On Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Moderate Liberal (27).

I was surprised to find myself a Moderate Liberal fiscally, but I guess it’s true now that I think about it. However, the terms “conservative” and “liberal” are so ambiguous that this test really doesn’t prove anything for the taker. Was fun to see just how liberal I am, though. :smiley:

I should be more liberal on non-fiscal issues, but i noticed that 2 questions pushed my score in the wrong direction.

The mechanics behind the scoring is fairly simple. Of the four answers, they will push your score greatly liberal, slightly liberal, slightly conservative, or greatly conservative. And each question will affect either your fiscal score or your non-fiscal score, not both. The low-medium-high does add a nice twist, though.

I scored a 9 on fiscal and 2 non-fiscal. A 2 out of 100! Now that’s liberal!

On non-fiscal issues, strong liberal: 15

On fiscal issues, moderate liberal: 39

But I’m not sure how accurate this is. On a number of issues, I didn’t really like any of the choices. A few times, I picked the option I disliked least. On two issues (Social Securtiy and Immigration), I had to check “no opinion,” not because I actually lack an opinion, but because I didn’t like any of the opinions available for checking.

Hey, you stole my answers. :smiley:

On Non-Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Moderate Liberal (35).
On Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Moderate Conservative (70).

Assuming the chart is still being kept up to date, here is my (unoffical) count, if anyone is interested:

Upper Right (North East): 22
Lower Right (South East): 4
Upper Left (North West): 28
Lower Left (South West): 62

Pretty much what I figured the distribution was on the board actually. Is anyone surprised by the distribution?

Not by the direction, but by the degree, yes.

On Non-Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Strong Liberal (18).
On Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Centrist (42).

On Non-Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Moderate Liberal (33).
On Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Moderate Liberal (31).

Not as out there as xeno:wink:

You missed Necro Romancer (#38) whose scored an almost dead bullseye.
Since your post there have been wolfman 9 (#153) (who also nearly got a bullseye) and Peter Doubt (#181)

My scores were 44 and 48 placing me in the same boat.

So the Centrist-Centrists so far are:

[ul][li] Necro Romancer[/li][li] lieu[/li][li] Polerius[/li][li] wolfman[/li][li] Peter Doubt[/li][li] kniz[/ul][/li]
My 44 actually is more extreme than anyone elses and I’m the one that qualifies as left or center.

I don’t think anybody else had that combo. No wonder I stuck out like a sore thumb at the libertarian conference I attended some years back.

14 non-fiscal (strong liberal)
41 fiscal (centrist)

Great! Thanks for this. Yes, this board is very liberal socially.

I got:On Non-Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Moderate Liberal (38).
On Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Centrist (54).

So I nudge it a trifle towards the center.

On Non-Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Strong Liberal (5).
On Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Strong Liberal (16).

No surprises here.

I’m bumping this in the hopes that Sam Stone and/or Shayna will update their charts. :slight_smile:
