Hey Iowans, where do you stand on the political spectrum?

[pstans]

Got 5 minutes? Then take this political test to see where you stand, what historic politcians you are most like, and where others who hold similar voting patterns stand. You don't need to register to take the test and see the results.

I was a lot more liberal than I thought was. I am s Social Liberal (63% permissive)and an Economic Liberal (10% permissive). But then I spent all day listening to Air America before I took the test, so my blood was pretty boiling at test time. :grr:

So where do you stand?

[MaggieSwanson]

1. Interesting test, pstans.

Here's me:
You are a

Social Liberal
(88% permissive)


and an...

Economic Liberal
(6% permissive)


You are best described as a:


Socialist


hmmmmmm....

[pstans]

2. I was a labeled as a socialist as well

[CornField]

3. Another socialist, I guess... LOL!

What I find most disturbing is that I appear to be 9% nothingness -- now if I could only get those kinda of results from my workouts. ;)

You are a

Social Liberal
(83% permissive)


and an...

Economic Liberal
(8% permissive)


You are best described as a:


Socialist


You exhibit a very well-developed sense of Right and Wrong and believe in economic fairness.

4. Democrat to the bone

Social liberal 65%

Economic Liberal 28%

Democrat

Try taking this test in a few mpnths and you could swing between two areas if you are on the border.

[tom2]

5. Democrat

social liberal - 73% permissive
economic liberal - 30%
Most surprisingly, I think my position was directly over Hillary Clinton's forehead when plotted onto "famous people."

[Critters2]

6. Socialist

Social liberal 75% permissive

Economic liberal 9% permissive

(Does that seem right?)

Socialist

[Bluzmann57]

7. Democrat

economic liberal (20 pct.) Social Liberal (56 pct.). Thats actually about right. I'm a bit more conservative than others but waaaaayyy more liberal than any repubs. Even for an old guy I'm fairly Liberal.

[iowasocialist]

8. Politics test

As you can see by my "name", not surprisingly, I was designated a socialist.

Don't be surprised if you are named a socialist, you might just be one.

Among other things, democratic socialists believe that economic democracy is just as important as political democracy.

Concrete example: a profitable plant like Maytag in Newton being closed, by people in private, making decisions for private gain, but with very public consequences. Who gave these guys the right to decide to throw lots of Iowans out of work? Our economic system...

[Rambis]

11. Socialist -I knew it

Why is money the root of all evil?

[Lurch762]

14. Actually the complete quote...

is - the love of money is the root of all evil. Only the greed. Not the money itself. Money is just an inanimate tool, incapable of moral right or wrong, like guns.

[Rambis]

15. true true (nm)

[Critters2]

17. I tell my parishioners this all the time--

"love of money", not "money". I also tell them that the Bible never says "God helps those who help themselves". They don't believe me.

[Hobarticus]

13. Socialist...

Not really surprising.

[toddaa]

16. Always score the same on these tests - Socialist

Which bugs me, because the word socialist is ambiguous. Libertarian socialist. Two ambiguous words put together to define me even more ambiguously! Deep down, I'm just a lazy anarchist.

[Critters2]

18. Lazy anarchist!!

I love that. I think that might be what I am. Or a cowardly one.

[yellowdog]

19. Socialist

80% Social Liberal, 1% Economic Liberal. No big surprises there.

[HuskiesHowls]

23. I guess I'm a Socialist

although I feel I'm more an anarchist than anything....

73% Social Liberal

20% Economic Liberal

Interesting test, and I got stuck right on Hillary's nose!!

[pstans]

24. Hillary

I think Hillary was placed on that spot before she started to move to the center. I was placed on Hillary and I don't like her at all now.

[The Revolution]

[progressoid]

27. I'm a fascist.

Kidding. Apparently, I'm a "strong Democrat"

I think I'll send this to a couple Repubes and see how they rank. I bet they aren't as conservative as they think.

ON EDIT: I just retook it as a republican would and got the expected 'you are best described as a republican'. Interestingly, it also had the same blurb that I got as a strong Democrat, "You exhibit a very well-developed sense of Right and Wrong and believe in economic fairness. Hmmmm.

[Pirate Smile]

28. I'm a Democrat. What a shock!

[Counciltucky]

Guess I'm a pinko -- who knew?

30. Socialist

Social Liberal - 90% permissive
Economic Liberal - 10% permissive

Hoo hoo this makes me seem so hard core! But I don't think I will hang it on a plaque on the wall.

The Bob Dylan poster looks better.

My marker sits between the photo of HRC (I think that's who it is) and Ghandi, so I'm satisfied with those results. Thanks to pstans for psting this. My family will have fun with this - comparing profiles and competing for the most liberal scores.

[Hardrada]

32. Socialist

but I am really an anarchist with an interest in Buddhism.
