World's Smallest Political Quiz

Take the World's Smallest Political Quiz. Here's how I fared:

The blue dot on the chart shows where you fit on the political map. According to your answers, you fall exactly on the border of two political philosophies . . . CONSERVATIVE/LIBERTARIAN

Conservatives tend to favor economic freedom, but frequently support laws to restrict personal behavior that violates "traditional values." They oppose excessive government control of business, while endorsing government action to defend morality and the traditional family structure. Conservatives usually support a strong military, oppose bureaucracy and high taxes, favor a free-market economy, and endorse strong law enforcement.

Libertarians support maximum liberty in both personal and economic matters. They advocate a much smaller government; one that is limited to protecting individuals from coercion and violence. Libertarians tend to embrace individual responsibility, oppose government bureaucracy and taxes, promote private charity, tolerate diverse lifestyles, support the free market, and defend civil liberties.

The quiz comes to you and me courtesy of Advocates for Self Government. I know nothing about them, so don't consider my link an endorsement. BUT, do tell me where you landed on the political spectrum!

  • Cool quiz! I'm a Libertarian. :-) In other words, I'm a big, fat liberal. This is a great blog, Michelle. Good for you!

  • Not exactly. Left is liberal. You are between liberal and conservative--that is, liberal on social issues but tend to be conservative on financial issues.

  • To my surprise, I'm a conservative. I thought maybe I was a Libertarian.
