Sometimes you own the libs. Sometimes, the libs own you.

This test is good, and short: http://www.theadvocates.org/quiz/quiz.php

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...

Too simplistic for me, sorry. You can't pigeon-hole people on a few questions, if you can pigeon-hole many of them at all.

I agree with Niki, but at the same time, those 8 questions were more accurate than the 100 question test I took last week...

EDITED TO ADD: F'king thing all but called me Rush Limbaugh last week! Overall, I would say that I was a social liberal and fiscal conservative.

This test put me a bit more left of center than I would agree with, but it was pretty accurate on the North and South of things.

Only 8 questions, and I would agree with Niki that 8 questions don't amount to shit, but I feel that the algorithms, as primitive as they may be, were much more accurate in the end results.

Test says I'm a Libertarian. I'm not sure I even know what that means. Guess I'm not so Conservative after all. I may have to go out and verbally abuse a native American or something.

I didn't think the test was going to get the right impression of me as I was answering the questions, but then it nailed me dead on, I feel.

It's not personal. It's just war.

Jongs what happened? Did you go a few days without watching Fox News or something? ;-)

I took the test again, this time holding my signed portrait of William F. Buckley. Still not in the solid Conservative zone, but close enough. Whew!

Keep the Shiny side up

Here's me.

No surprise.

ETA: Do notice they left out any questions about law enforcement or firearms. Guess if you want a small quiz something's gotta go.

Well, it's only right that Jongs would take the test twice, on two separate days, and get completely different results.

You really are a pathetic idiot. I took the test 2 hours apart on the SAME DAY.(see above ya moron)... And the second one was done with a concerted effort to come out more conservative, as I jokingly explained in the post. I think you must have a mental problem if you care so much about my results.

Yeah.... here's me.....

Honestly, if you're happy with it Frem, I'm happy with it....

I don't feel it's accurate, but it was BRILLIANT compared to that BS test that told me I was basically Rush Limbaugh.

EDITED TO ADD:

Kinda weird that I'm listed as less liberal than you and more libertarian, but that might be the truth. We all have ill-conceived notions about others, particularly ones we think we know very well.

I'm so greatful that my Dad was still around and still cared SO much to get the support net my brother needs. I know you have a lot on your plate and you're probably near my dad's age, but if you were the guy looking out for my bro after my Dad passed I woudn't have a care in the world. I think you'd really like him and could possibly be the very person he needed. He can go downtown Chicago and take a cross-country trip via railroad to NY and D.C. and L.A. and spend everything in his nest egg taking breathtaking photographs while not even realizing his unemployment was halted and his rent wasn't being paid.

My youngest bro is going to be 31 this year. He's still 12 years old inside.

Sometimes it seems like he can't wipe his own ass, but at the same time he's capable of so many higher-level things as if wiping his own ass wasn't a necessity. He'd make a GREAT rich kid. He'd make a GREAT ANYTHING, really, if he had the right role models.

Ooh, another thread for rappy to ignore so he can claim to be the middle.

I, unsurprisingly, scored full on lefty:

"Goram it kid, let's frak this thing and go home! Engage!"

Glad you got what you thought...

Turns out, at least from this test, we got a lot in common.

BTW SM.....

You were FAR from FULL-ON LEFTY...

Even PN isn't FULL-ON RIGHTY....

If you were full on lefty there would be women in these forums asking me to light you on fire while I lit a cigarette.

If you're FULL anything, you're the sickest of the sick.....

Calm down Jongs. I understood why you posted two different results. I was joking about how your politics and persona have changed since last year - it's only right that we should have two different political compasses for you.

I could've worded it better. But try not to be so thin-skinned.

Haha surely he's never claimed that??

He's claimed to be libertarian before; this test might well burst that bubble.

On another note, I like the geometry of the test results. e.g. If you're truly libertarian that limits how liberal you can be, and how conservative you can be...
