Political Quiz
10.19.06 (8:16 am)   [edit]

I recently discovered this new political quiz site.  Try it out.  It is pretty interesting.  It won't take much of your time at all, and it may even decide for you which way you should be voting in upcoming elections.

It is on the Ontheissues.org website under Quizzes tab at the top.

If you click on the SenateMatch Quiz 2006, you can get results by which Senate candidate you match the closest, which possible 2008 Presidential candidate you match, and your political philosophy.

Here is what is said for me:

Your Score
You scored the following on the PoliticsMatch questions:
Personal Score  75%  
Economic Score  8%  

 

Where You Fit In
Where your Personal score meets your Economic score on the grid below is your political philosophy.  Based on the above score, you are a Hard-Core Liberal.

About the Results
Personal Score:
This measures how much you believe government should intervene in people's personal lives. Personal issues include health, love, recreation, prayer and other activities that are not measured in dollars.

A high score (above 60%) means you believe in tolerance for different people and lifestyles.
A low score (below 40%) means you believe that your standards of morality & safety should be enforced by government. 

Economic Score:
This measures how much you believe government should intervene in people's economic lives. Economic issues include retirement funding, budget allocations, and taxes. 

A high score (above 60%) means you believe in personal responsibility for your financial matters, and that free-market competition is better for people than central planning by the government. 
A low score (below 40%) means you believe that a good society is best achieved by the government redistributing wealth. You believe that government's purpose is to decide which programs are good for society, and how much should be spent on each program.

Hey, tfruge, thanks for posting this. Devon and I took the quiz more to compare our philosophies, as opposed to being labeled and it turned out to be a great (and sometimes surprising) conversation.
