The Third Test:
You are a
Social Liberal
(78% permissive)
and an...
Economic Liberal
(5% permissive)
You are best described as a:
Socialist (5e/78s)
You exhibit a very well-developed sense of Right and Wrong and believe in economic fairness. loc: (105, -16)
Funny thing, about this test is that Anarchism here is only represented by Anarcho-Capitalism, in the Top Right Corner...
POLITICAL COMPAS
Economic Left/Right: -9.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.44
IMO, the political compas is by far the best and most accurate test.

Well between what was formerly know as DID, and what is in my opinion, poor phraseing of the questions I recieved:

Social Conservative
(35% permissive)
and an...
Economic Conservative
(66% permissive)
You are best described as a:
Republican (66e/35s)
You exhibit a very well-developed sense of Right and Wrong and believe in economic fairness. loc: (-57, 62)
modscore: (40, 21)
raw: (3725)
No, my one law I added was only people with bad luck get welfare, not people who are lazy (can't find a job and aren't sincerely trying) stupid, or want more than they deserve (kids, retirement)
EDIT: which is what showed, but I mean I'm more extreme than that.

LOL, actually I DID agree to it, but not strongly.
Hey, people have a right to be idiots. If they are both adults and both agree, let them kill each other. Probably that question alone put me in the libertarian category.
Of course that's one of those questions where idealism and reality conflict. In reality it's probably not such a good idea, even though I can't think of a good logical reason why. I believe strongly that people have a right to kill themselves and this isn't much different.
And when did I ever say I was big on guns?
better add some more smilies so i don't get in too much trouble

Well I also did agree, yet not strongly, for the same reasons binabik did. If they both want it, they'll do it anyway... and if they're both die in the process, there's no one left to be punished anyway...
BTW: did anyone notice that it always says that "You exhibit a very well-developed sense of Right and Wrong and believe in economic fairness."?

I did, not because I am in favour of a macho culture, but I feel if two retards wanna beat the crap out of each other, both concenting, they should have the freedom to do so. Roman Arena style
Besides, I'm very much in favour of retards aiding the gene-pool-quality by ridding society of their genes.
I'm a:
Social Liberal
(71% permissive)
and an...
Economic Liberal
(25% permissive)
Bah, it's hard. On one hand, I'm tempted to think, yeah, people should be protected from big coorperations that grasp power and bribe politicians. On the other hand, if people are that willing to let themselves get fooled, they somewhat deserve to be fooled.
I could say the common folks need to be protected, but if I look around I can pinpoint dozens of retarded examples daily who I simply think do not deserve such protection whatsoever. Lately that really pushes me to believing the common folks SHOULD be exploited Spoiled and arrogant is what defines Western civilians these days.

Here's another interesting test.
Overall, the PoliticsForum quiz considers you an individually-orientated, materialist, small-government, internationalist, free-trade, non-absolutist, liberal-market kind of person, who doesn't sound like a Marxist.
These characteristics would put you in the overall category of libertarian. Your natural home at PoliticsForum would be the Liberalism area.
You scored 28 out of 100 on a scale of Individual vs Social. This means that politically you are less likely to value the need for group actions and group benefit over individual enterprise and benefit.
You scored 90 out of 100 on a scale of Theist vs Materialist. This means that politically you are more likely to believe that religion and spirituality are superstitions that should not inform political debate.
You scored 69 out of 100 on a scale of Big Government vs Small Government. This means that politically you are more likely to believe that government should keep out of legislating social policies, leaving such decisions to individuals.
You scored 93 out of 100 on a scale of Nationalist vs Internationalist. This means that politically you are more likely to favour international bodies over national ones.
You scored 95 out of 100 on a scale of Protectionist vs Free Trader. This means that politically you are more likely to favour free trade over protectionist policies.
You scored 68 out of 100 on a scale of Absolutist vs Non Absolutist. This means that politically you are less likely to believe that there is an absolute truth that may guide your ideological beliefs.
You scored 73 out of 100 on a scale of Controlled Market vs Liberal Market. This means that politically you are less likely to believe that there is need for government regulation of industry.
You scored 69 out of 100 on a scale of Marxist vs Non-Marxist. This means that politically you are less likely to follow the philosophies of Marx.

