Default Yet Another Political Test

Here is a test that attempts to assess the philosophy underlying one's political beliefs. My results don't come as any surprise to me:

http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?te...07319833388668

Individualism
You scored 76% individualism, 36% fatalism, 44% hierarchy, and 36% egalitarianism!
You strongly adhere to the culture of Individualism. Individualists believe that everyone should be given a fair chance, but people should be allowed to succeed or fail based on their merit. Competition -- in the marketplace, in elections, or elsewhere -- is your forte. Individualists think nature is resilient, like a ball at the bottom of a cup, and therefore competitors can be given free rein to exploit it.

That is essentially correct. I appreciate all replies. Thank you very much.

It's a bit simplistic, but interesting nonetheless.

The Center
You scored 100% individualism, 44% fatalism, 60% hierarchy, and 0% egalitarianism!
You adhere to both the Individualist and Hierarchist cultures. This means you are the Establishment, or "The Man." You run the system, or at least agree with how it's run. Any inequalities that arise are justified, because some people are just better or more deserving than others.
