I found this little quiz, and thought people might like to take part. Here, in brief, are the ideologies that the quiz examines.

Centrist – Just what it sounds like. Someone who doesn’t have any particularly strong ideological leanings in any direction.

Conservative – Specifically a "fusionist" conservative of the National Review - Heritage Foundation mold. Someone who believes in traditional morality and capitalism, and the need for a limited government to allow both to flourish.

Left-libertarian – The quiz uses a mild definition of a left-libertarian, an anti-statist who is somewhat fearful of corporate and religious influence on public life.

Liberal – Supports economic regulation to promote social justice and takes a progressive stance toward moral or cultural issues.

Libertarian – A libertarian opposes most or all government activites. Does not favor much or any government support for either moral or economic systems.

Neoconservative – A "neocon" is more inclined than other conservatives toward vigorous government in the service of the goals of traditional morality and pro-business policies. Tends to favor a very strong foreign policy of America as well.

Paleoconservative – "Paleocons" want less US involvement in foeign affairs than other conservatives and oppose mass immigration. They are also more favorably disposed toward the South and the idea of secession, or at least decentralization, than neoconservatives.

Paleo-libertarian – Similar to other libertarians except for oppostion to mass immigration, and shares the paleocon appreciation of the South.

Radical – Critical of bouregois morality and strongly opposed to capitalism and willing to use state power to achieve desired ends.

Third-way – More supportive of foreign intervention than liberals and less supportive of economic regulation, coupled with more-or-less progressive social views. "Third-way" is to liberal what neoconservative is to conservative.

Con, neo-con, Libertarian in that order. Personally, I'd reverse 2 and 3.

Liberal, Radical, Third Way.

Whats Third way? I also suspect my results were slightly influenced by an ignorace/apathy towards obvious US specific issues which meant I tended to give them low priority.

Third way, Liberal, Centrist.

Strange thing was, I did not feel strongly about most issues until towards the end. I suspect RabidGibbon is right and some are US-specific that lack wider resonance.

Me? Nihilist. ~D

What political position? You (I) mean that evil little ego in my mind?

Why am I posting to answer a thread created by a little piece of my conscience? And why am I questioning myself hoping for answers from my other little pieces of my conscience like this? And why do I try to humour my own little thoughts like they...live..! Ahrrrrgg!!! :dizzy2:

#1 Third-way
#2 Liberal
#3 Neoconservative

#1 fits well, #3 is a tad surprising (but then the test was so US-focused that the significance of the test results for non-US-citizens seems to be questionable)
