Negative = Left, Positive = Right

Ignore the part that says the test pegs you as socially and economically.... They havent fixed that, yet.

Two friends of mine at another forum created this test. Id say its fairly accurate. Give it a try and post your results.

Economic score: -3.31
Social score: -5.55

Your score pegs you as economically and socially strongly libertarian.

Strong social libertarians generally believe that the government should not judge morality, and are generally against the illegalization of things that do not directly affect other people in a negative way. Many strong social libertarians may also be social progressives, favouring legislation to correct what they see as socially backwards governmental regulation, although some simply wish for the government to make no judgement on social matters

met too many gun-totin' "right of the people to bear arms" types who claim that title.

It doesn't explain the meaning behind the test or the score.

It doesn't say anything other than that.

12. 0's would mean smack dad in the center.

Your obviously left of center. I believe -8,+8 are tha max.

26. Strongly libertarian???

Hm.

-7.4 Economic
-6.0 Social.

I'm a Canadian.

[punpirate]

58. Maybe I belong in Canada...

... :)

Economic score: -7.31
Social score: -7.36

The summary conclusion, is, of course, wrong. My score actually implies a strong belief in preventing government from intruding on personal privacy and a strong belief in controlling and regulating corporations.

[nickshepDEM]

13. Damn, Im the only person so far to be right of center on social issues.

Economic score: -2.69
Social score: 1.18

[BikeWriter]

61. Why do you hate America?

:sarcasm:

[nickshepDEM]

72. LOL, me no hate American.

I think Im right of center on social issues because of my answer to affirmative action and abortion. Im somewhat, get ready, pro-life. Although I do not push my beliefs on other people. Also I do not support race based affirmative action. I prefer socio-economic affirmative action.

[spancks]

15. Boo hoo!!!

It told me I'm strongly libertarian! Well, everyone, I guess I'm going to have to start hanging with the freepers. What am I gonna do? I'll have to forget how to spell... :(

[Mass]

19. delete

[nickshepDEM]

20. Dont pay attention to the 'libertarian' thing.

They havent fixed that yet. The numbers are what matters.

[spancks]

36. Oh okay, whew!

here's my score:

Economic score: -6.46
Social score: -7.45

I think something must have been fixed already because now it says I'm a far leftist. Much better... :)

[Delphinus]

85. I was going to say,

seems like EVERYONE is "strongly libertarian". :)

[whatever4]

74. and with that...

I leave the board for the day. Only place that offers hope for our nation and our government, again, holds no salvation for the likes of all "others". 'Cause of a label, and a bunch of neocons. As if I ever sided with those monsters.

Libertarians. Keep up the trash talking. I'm sure it will get you far. Worked for them, after all. Why be any different, you're already virtually guaranteed the win, and on this board, it's legal. You can say anything you like, and as the new majority, get away with it, easily. It must feel good, it must be satisfying.

Need to find a place with less hatred. I wanted a large board for information, diversity, traffic and company. Turns out, any that aren't neocon are like this one, and you people have NO problem throwing hate speech at the other political parties. JUST like them. RIGHT at me.

Thanks a hell of a lot.

Have a good day ya'll. I was looking for another oasis.

No, don't fucking bother answering, I won't be back. Jerks.

33. Yeah, Ive always been a center/center-right on social issues.

Im nowhere near a wingnut though. My econmic score may be a bit off. Im definitely 100% Democrat when it comes to economics. Very pro-union, pro-power to the people, not corporations, etc... I vote only on economic issues. Thats all that matters to me. Poverty, good benefits and wages for workers, tax breaks for the working class, less outsourcing, etc...

Feedback is welcomed...

By the way, ignore the libertarian thing. It really is "economically (blank) and socially libertarian." If the numbers are both negative, it's left-of-centre, regardless of what the text thing says.

By the way, a -10/-10 or +10/+10 score IS possible...it just maxes out at 8 unless you choose the "very important to me" option.

You folks get a bad rap but you seem perfectly nice to me. Just don't let Fidel win any more of those polls. (I kid, I kid...*g*)

Some of the questions are kind of hard to answer the way they're worded. One that gave me fits is the question about parents deciding what kids can watch.

Where do you think our governor would score on that (Mark not John)?

[nickshepDEM]

69. Mark Warner, Id say...

Econ: -2/-3
Social: -4

[autorank]

83. On Warner, I think you're about right. Lets see when he goes national.

He's a good politician for Virginia because he understands what works here and what's needed. In a lot of ways, we have a more advanced agenca than other parts of the c ountry...afterall, when we say improve education, we actually do something about it; the fiber to the rural areas is a real modern Virginia concept and plan; and the state funded nano-technology research, yikes, smart!

Now Warner is going national. It will be interesting to drop. I'd say the smart approach would be (if he really believes it) a point to the left in either direction, dumpt the DLC and run as everyman's candidate from business to workers. I think he could pull it off if he did that. He comes across as extremely bright, which he is, and he'd attract a broader crowd. I'd hate to seem him type-cast as candidate of business or the "moderates." Won't fly, people are too pissed off now. Imagine how they'll feel when the real estate market has a big burp.

Clark/Warner; Warner/Clark; Gore/Warner (now that's one I really like).

Here all this time I thought I was a progressive democrat

I think their system is rife with innacuracies or presuppositions related to progressives. By any chance do the authors of this poll reside on the East Coast?

[ninkasi]

78. Here's mine...

Economic score: -8.13
Social score: -7.53

It shows me as being a far leftist, which is correct. The strange thing, as far as statistics are concerned, is that I'm going to be 63 on my next birthday, and have gotten more liberal as I've gotten older.

I know we're supposed to become more conservative as we age, or at least that's always been the accepted idea, but I think that the more I see of life, the more compassion I have learned, and the more understanding of how we are in this world together, and need to support and nurture each other.