Overall, the PoliticsForum quiz considers you a nationalist, protectionist, kind of person.
These characteristics would put you in the overall category of borderline nationalist. Your natural home at PoliticsForum would be the Nationalism area.
Below, on this page, is an analysis of the (up to) eight categories that you were sorted into above, and an explanation of how you scored on the eight scales used to determine these categorisations.
The pages following this one show the breakdown of results for all participants on each question. You can freely navigate through the pages by using the hyperlinks in the top right of each page.
Individual vs Social
"The individualist believes that society works best through a focus on individual rights, freedoms, actions and responsibilities. The social thinker believes that the ideal state should focus more upon collective action and take a social approach to rights and responsibilities."
You scored 40 out of 100 on a scale of Individual vs Social. This means that politically you are neither more nor less likely to value the need for group actions and group benefit over individual enterprise and benefit.
* 20% of test takers were more individual than you.
* 79% of test takers were more social than you.
Theist vs Materialist
"The materialist believes that all objective criteria to influence politics can be reasonably derived without recourse to the divine or the spiritual. The theist believes that spiritual beliefs are important and should influence government policy."
You scored 55 out of 100 on a scale of Theist vs Materialist. This means that politically you are neither more nor less likely to believe that religion and spirituality are superstitions that should not inform political debate.
* 39% of test takers were more theist than you.
* 59% of test takers were more materialist than you.
Big Government vs Small Government
"The big government advocate believes that governments should be responsible for regulating a wide array of social practices, even what might be considered personal decisions such as abortion, euthanasia, children's education and births. A small government advocate thinks that, wherever possible, these issues should be up to individuals or companies to direct."
You scored 57 out of 100 on a scale of Big Government vs Small Government. This means that politically you are neither more nor less likely to believe that government should keep out of legislating social policies, leaving such decisions to individuals.
* 47% of test takers were more big government than you.
* 51% of test takers were more small government than you.
Nationalist vs Internationalist
"The nationalist believes in the sovereign rule of nation states, particularly his or her own. The internationalist believes that there should be more important international fora and perhaps, ultimately, international government."
You scored 24 out of 100 on a scale of Nationalist vs Internationalist. This means that politically you are less likely to favour international bodies over national ones.
* 6% of test takers were more nationalist than you.
* 94% of test takers were more internationalist than you.
Protectionist vs Free Trader
"The protectionist believes in barriers against free trade most probably due to a belief that this is in his or her country's interests. The free trader rejects such notions, believing that the system ultimately suffers when tariffs, subsidies and other obstacles to free trade persist."
You scored 27 out of 100 on a scale of Protectionist vs Free Trader. This means that politically you are less likely to favour free trade over protectionist policies.
* 14% of test takers were more protectionist than you.
* 85% of test takers were more pro free trade than you.
Absolutist vs Non-Absolutist
"The absolutist believes that either a divine presence or scientific laws provide absolute truths about the world, which can and should be applied in practise. The non-absolutist may be either a relativist, or simply someone who is more pragmatic."
You scored 60 out of 100 on a scale of Absolutist vs Non Absolutist. This means that politically you are neither more nor less likely to believe that there is an absolute truth that may guide your ideological beliefs.
* 60% of test takers were more absolutist than you.
* 36% of test takers were more non-absolutist than you.
Controlled Market vs Liberal Market
"Both of these categories assume a capitalist system. Assuming this system, the controlled market believer holds that government should intervene in regulating a nation's economy: wage laws, environmental standards, privatised industries and workplace relations policy. A liberal market thinker believes that such regulation is unnecessary and often counter-productive."
You scored 52 out of 100 on a scale of Controlled Market vs Liberal Market. This means that politically you are neither more nor less likely to believe that there is need for government regulation of industry.
* 72% of test takers were more controlled market thinkers than you.
* 27% of test takers were more liberal market thinkers than you.
Marxist vs Non-Marxist
"This scale purports to show to what extent you follow the thought and teachings of Marx. Marxists tend to be scientific, materialist and revolutionary, believe in class struggle and the laws of historical and dialectic materialism."
You scored 60 out of 100 on a scale of Marxist vs Non-Marxist. This means that politically you are neither more nor less likely to follow the philosophies of Marx.
* 79% of test takers were more Marxist than you.
* 19% of test takers were more non-Marxist than you.

I'm actually a little surprised. I thought Bloomberg would be higher on my list. Ah well, guess that proves we should actually have a computer vote for us instead of doing it ourselves. All glory to our new Diebold masters!
I'm also surprised that I match up so well with Obama on issues. I'm guessing the only thing that's knocking it down is the stupid trade bashing that is in vogue these days.
