I came across an interesting quiz.

Nolan Chart

I'm about halfway up the Libertarian arrow and a little right of center.

Interesting.

I used to be a Centrist. Now I'm VERY Libertarian.

Okay, even MORE hilarious is that when I clicked on my own link, it put me at the peak of statist.

I'm left of the center, but 3/4 up on the Libertarian section.

A very interesting quiz, it said I was a conservative libertarian, which sounds about right.

It says I am a centrist liberal, I guess:p

Hello:

It called me a commie pinko libertarian.

excon

Libertarian!

I am Libertarian, but I knew that already! Lol

Wonder why mine said. We have notified the FBI of your IP address and they will visit you shortly??


OK. Just kidding.

That is funny!

I'm a centrist with libertarian tendencies and all this time I thought I was a liberal, go figure. The quiz was stacked because some of the answers are a best fit not an true expression of my views which can be conservative

If you look at the authors of the articles on the left you`ll notice that over 90% of them are libertarians. I bet the quiz is geared to show libertarian most of the time.

No bet. I just thought it was an interesting quiz.

Apparently I am a Liberal Libertarian.

I have no idea what that means :D

As I suspected "libertarianism" is such a vague and undefined position that everyone has some opinions that this poll considers libertarian.

This poll positions me on the right side of the libertarian slot and close to centrist.But there were more than one set of option statements that did not exactly fall within the position I take on the issues. I also find their positioning strange as I would place American liberal and statist almost in the same plane.

Surprise Surprise I am a liberal :p

The truly interesting facets of this little exercise are 1) Bringing some others into the Current Events forum, and 2) As NK said, the way the options were written. It demonstrates how easy it is to come up with a survey or a poll that will say anything you want it to.

Used to be. There used to be liberal Republicans, too. Nowadays it seems like all they'll admit to is "moderate."

Don't think you can get away with that! This is a discussion forum. State your opinion so we can shoot it down so you can shoot our rebuttal down.

NK, tell her(guessing) what an evil capitalist b*****d I am.

This was a fun quiz. Could you find one that we could take to find out who was the worst President in the last fifty years? I have my own opinion but I don't want to start a riot!

The president issue is interesting. Most people will vote the worst as a president in their lifetime. What can get REALLY interesting is to point out who the BEST president was overall. Always neat to see how many people choose someone besides Lincoln, FDR, or Kennedy.

One of the best and I can see a whole lot of jaws dropping.. Nixon. He knew his stuff when it came to being diplomatic with countries such as China... etc. He also helped in ending the Vietnam War. I don't think anyone is doing anything to end this one and that makes me think all politicians are the same, they will say anything to get into office and once they get there.. NADA. So Go Ahead, Let Me Have It!

I am an independent, although I think John McCain should have been President. There are good things about the Democrats and the Republicans. Therefore I am a conservative independent. My husband is a Republican and so are most of the people in my family. After Bush, we were leery.

Actually--my jaw is dropping because I AGREE with you, Kitkat.

I really think that Nixon was a great president, especially regarding foreign policy.

His major drawback, which might be a good way to determine future candidates, was his lack of media presence. He was probably the least photogenic president of the 20th Century, and he hated the press.

2012, I'm supporting the ugliest guy on the ballot.

He was. The Watergate apisode is just a drop in the bucket when you look at the ones who came after.

The media didn't like Nixon and I don't think he cared. I mean look now the media can make or break a president. He didn't care and I think that was his downfall. He lied which was wrong but show me one who hasn't? Okay Catsmine, who is going to be on the ballot?

Centrist. Must be my Canadian routes.

What is a Centrist?

This was a very interesting survey. Most people who know me would probably tell you that I'm a bleeding heart liberal. I always thought of myself as a conservative Democrat. Yes, KitKat, we do exist! :)

This survey had me as a centrist but quite close to conservative!

Most of the questions didn't exactly depict my views. For a couple of them I actually had to choose the least inappropriate answer. It just goes to prove that you can elicit whatever answers you want with the right wording.

Thanks LisaB... You're right some of the questions were like picking the lesser of the evils. I guess a conservative independent and a conservative Democrat are pretty much alike so we are on the same page... That's great!

I love your quote about the pig. My husband is still laughing. :D:D:D

For me it all depends on the issue. Some issues I might be right or conservative. There are some issues I might be liberal. I guess that is where the quiz had me at a complete centre centrist.

Oh my goodness... You are a Cowboy fan? Who would have thought! Me COLTS.. I love Peyton Manning. I love the Saints . Cowboys were great when Landry was the Coach. I was pretty young then, but my Dad loved them.

Saints... Sweeeeeet Super Bowl win! Cowboys are still a good team.

Tal we are together 99% of the time except with the Cowboys. Steelers and Bears, yeah I know... the Bears are actually the baby Bears. :(
