Take the test and see for sure what sort of political animal you are:
quote:
Conservative? Liberal? Republican? Democrat? No matter how you vote, it's unlikely that any one of these words perfectly reflects your views. Politcal beliefs are often intuitive and personal, and no party, platform, candidate or external label can encompass them exactly.

We at OkCupid designed this test to explore our users' ecomonic and social ideas and then place them into the spectrum of political thought: liberal, conservative, progressive, radical, and so on. We tried to accurately translate a person's own sense of where he stands into a place in the real poiltical world.

OkCupid's Politics Test is short and, as always, highly accurate. At the end, you'll get nifty graphs and charts, and you can compare your score to both your friends' and famous people's. Cheers.
It's quite informative, I myself, have discovered that I am a Socialist -- I didn't know that before.

Looks like a standard reply, unless you deliberately take the dumb answers to those questions to make like you're some anarchistic freak.


What bugs me about these kinds of "tests", is that for many of those questions, my answer would vary, depending upon the particular conditions. For example:
quote:
Employees should have the right to go on strike without the risk of being permanently replaced.

On the surface, that's something I'd generally agree with. Thing is, there's a bunch of city workers on strike in Regina right now over 1%, one lousy percent pay raise that they want. It's like $40 a week is about what it amounts to.

In the meantime, the garbage is piling up so damn high the city stinks once you go into it, and it's becoming a health hazard. People are trying to get their own garbage out to the dumps now.

The people who drive city buses and those who drive the special "handicapped" buses are also on the same strike.

For one lousy percent? Screw them.

quote:
A society is only as successful as its least fortunate members.
In that case, NO society has ever been successful. I'd look more at how many people in that society are "least fortunate" and make my determination from there. I'd maybe also look at why they'd be less fortunate.

Hmmm. I thought I was more of a cenerist. Oh well. One thing I do like is that under the "famous people" page they actually have Darth Vader. Poor guy-- he was just so misunderstood.

I'm there because I've clicked on the link in the first post! You even took the test before me.

Why am I there? "Why are you all there before me" is more like it!
