This is truly the shortest political quiz I've seen. It's fun!

http://www.theadvocates.org/quiz.html

I'm a left-liberal: Left-Liberals prefer self-government in personal matters and central decision-making on economics. They want government to serve the disadvantaged in the name of fairness. Leftists tolerate social diversity, but work for economic equality.

ccording to your answers, your political philosophy is authoritarian.

Authoritarian

Authoritarians want government to advance society and individuals through expert central planning. They often doubt whether self-government is practical. Left-authoritarians are also called socialists, while fascists are right-authoritarians.

Centrist
Centrists favor selective government intervention and emphasize practical solutions to current problems. They tend to keep an open mind on new issues. Many centrists feel that government serves as a check on excessive liberty.

Pretty close. Probably a little further to the right than this survey indicates.

That was me also. All though I don't get into politics much and some of the questions I didn't really know the difference it would make one way or another. Kind of sad, I should do more studying

According to your answers, your political philosophy is libertarian.

Libertarians are self-governors in both personal and economic matters. They believe government's only purpose is to protect people from coercion and violence. They value individual responsibility, and tolerate economic and social diversity.

Right-conservatives prefer self-government on economic issues, but want official standards in personal matters. They want the government to defend the community from threats to its moral fiber

Looks like I'm the wierdo here---surprise ! (Not really, lol)
