Your Political Profile

Defense and Crime: 100% Conservative, 0% Liberal
How Liberal / Conservative Are You?

I'm not fond of the term ethics for the second to last break down; it seems that what it terms “ethics” are not necessarily what I would term ethics, and some things I would term ethical fall in other categories. I mean, aren't ethics related to social issues, personal responsibility and so on? None the less, I think the “overall” score is about where I usually land on such linear quizzes (I like the more complex 2D profiles better, since liberal and conservative are such broad terms by themselves and become a lot more useful when you add a libertarian/authoritarian vertical axis to the standard right/left metric). Moreover, it does show that I'm on the fence in some categories, which would certainly be true. Feel free to post your results below.

Re: Contains Seventy Five Percent Conservativeness

Me either, Mark. :-) The break downs weren’t exactly the clearest… I only figured out what ethics referred to by changing my answers until the numbers started changing.
