Hmm. I didn’t realize I could have left questions blank or I would have.
Yeah, some polls don’t, this one does. Good thing. In polls designed to see where you fit on a sliding scale, a “No” to any question is generally going to imply a “Yes” to an inversely worded question… but that can be awfully ambiguous. Which of these is the inverse of “The federal government should subsidize our small farms”? What will the pollster assume?
• The federal government should not subsidize our small farms
• Our small farms should not be subsidized by the federal government
• Subsidies from our federal government should not go towards our small farms
• The federal farm subsidies should not go to small farms
• The small farm subsidies should not be the responsibility of the federal government
etc
Statist (38% Personal Liberty and 31% Economic Liberty). Sounds about right. (I’m Canadian, though.)
Centrist
You scored 52% Personal Liberty and 52% Economic Liberty!
Seems about right.
Centrist. That surprised me, as a lifelong Republican who’s pretty far to the right on most issues. I split with my party on almost all social choice issues though (sexual orientation*, abortion, religion, etc.) Perhaps that’s what pulls me to the center ?
*“choice” meaning who someone sleeps with, not their internal orientation.
The big brain am winning again. I am the greetest! Now I am leaving Earth forever for no raisin.
I highly doubt that the results of this test mean anything at all. The questions were poorly-phrased, so that frequently none of the responses were appropriate. Misspellings and odd grammar were rampant. It looked like the questions had been written by a high-school student.
The description of my result says that “some Paleo-liberals may lean towards embracing capitalism as an economic system.” Really? I’m a textbook capitalist. I own my own business and work freelance. I might “lean toward embracing capitalism”?
It’s almost as if the test had been created by a dating site instead of some kind of political or economic research team. Oh, wait…
So, keep retaking the test until you get the answer you want?
Paleo-Liberal
76/42
That sounds about right.
No I just didn’t bother differentiating between “Strongly Agree/Disagree” and simply “Agree/Disagree”. And obviously some issues like abortion and outright socialization of the economy definately made me got “Strongly Agree/Disagree”.
So you kept retaking the test until you agreed with the results?
No, I made a mistake the first time I took it. If I’d gotten the same result the second time I’d suppose there’s something wrong with me or with the quiz or both.
I came up as a social liberal, which is absurd, as everyone who knows me knows that I’m an antisocial liberal.
Neo-Liberal
You scored 51% Personal Liberty and 22% Economic Liberty!
A neo-liberal believes in moderate government intervention on personal matters and moderate to high government intervention on economic matters. They believe in a social safety net or welfare state and try to balance personal liberty with safety or security.
The test is wonky. I picked every anti-military answer available, and it says I support foreign intervention. I picked several pro-capitalist answers, and still got 22% in economics. And Qin got centrist? Puh-leaze
Social Liberal
You scored 60% Personal Liberty and 27% Economic Liberty!
Yeah, pretty much. The questions sucked wind, as they fail to distinguish between, say, my recognition of certain social and economic realities and my belief that sometimes you gotta take the hit for the common good.
Labels are for squares, man.
I don’t think I’d understand whatever it was I ended up with anyway.
Huh. I’m barely different than you, but I got a different label.
Neo-Liberal
You scored 56% Personal Liberty and 27% Economic Liberty!
Social Liberal, not surprisingly. 65% Personal Liberty and 32% Economic Liberty. It kinda sucks that this virtual SAT test (150+ questions?!!) was a stealth way of getting us to sign up for OKCupid. Qin, you don’t work for them, do you? 
You could skip it, I’m incredibily uninterested in internet dating, but I do like all the quizzes there.
Comes as no surprise to me: “A libertarian believes in little to moderate government intervention on both personal and economic matters. They generally believe in a government that is small and limited to the extent of protecting people’s liberty. They tend to be opposed to war, police powers, victimless crimes, foreign intervention and what they consider to be a welfare state. They support both property rights and self-ownership.”
