Poltical Quiz

Here's a variation on the Libertarian Party's "Shortest Political Quiz."
What does it tell me?
If I believe the results, there are a lot of socialists out there.
My results are here.

I scored 1.5 on the Moral Order axis and -6 on the Moral Rules axis. They seem to think I am some kind of Republican...

1.5! Anarchist! You dirty hippie!

Dagny and I took the test together. With very little discussion we chose precisely the same answers. The result:

"Moral Order" 2.5 "Moral Rules" -6.5

So we're even more individualistic than you two cowboys, but lie somewhere between the two of you on the structured morality scale. It's notable that we're all in the same quadrant, however. Hey Silence, how 'bout you?!

Dagny notes that we would have scored higher on the so-called "Moral Order" scale except that the test makes the popular assumption that "moral" is associated with religion and traditional lifestyles.

Here's the rest of our scoring data-
The following items best match your score:

System: Conservatism
Variation: Economic Conservatism
Ideologies: Conservative NeoLiberalism
US Parties: Republican Party
Presidents: Ronald Reagan (96.88%)
2004 Election Candidates: George W. Bush (87.12%), John Kerry (68.59%), Ralph Nader (49.90%)
Statistics

Of the 38112 people who took the test:

2% had the same score as you.
82.3% were above you on the chart.
4.3% were below you on the chart.
13.7% were to your right on the chart.
77.2% were to your left on the chart.

I am a Fordite! 0 Moral Order and -3 Moral Rules. There I go, clinging to the middle again. I am in the same half as the rest of you but quite a bit higher up the socialist scale if I am interpreting this correctly.

Zero Moral Order -- you should get a T-Shirt made with that...

Very good. Yes, I seem to have misplaced my moral compass, I think I left it around here somewhere...
