Apparently, I'm a 13.

*insert obligatory complaint that the quiz is unfair and biased and simplistic*

No but seriously, some of the questions on there are pretty stupid. Do I trust players or team owners more? I don't care about sports, so how should I know? And what does that have to do with politics? On at least six of the questions, my real answer was something more complex than just "agree" or "disagree" or "pick one choice," so depending on how I had swung those, I could have ended up anywhere from 20 to 10.

I loved this agree/disagree, BTW:

22. Talk radio shows should be regulated to ensure both sides of a debate are represented, because talk radio has an unhealthy impact on the political process.

So considering that talk radio is predominantly conservative, they would want to inhibit free-speech to keep it even? Thats neither conservative or liberal.

From http://www.self-gov.org/quiz.html

Quote:
LIBERALS usually embrace freedom of choice in personal matters, but tend to support significant government control of the economy. They generally support a government-funded "safety net" to help the disadvantaged, and advocate strict regulation of business. Liberals tend to favor environmental regulations, defend civil liberties and free expression, support government action to promote equality, and tolerate diverse lifestyles.


CONSERVATIVES tend to favor economic freedom, but frequently support laws to restrict personal behavior that violates "traditional values." They oppose excessive government control of business, while endorsing government action to defend morality and the traditional family structure. Conservatives usually support a strong military, oppose bureaucracy and high taxes, favor a free-market economy, and endorse strong law enforcement.
