How Liberal/Conservative Are You? Take the Test and Find Out!

Check out this website that tests your "political compass." From the home page click the link that says "take the test?" or "click here to start." DO NOT read the "Analysis" section first as it may prejudice your answers. I recommend Googling any terms from the questions that you may not understand so that your results are as accurate possible. The results will show where your beliefs fall on an economic scale and social scale. When you have received your score, read the "Analysis" carefully so that you understand what the numbers mean. To see where you rate in comparison to the 2008 U.S. presidential candidates, click the "U.S. Primaries 2008" link at the bottom of the "Analysis" section. As you will see, Democrats and Republicans typically score positive on both scales, however, Republicans tend to score higher in both instances. Republicans tend to be more to the "right" economically and more "authoritarian" socially. Dennis Kucinich and Ralph Nader were the only candidates who rated "negative" economically and socially. Enjoy.

  1. Nice Quiz, very interesting. A bit long and felt pushed into some questions without the neutral option but thats probably the point of the quiz.
