http://politicalquiz.net/ This is designed for American politics... so if you're unsure about some of the questions, you may have to do a bit of research. I've put the test here (rather than around the water cooler) because it's a political test. ![]() Conservative/Progressive score: 10 You are a social progressive. You generally consider yourself a humanist first. You probably think that religion and patriotism go too far in society. You probably consider yourself to be a citizen of Earth first rather than a citizen of your country. Capitalist Purist/Social Capitalist score: 12 You're a Social Capitalist, you think that, left to its own, Capitalism leaves a lot of people behind. You think that Health Care should be free to all, that the minimum wage should be raised, and that the government should provide jobs to all that are capable of having them. You likely hated the Bush tax cuts, and believe that the middle class has gotten poorer, and the rich have gotten richer over the past several years. The far extreme of social capitalism is socialism. Libertarian/Authoritarian score: 2 You are libertarian. You think that the government is making way too many unnecessary laws that are taking away our innate rights. You believe that the government's job is primarily to protect people from harming other people, but after that they should mind their own business, and if we give the government too much power in controlling our lives, it can lead to fascism. Pacifist/Militarist score: 2 You're a Pacifist. You are angered that the United States thinks it should dominate the world through its military force. You think that the only time war is necessary is when we are in direct danger of being attacked. You also believe the US spends way too much of its money on defense, as we can practically cut it in half and still easily defend ourselves, and use that money to fix all our economic problems. Overall, you would most likely fit into the category of Hardcore Democrat.
Being a citizen of the world is impossible. To be a citizen of a region, one must understand that region and it's culture. To do that with every culture on the earth is impossible... I certainly consider myself Australian. But I'll have a beer with anyone any day. ![]()
I certainly don't consider myself a socialist... but meh.
In Australia employers are allowed to / will soon be able to read employee emails... welcome to the Police State!
War should always be a last resort, to prevent a military invasion of some sort. |

I laughed ![]() Conservative/Progressive score: 6 You are a social moderate. You think the progressive movement is overall well meaning, but sometimes it goes too far. On issues like abortion and affirmative action, you see the negatives of both extremes on the issue. You probably value religion, but at the same time you think it should still stay separate from the government Capitalist Purist/Social Capitalist score: 10 You're a Social Capitalist, you think that, left to its own, Capitalism leaves a lot of people behind. You think that Health Care should be free to all, that the minimum wage should be raised, and that the government should provide jobs to all that are capable of having them. You likely hated the Bush tax cuts, and believe that the middle class has gotten poorer, and the rich have gotten richer over the past several years. The far extreme of social capitalism is socialism. Libertarian/Authoritarian score: 5 You're a Moderate. You think that we all have certain inalienable rights that must be protected, but that sometimes laws need to be made to protect the majority's lives or quality of lives. You might think that the 2nd amendment isn't necessary anymore because letting everyone a gun is extremely dangerous to the community. You might also be against illegal drug use or public pornography because of its possible harmful effects to society. Pacifist/Militarist score: 0 You're a Pacifist. You are angered that the United States thinks it should dominate the world through its military force. You think that the only time war is necessary is when we are in direct danger of being attacked. You also believe the US spends way too much of its money on defense, as we can practically cut it in half and still easily defend ourselves, and use that money to fix all our economic problems.

Conservative/Progressive score: 3 You are a social conservative. You believe in traditional values, and care first and foremost about your country, your family, and your religion. You dislike the agenda of the left because you see them as trying to destroy these things. Capitalist Purist/Social Capitalist score: 4 You are a Moderate Capitalist. You support an economy that is by and large a free market, but has public programs to help people who can't help themselves or need a little help. Pretty much you believe in the American economy how it currently is. Libertarian/Authoritarian score: 6 You're a Moderate. You think that we all have certain inalienable rights that must be protected, but that sometimes laws need to be made to protect the majority's lives or quality of lives. You might think that the 2nd amendment isn't necessary anymore because letting everyone a gun is extremely dangerous to the community. You might also be against illegal drug use or public pornography because of its possible harmful effects to society. Pacifist/Militarist score: 8 You're a Moderate. You think that in very rare occasions, the United States should invade a country in order to make the world better by spreading democracy or ending a tyrants rule. You also think that defense is very important, and we shouldn't lower the defense budget. You think that, while the Iraq War probably was a mistake, that we can make the world a better place by sticking with it and spreading democracy in the middle east. Yeh, that's about right. |

*Keeps mouth shut* ![]() This test isn't accurate at all, for example my beliefs regarding abortion can't be answered by Yes/No/Maybe. I believe that the minimum wage should be abolished (as it's a rubbish idea, not sure what would happen afterwards now that it is THE wage) but it says I think it should be raised ![]() Though we three are now buddies forever

The summing up of this quiz is terrible. It makes far to many assumptions and wrongly guesses specific reasons for my general beliefs.
The last sentence is nonsense. Until there's a civilisation other than Earth, no one is a citizen of Earth.
First two sentences are correct. Last sentence is flat out wrong. The US economy is ultra-capitalist.
This part is pretty accurate.
Completely wrong. I think in rare cases the US should invade countries in order to protect its allies, not to spread democracy. First Iraq war - defending Kuwait - right. Second Iraq war - stealing the oil/regime change - wrong. I don't know why it says "we shouldn't lower the defense budget" because I answered that specific question saying they should spend less on defence. |

personally i think the second iraq war was revenge on bush's part for his father not being able to invade iraq himself. Oil could have been an obvious motivation though. |
