Out of the 10 questions that you answered, you can best be described as Liberal.

AHHHHHHH!!! NOOOOOOO!!!! NOT THAT!!!!

Liberal
As a liberal you believe that the state should take a hand in regulating the free market in order to prevent abuses of the system. You also feel that government should take somewhat of a redistributive role in ensuring that the poor have adequate means to live and to prevent the grossest inequalities in wealth. At the same time you believe that the economy if monitored can be a significant engine of wealth for society. You also strongly believe that government should keep its hands out of regulating moral values, and should enforce a strict separation of church and state, leaving moral decisions and religious expression solely to the private realm.

Score was 8 for Liberal which is 66%

ZIP for Conservative. YAY!

And 4 for Socialist which is 33%


Ah whatever...

Liberal: 4 33.3
Conservative: 0 0.0
Socialist: 8 66.7

Socialist
As a Socialist you believe that social and economic equality should be the fundamental goal of society and you believe that the government should take the leading role in accomplishing this through the redistibution of society's wealth. You're in favor of high tax rates on the rich in order to fund a substantial welfare state. You may no longer believe, as socialists once did, that the government should control " the means of production" i.e. nationalize all major industries, but you still believe in the absolute right of workers to control their lives. Thus you are probably at a miminum in favor of strong unions and are intersted in fostering worker ownership of the corporations for which they work.

The quiz is a little "American" in that it doesn't offer truly Marxist responses, but I got the exact same score as RedCeltic.

Liberal: 33.3 %
Conservative: 16.7 %
Socialist: 50.0 %

Well it probably explains why I'm a bit more tolerant of the canter-right than most socialists

I agree, this test doesn't offer answers that would lead to communism or a more socialist response. Screw the test scores though, people. I don't need a test to tell me that I a am a COMMIE!!!!!!!!!

But something really really creepy is that i scored 5.2% conservative. I'm so scared aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

75 %

don't worry dreadnaht1, that might be the result of misinterpretation of the question, the limited responses available to questions or some other reasons i cant be bothered thinking of...
maybe it just didnt cover the right issues that would have truly represented your opinions?
