Default Excellent Test, But...

... This should be in the political science forum. Here are my results, which are accurate by worldwide standards. I'm a libertarian and I lean a bit to the left by American standards, but I'm right-of-center by worldwide standards:

Economic score: +8.9
Social score: -3.48

Your score pegs you as economically extremely capitalist and socially moderately libertarian.

Extreme capitalists generally believe that the free market should be unregulated and laissez-faire in nature, with government either only intervening in extreme cases or never intervening at all. They also believe in significant reductions of government services.

Moderate social libertarians generally favour a hands-off approach to social legislation. They may believe that the government has no right to enforce morals, but may support certain controls on individual rights to avoid crime, drug use, or similar social ills.

Default me:

Economic score: -2.19
Social score: -2.43

Your score pegs you as economically centre-leftist and socially centre-libertarian.

Economic centre-leftists typically support above average controls on free trade, raising or maintaining the current tax levels, but still support free trade.

Social centre-libertarians generally have moderate social views, with a slight lean toward avoiding government intervention. However, they support government intervention in matters that they see as threats to society.


Mmmm. these things aredifficult for me, as I am not American, and these are obviously American issues!!!

So this score is not totally me, as I had to answer 'Neutral' often!

Anyone know of a nice international test out there??

There is one test that applies to nearly all nations:

No apology is necessary. A moderator (I'm not a moderator) will move it at some point.

Economic score: +1.16
Social score: -5.39

Your score pegs you as economically centre-capitalist and socially libertarian.

Centre-capitalists often support free trade and low taxes, but take pragmatic stances on economic issues, supporting what they see as the best balance between encouraging business and maintaining free trade.

Social libertarians generally believe that the government should not judge morality, and are generally against the illegalization of things that do not directly affect other people in a negative way. Many strong social libertarians may also be social progressives, favouring legislation to correct what they see as socially backwards governmental regulation, although some simply wish for the government to make no judgement on social matters.

Were you close to Tolstoy (a Christian anarchist)? I was close to someone I think was Milton Friedman (though the photograph wasn't very good).
