This quiz may give you a hint. There is no registration or email address required and it takes only a minute or two. It's for fun and not an exhaustive scientific political analysis of one's positions.

Nothing new here. I've been falling more and more into the libertarian camp the past decade decade or so now.

The quiz showed me to be a Centrist. Hmmm, I reckon I'm okay with that. :patriot:

My friends describe me as being "just slightly right of Attila the Hun". I think it suits me, but the quiz has me as a Libertarian.

Libertarian. Not surprised, though there are some parts of the Libertarian platform that are a bit too much "live and let live" for me.

Ditto, libertarian. What surprised me is that it pegged me on the left side of libertarian....... and that's not true. I am actually VERY socially conservative, and I wish everyone else were too because I think it would be a vastly better world if they were...........I just don't think it is necessarily government's business to be involved in it, with one exception: right to life. I think that government has a vested interest in protecting the lives of the unborn.

But this quiz doesn't allow that kind of depth, so it was correct on the libertarian, but incorrect on any kind of social conservatism scale.

Hmm, Libertarian. I've always described myself as a bleeding-heart conservative.

It has me in the Libertarian camp as well, like most others. Not surprising though as many on this forum are probably of like mind on many issues. As someone also stated earlier, it is hard to get a good read without more granularity. Interesting quiz though...
