This is the political matrix test that gives you a Economic score and a Social score(ranging from +10 to -10) that is ploted on graph and is pretty accurate. you should take to see where you lie on the graph

My scores are econ +7.68 and social -7.04

Quote:
Your score pegs you as economically moderately leftist and socially libertarian.

Moderate economic leftists generally support regulation of free trade and business to assure that workers are fairly treated and prices remain stable.

Social libertarians generally believe that the government should not judge morality, and are generally against the illegalization of things that do not directly affect other people in a negative way. Many strong social libertarians may also be social progressives, favoring legislation to correct what they see as socially backwards governmental regulation, although some simply wish for the government to make little judgment on social matters.


Seems about right

Found it. Kept clicking the wrong link. sweatdrop

Economic score: +5.42
Social score: +2.26

Your score pegs you as economically capitalist and socially center-authoritarian.

Capitalists generally support an open free market and lower taxes, but also support government restrictions on blatantly abusive industry. Capitalists also often differ from their more extreme peers in that, while they may support significantly lower taxes, they are less apt to support complete elimination of taxation or near-complete elimination of government.

Social center-authoritarians generally have moderate social views, with a slight lean toward government intervention. They may have moderate cultural and religious views, but on the whole believe that the government should assure that society should stay moral.

A little off on the last part, but still really close!

Then your standing won't change, that is what I was getting at. You could take it a hundred times, your score won't move at all/

Economic score: -1.94
Social score: -2.26

Your score pegs you as economically center-leftist and socially center-libertarian.

Economic center-leftists typically support above average controls on free trade, raising or maintaining the current tax levels, but still support free trade.

Social center-libertarians generally have moderate social views, with a slight lean toward avoiding government intervention. However, they support government intervention in matters that they see as threats to society.

Economic Score: +7.23
Social Score: +2.09



Extreme capitalists generally believe that the free market should be unregulated and laissez-faire in nature, with government either only intervening in extreme cases or never intervening at all. They also believe in significant reductions of government services. Many extreme capitalists believe that it is not the government's responsibility to assure welfare for the poor, but rather that the poor should fend for themselves or receive welfare through some form of private charity.

Social center-authoritarians generally have moderate social views, with a slight lean toward government intervention. They may have moderate cultural and religious views, but on the whole believe that the government should assure that society should stay moral.


Seems a little contradictory to me. neutral

A bit. Leave the economics alone but govern morality? Kant would have a s**t storm.
