One time I took a UK based political quiz to determine what type of british politician I would be (it had about 20 different movements within the UK). Many of the issues they addressed are topics that don’t come up much in American politics, like asking me “Should the UK adapt the Euro as its national currency?” (My response was hell no)
Surprisingly, after I finshed the test, the results came back and I was NOT a “Thatcherite”, but a “Cornerstone Conservative” by UK standards. After reading up on what a
“Cornerstone conservative” is, I have to agree the rating was probably correct:

I am a man of “nuance”, you see, and was therefore hesitant to answer questions (except for a few) with an extreme “agree” or “disagree” response. In other words, I overthought the freaking thing. Oh well.
To: Slyhunter
76/400 but that can be attributed to the poor wording of some questions. Such as: the immigrants are hurting society. What crap. This is a nation of immigrants. What is hurting is ILLEGAL immigration. The left loves to lie with that one.

100 - Extremely Conservative, but looking at the scores here, I KNOW I'm a liberal member of the VRWC. I believe in giving ‘em a fair trial first, before we hang ‘em.
To: stylin19a
yikes....s/b = very conservative.
To: Slyhunter
30 / 400.
Still can't figure out what my liberal leanings are from that quiz.

31/400. Yay!
I have answered these questions in another online poll, shame these great “progressives” can’t come up with their own questions.

I scored 107... very conservative. The chart at the end which shows various groups that were not really tested like “graduate educated” at around 230 is probably specious...

104 “Very conservative” I suspect among FReepers, were we to constitute the entire political spectrum (Lord, make it so within my lifetime!) I’d be a ‘moderate’ on the spectrum that runs from paleo-conservative with “blood and soil” leanings to libertarian.

Ya think?
How are they calculating a numeric score, 25/400 is 0.06

PS I'm going to do it again and see how far I can push it the other way.

375/400
extremely progressive
That was informative, my two scores average out to 200 which isn't far from their mean.
If you read the questions you can come up with just about any score you want.
