Dumb Politics Test/ But the Test Pegged Me Correctly

I was surfing around for a political test. I found this one. Even though I thought that some of the questions were dumb, and there was no provision for an intermediate response between agree and disagree, I think that they have got me pegged.

I also found it difficult to answer some questions because of the limited options, but that is not unusual.

The test assigned me to be a Social Liberal (76% permissive)

and an...

Economic Liberal (10% permissive)

I was best described as a Socialist

The test found I exhibit a very well-developed sense of Right and Wrong and believe in economic fairness.

Agreed about how to answer some questions, but this seems about right:

It then told me they were alerting homeland security, and I had better head for the hills...

I notice that no supposedly Republicans are taking this test as of yet.

Wow. I'm not an American and I ended up as a Strong Democrat, despite giving some rather conservative answers.

This test, however, is not a good test, because there is no middle option. At one point, I didn't want to say disagree or agree. I wanted to voice a neutral option, because though I wouldn't respect a war veteran more, I wouldn't respect him less.

That one bothered me too, Wolf.

And yeah, I'm curious about whether it's possible to get a conservative answer or if the test is biased. Maybe just who happened to take it so far.

Ha!

I tried to answer in what I thought was a "conservative" way and got this response:

You are a

Social Conservative
(6% permissive)

and an...

Economic Conservative
(95% permissive)

You are best described as a:

Fascist

Maybe if I toned it down I'd just be Republican?

I don't agree with the poll. It totally pegged me wrong and the fact that there is nothing but agree and disagree certainly limits any personal ideals. Anyhow, this is what the test said. The last sentence is, however, accurate.

Yeah, the "You exhibit a very well-developed sense of Right and Wrong" would apply to practically every single person who posts in these forums, so that's not really saying much.

Exactly my point :-)

And let's not forget that the labels are quite confusing...

I think I found a better one at:

It said there was no US Party that matched my ideologies, and that is certainly correct. This one isn't that much better though.