80. It's stealth promotion of libertarianism.

Don't be fooled, there's two kinds of libertarianism - the original left-wing one, and the more recent right-wing one.

So, any classification as "libertarian" is pointless unless it is specified which kind.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarianism

The political spectrum isn't that complicated anyway;
In the end, there's only two kinds of politics: one that favors self-governance by the people (aka democracy), and another that favors rule by a minority (aka despotism). The latter can only be established by force and/or deception, since it is opposed to the interests of the majority.

[alconvsc]

97. Well...you have discovered my secret plot!

My libertarian conversion plot did not pass you it seems!

In all seriousness, I am using the definition as liberal. I'm not sure what a conservative libertarian would be - I'm familiar with the European definition of liberal as the American definition of libertarian. In support of unrestricted free trade, less government in general, etc.

By the way, there are only two political views if you choose to make them two...otherwise there are infinite ones. A spectrum can be as bipolar as you want, or as infinite. :)

Thanks for your comments,
Alcon

[rman]

105. There are an infinite number of position between the extremes

but there are only two extremes, and the spectrum is in between those. Indeed there are an infinite number of shades in between total democracy and total despotism. (see http://www.archive.org/details/Despotis1946)

Did you read the link i provided? That's not an uncommon description of libertarianism, and is smells strongly of RW.

Is it coincidence that the RW also support so-called "free trade" and small government? Have you been following threads on DU about so called free trade agreements such as NAFTA and CAFTA? I you have, you'd know that so-called free trade is free in name only - and that contrary to promises it does not help the population of developing nations who enter those agreements.

Can you name even one example of a developing nation where free-trade/globalization has not been a disaster?

"...look we tried to help Bolivia, it went under. We tried to help Brazil, it exploded. We tried to help Indonesia, it was burning in riots. Maybe there's a pattern here."
- Stiglitz, to his bosses at the World Bank (he was fired shorty after)

This while even according to the 2000 IMF "World Outlook" report, results have been less then encouraging; "in recent decades nearly one-fifth of the world population has regressed. This is arguably one of the greatest economic failures of the 20th century."

"The only economies that seemed to be doing well were China, Vietnam, Botswana, Venezuela and the United States. What did all five of those economies have in common? All five told the IMF to go to hell and that includes the United States who does not listen to the IMF dictates at all."

and some more:

NAFTA's chapter 11

"...gives corporations rights to sue governments in special tribunals, for unlimited compensation for profits lost due to normal governments activities."

"...there have been cases, like "Metalclad".
An American company called "Metalclad" went down to Mexico to build a toxic waste dump on an aquafer; the local supply of water. The government said "no, this goes against our environmental laws".
The people are getting poisoned from the water - what corporation has a right to poison our water? The government passed a law that said "no, you can't operate this thing".
They said "that's to bad, we have rights as a corporation that outweigh your human rights". They sued them for 17.5 million dollars saying it was a barrier to fee trade.
This US corporation takes the Mexican government to a NAFTA court, sues under this chapter eleven, and the ruling is - the Mexican government has to pay millions of dollars in "penalties", for "lost profits" of this corporation."

[windbreeze]

92. Posting Results...now if I could just understand what it means...

I would be set....
Economic Score -3.54
Social Score -3.45 I am thinking it means I am left of center...perhaps there needs to be a numerical chart that shows where a particular score ends up versus any other score...

[AntiCoup2K4]

98. Another "social libertarian" here, apparently

Result

Economic score: -7.08
Social score: -5.09

Your score pegs you as economically and socially strongly libertarian.

Strong social libertarians generally believe that the government should not judge morality, and are generally against the illegalization of things that do not directly affect other people in a negative way. Many strong social libertarians may also be social progressives, favouring legislation to correct what they see as socially backwards governmental regulation, although some simply wish for the government to make no judgement on social matters.

Last time I saw a poll with this many "libertarian" results it was sponsored by........

....wait for it.......

......The LIBERTARIAN party!

You aren't recruiting for them, are you Nick?

Seriously, never thought about joining that party. There's a lot of things I could agree with them on, but they want to shrink government a little too much for my taste.

107. My score

Economic score: -5.69
Social score: -8.00

Your score pegs you as economically and socially far-leftist.

Social far-leftists generally go beyond simply being against government invention in social matters, and instead believe the government should actively make reperations for its past evils toward blacks and other minority groups. Those who score in this category tend to have a strong distrust of government, especially when it comes to its treatment of what they see as disadvantaged groups.

108. results say i'm normal.

110. My score

Economic score: -7.38

[rndmprsn]

111. here are my results....

Economic score: -5.54
Social score: -4.18

so what does that mean?

[rman]

112. doesn't make sense

"Result

Economic score: -9.38
Social score: -5.82

The kind of libertarians we hear about occasionally are in favor of so-called free-trade/free-market (which i know is a scam that favors the rich at the expense of the poor).

I voted "Strongly Disagree - issue very important to me" on the question
"18. Government regulation is unnecessary, as a free market naturally provides its own regulation."

I disapprove passionately of self-regulation for corporations.

And yet supposedly i am "economically strongly libertarian".

I identify myself as far-left/anarcho-syndicalist.

[lovelaureng]

113. Here's my results,

Result

Economic score: -4.00
Social score: -3.09

Your score pegs you as economically and socially.

What does it mean? :shrug:

[AZBlue]

114. -6.62 economic, -2.18 social. My question is: what's the highest score?

For example, am I a -2.18 out of possible -10 for social?

As for the relative scoring, I'd say it's correct - I'm more liberal when it comes to economic issues and a slightly more conservative on social issues.


BTW, my score page just said:
"Your score pegs you as economically and socially"
Didn't give me a "label."



Very interesting!
