I was curious . . .
Written by Mike on February 13th, 2005After seeing the results of the Family Guy quiz I thought it might be interesting if all of the people who contribute to this blog took a political quiz to see where they ended up on the spectrum. I like this one the best. I ended up with a 36, more conservative than Bole Dole (like that is saying anything) but less so than Reagan. I doubt anyone on this blog ends up with a score of less than 30.

How To Assign Points:
*********************
1. “Trust” - 0 points.
“Distrust” gets 2 points.
The major difference between liberals and conservatives is that liberals tend to trust
government while conservatives do not.
2. Any of the following gets 1 point (for a maximum of 5 points):
The Pentagon
The executive branch
The FBI
The CIA
The Joint Chiefs
Any of the following gets 0 points:
The U.S. Postal Service
The legislative branch
The I.R.S.
The Peace Corps
The United Nations
Liberals would pick the U.S. Postal Service, the I.R.S., the Peace Corps, the United Nations,
and the legislative branch because they tend to believe in these institutions.
3. Any of the following gets 1 point (for a maximum of 3 points):
Doctors
Business Executives
Team Owners
These answers score 0 points:
Trial Lawyers
Union Leaders
Professional Athletes
Liberals favor trial lawyers over doctors, and workers over executives because they tend to
distrust businessmen and favor their workers and advocates.
4. Give yourself 1 point on this question ONLY if you answered “none”. All other answers: 0
5. Give yourself 1 point for every answer (for a maximum of 9), EXCEPT “Cut defense spending”
and “Don’t cut at all”, which score 0.
6. “Term limits” - 1 point
“Public Financing” - 0
7. “Ronald Reagan” - 1 point
“Franklin D. Roosevelt” - 0
8. “Melting Pot” - 1 point

9. “Elders” - 1 point

10. “Stricter controls” - 0 points

About your score:
*****************
Respondents with the most points (40) are 100 percent conservative; those with the least
(0) are 100 percent liberal.
Take note: A higher number of points is not meant to imply a higher level of political
consciousness! The system of accumulating points for conservative answers is simply a
practical method for assigning politically left-to-right slots on the spectrum.
