What is your political personality? (another quiz for the curious)

Does this accurately describe your political personality?

This one is supposed to be targeted towards college students. And relax Milo--it's being done by Harvard, an institution with absolutely no agenda, no propaganda, and no bias--you can probably use this for "serious" analysis and broad interpretation of political culture.

As for me:

"Secular Centrist. Secular centrists like you tend to be:
Strongly supportive of gay rights.
Believe strongly in the separation of church and state.
Less supportive of affirmative action than most college students.
Less likely to be concerned about the environment than most college students.
Less likely to believe in basic health insurance as a right than most college students."

Yup, me too apparently...although I changed most of my answers and got the same results second time....

It can clearly read your soul, then...

traditional liberal. although it said that one of the attributes of a traditional liberal is a strong support for affirmative action, which I don't have.

I was going to write exactly what MarkH wrote.

I presume this has already done the rounds, the Political Compass?

Secular Centrist.

― yossarian, Tuesday, 20 April 2004 13:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Secular centrist, which is probably as accurate as an 11 question poll is likely to get.

Wow, that politcal compass thingy is gonna cause much fun in my house tonight...

― smee (smee), Tuesday, 20 April 2004 15:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Secular Centrist as usual, even though though I said protecting the environment was as important as protecting jobs.

I don't think I like the tone of this:
You are a Traditional Liberal. Traditional liberals like you tend to be:

I'm a trad liberal too. The quiz designer probably doesn't understand the difference between economic policy and fiscal policy, like many Americans.

― hstencil, Tuesday, 20 April 2004 18:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Traditional liberal - that's a joke.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 05:49 (twenty-two years ago)

me too, though i am somewhat disagreeing with that, probably for the same reasons as milo

― gareth (gareth), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 06:04 (twenty-two years ago)

I got traditional liberal the first time round but that was because I clicked on the wrong number for the affirmative action question. Now I'm suddenly a secular centrist.

― The Lex (The Lex), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 06:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Secular Centrist which is funny because when anyone asks me what my political beliefs are I say I am an 'extremist'.

― christhamrin (christhamrin), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 06:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm very disappointed I wasn't designated a Mad Liberal -- or more specifically, a Madlib.

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 06:46 (twenty-two years ago)

secular centrist
p.s. seriously doubt there is going to be anyone on ILx who is in the other two categories.

― duke guess, Wednesday, 21 April 2004 07:13 (twenty-two years ago)

secular centrist
