What are you?

I think I know where most of you stand, but let's put it into data terms.

Take the following quiz, then post your picture.

Almost scared to post mine as I'm not sure if it's really representative, but:

It is interesting, I always thought I was more Libertarian, due to my more moderate social views. Oh well.

Did you read your analysis? How close do you think it comes?

I'm a moderate. Not unexpected. I think the quiz really only scratches the surface of one's political philosophy. Still, it's an interesting diversion.

no surprise here

yet interesting how the question i answered : "Permit prayer in public schools"

suddently becomes: "Teach Family Values in Public Schools" in the analysis...

last time i checked, one can have familly values, good morals and ethics without beeing religious at all...

I must be slipping, or the questions were biased.


Another chart, this one showing the political spectrum.

Yeah, you'd think. I'm usually at the pointy end of libertarian, don't know why I slipped.

Yeah, I think those results aren't really accurate, and some of the questions are definitely misleading. It placed me in far left economically, which is certainly not the case. However, look a bit closer: in the results, " Replace US troops with UN in Iraq" is under "economic questions", however in the questions it was under "defense/international issues". I answered it based on that category, rather than as an economic question, so I get pegged to the left economically.
