The ORIGINAL Internet Political Quiz.

Post by Lyion »

http://www.theadvocates.org/quiz/quiz.php

My result:

Centrist prefer a "middle ground" regarding government control of the economy and personal behavior. Depending on the issue, they sometimes favor government intervention and sometimes support individual freedom of choice. Centrists pride themselves on keeping an open mind, tend to oppose "political extremes," and emphasize what they describe as "practical" solutions to problems.

How do you attach files? Didn't their used to be an attachment button?

This isn't a very good quiz. Very shallow and questions seemed very weighted. Aposing drug and gay marriage laws doesn't really make me want smaller government. It's a moral issue.

Liberals usually embrace freedom of choice in personal matters, but tend to support significant government control of the economy. They generally support a government-funded "safety net" to help the disadvantaged, and advocate strict regulation of business. Liberals tend to favor environmental regulations, defend civil liberties and free expression, support government action to promote equality, and tolerate diverse lifestyles.

I disagree, sir. Those questions are awful and slanted and very biased.

Which ones aren't?

If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations.


I'd always support my country, whether it was right or wrong


The enemy of my enemy is my friend.


Those are caricatures of issues framed from a very slanted viewpoint, in my humble opinion.

From my original link, this is another way of pushing that first question, which is far more open and objective. Yeah, it's more of a libertarian angle but less slanted IMHO.

End government barriers to international free trade.

All of them were slanted against government. Almost everyone would fall under libertarian simply by answering logically. The questions weren't what role do you see the government hainvg, but more do you want the government doing this really immoral stuff? No? You want a small government.
