    The Political Quiz Show Saturday, September 10, 2005

    I like these quizzes for some reason. This one was one of the first I've taken that I felt asked good questions and the result seemed accurate.

    The Political Quiz Show rates you on a 0 - 40 scale, 0 being 100% liberal, 40 being 100% conservative. What did I score? The perfect 20, making me a "Colin Powell" Centrist.

    That's right. The quiz was part of a conservative conspiracy against the liberals. ;)

    But seriously, this is an internet quiz, produced for mass consumption, not an in-depth analysis of the meaning of liberalism versus conservativism.

    I agree there may have been some bias to the conservative side, but I think the approach - divorcing the philosophy from the issues - is sound. Too many of these things ask questions about specific issues, such as gun control, abortion, or what have you, and ignore the fact that what makes you a liberal or a conservative is a philosophy, not a stand on one issue or another.

    Heh, did you score higher than a zero Patsy? ;) Just curious. I actually much lower than I thought so I will go ahead and agree with your above statement except I'll flip the salient points from "conservative" to "liberal".

    I was quite surprised to have scored a... 23? I thought I was more Right than that. Maybe it's one to many gallimaufries that are started to erode my brain ;)
