitalist-Socialist ( -8)

Radical-Conservative ( 22)

I guess the Red squad will be knocking on my door tonight.....:shrug:
