Politics quiz
So I took this quiz, mostly so my friends could chuckle, but what the hey =)?
I had some real issues with this. "I would defend my property with deadly force", for instance. I would defend my FAMILY with deadly force, but not, say... my TV. But I'd bet that the answer is treated as if the question were "are you a crazed gun nut?". "Being poor and black is an advantage getting into college" (paraphrased). Is that in the very specific sense that colleges offer preferred admissions in that case, or the very broad sense that poor black children tend to have less opportunity to get the education that PREPARES them for college? Once again, depending on how you interpret the question, a very different answer. Anyway, I muddled through and here's what it said:
You are a
Social Liberal
(80% permissive)
and an...
Economic Liberal
(31% permissive)
You are best described as a:
Strong Democrat

I think of myself as more libertarian than that, but then this quiz is far from exact ;).
