Lake Country Liberal

The essence of the Liberal outlook lies not in what opinions are held, but in how they are held: instead of being held dogmatically, they are held tentatively, and with a consciousness that new evidence may at any moment lead to their abandonment. - Bertrand Russell

WHAT ARE YOU? Take the Quiz...

By Victor Ponelis
Jan. 17, 2010  

 I invite all to discover what they are, politically.

At http://www.politicalcompass.org, my results are Economic Left/Right:  -6.25, Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.36.

In other words, I am a Left Wing Libertarian.

There are no wrong answers to this quiz.  Simply take the test, and report your results in the comments.

    I,m farther left than Bush is right. Any further left and I'd be rubbing shoulders with Jesus. I see Pope Benedict is in close company with Mahmoud Abbas. For whatever that's worth.

    Here is what is billed as the shortest political quiz, it was this quiz that originally made me believe I am Libertarian. However since it has less one page of questions, I would consider the quiz you found to be more comprehensive since it has 6 pages of question to rely upon for it evaluation.

    I am close to where Ghandi was. I consider that good company to keep.

    @Only: per your quiz, I am a Liberal, close to the Centrist box and leaning toward Libertarian.

    @only, I scored Liberal, just under Libertarian, at the edge of the graph. Looks like Carl and I are pretty evenly matched in our views politically according to these two quizes.

    Your PERSONAL issues Score is 100%.
    Your ECONOMIC issues Score is 40%.
