I've just taken a test and ended up a socialist. Hurray! If you're done a test that shows what your political views are, you can post them in this thread.
(I'll enable the doHTML tag so you can copy/paste results directly here)

The HTML code didn't work so here were my results without pictures:

You are a

Social Liberal
(66% permissive)

and an...

Economic Liberal
(26% permissive)


You are best described as a:
Democrat


You exhibit a very well-developed sense of Right and Wrong and believe in economic fairness.

I was fairly close to Groot Gouda in those pictures.

I did horribly...48%... American media really doesn't cover anything but Iraq, hurricanes, and Supreme Court nominations.

And it seems that our scores on the political tests are very similar...

My result: 76% socially permissive, 26% economically permissive, "strong democrat".
They put me on Hillary Clinton's forehead.

In the non-idiotic test, I got 72%.

Okay, let's see...
Social Liberal (76% permissive) and Economic Liberal (10% permissive)

This puts me firmly into the socialist field.
Like a giant pimple on Hillary's chin, or a monkey on Gandhi's shoulder. I think I prefer the latter.


On the non-idiotic test, I got 72%.

I'm a bit of an idiot:

Middle of the road
You're aware of rougly 60% of current world events!
While you are still somewhat off from being truly well-informed of what's going on in the rest of the world, you have a fairly decent grasp of current world politics, likely because you concern yourself with events that affect the region in which you live more than anything else. If that's not the case, maybe you randomly read up on current events. If that's not it either, maybe you're just one of those sadistic bastards that likes to read up only on tragic events. if that's STILL not it, you make one hell of a good guesser. Congratulations. Chances are you could get into a good college just by guessing!


But the questions were very American-centred, with a lot about South America. I really don't know the politicians there by name. I think I scored most of my points on European, Asian and African issues.

(and what about the question about the religious war between north and south in an African country? The answer should be Sudan, I thought, but the closest was Darfur which is the name of the affected province)

I'm between the Unabomber and Jefferson. Probably about right, but the test is pretty "idiotic." On the laws people wanted to pass I saw
"I would dictate that children must be required as early as possible to take education seriously."
—SJR from Tacoma, WA
"I would dictate that people should not be allowed to vote unless they clearly understand the issues in the election."
—PAR from College Park, MD

I only got a 56% on the non-idiotic one though. I wish it would tell me the right answers.

We should be aware that the test is based primarily on U.S. politics. I think I wouldn't be on the edge of socialism in continental European standards...

I actually ended up on Gorbatsjov's forehead...I knew I was left-inclined, but not that much!
