I am proud to score NEOCON and emulate the ideals of Teddy Roosevelt. We have the " big stick" and should use it more often .

[Laura Earl]

That's actually why we get along so well. I'm always..."let's blow em up!", and you always have a logical reason why that isn't a good idea at this time. ;)

[Smogger]

I'm a neocon. I already knew I was.

Isolationist here as well, although I think the addition of a few more questions to more fully flesh out the quiz would have changed that.

[eyespysomething]

I tested out as an isolationist also.

Funny, I never thought I was an isolationist...

[cyborg]

I'm a realist but I'm not going to talk about my weight!

Realist
Realists…

• Are guided more by practical considerations than ideological vision
• Believe US power is crucial to successful diplomacy - and vice versa
• Don't want US policy options unduly limited by world opinion or ethical considerations
• Believe strong alliances are important to US interests
• Weigh the political costs of foreign action
• Believe foreign intervention must be dictated by compelling national interest

Historical realist: President Dwight D. Eisenhower

Modern realist: Secretary of State Colin Powell

I can deal with that.

I guess now when I ask "What's a NeoCon" I only need look in the mirror.

[Smogger]

Being a neocon is a reflection of your position on foreign policy. Opinions on domestic policy or social issues run the gambit.

[Grampa Dave]

My rating which comes as no surprise:

Neocon quiz results:

Based on your answers, you are most likely a neoconservative.

[Grampa Dave]

"I'm a neocon.'

Gee what a surprise!:)

[Dog Gone]

Apparently, I'm a neocon, also. But since my two favorite Presidents from the last century were listed as neocon examples, I'll gladly wear that badge.

And if anyone has failed to read this book

what are you waiting for?

[MrLee]

Neo-Con. YEAH!!

[Hi Heels]

Neocon...but they forgot the "good-looking" part.....

[Conspiracy Guy]

Blowing them up is always an option. But I always say "halt" as I'm pulling the trigger.

I would have gone to Afghanistan and Iraq on about the same timeline as W. So maybe he is a realist too.

[TankerKC]

Neocon.

[jocon307]

I'm a neo-con, surprisingly, I didn't think I'd rate that based on my answers.

And I must say, as a dedicated quiz taker (a recent quiz revealed that if I was a dog I'd be a German Shepard), this was the most intellectual quiz I've ever seen. I wonder if all the policy wonks in Washington are taking it.

[JimRed]

Surprised to be rated a Realist. Good company, Dwight Eisenhower and Colin Powell, but I'd rather claim Teddy Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan. Some of the choices were very close, however.

[Grampa Dave]

Yep liking Theodore Rex, Ronald the Great, and GW as our best presidents seems okay for me.

I, also liked IKE!
