Quiz - "How progressive are you?"...

Saw this posted on Iain Dale's blog (he's a Conservative Party UK blogger), and took the quiz myself - it is from an American stand point, but still worth doing even if you're not living in Americaland.

My score was 253/400 - "very progressive".

The average score is 209.5/400.

0 is most conservative, 400 is most liberal.

As such it's accurate for me. I'm socially liberal, financially conservative.

Some questions were hard to scale, so I settled for a mid-range 5, which I thought of as my "yes and no" answer to a question.

Anyway - enjoy and let's see what you chaps and chapettes get, but please - let's not turn this into a dick swinging, insult-laden turd festival...mmkay?

Good.

356/400 - Extremely Progressive. Oh my.

Your ideological score is:
125/400
This makes you very conservative
The average score for Americans is
209.5

Hardly surprising.

256/400 Apparently very Progressive, although most of my answers are very middle of the road.

i scored a 139/400, which seems about right.

some of those questions i felt strongly about, but a large number of them i was stuck picking 5's for.

247/400, but some of those questions were vexingly open-ended.

262/400

Very Progressive -- which surprised me since I thought I was much more moderate to conservative. Kind of an unscientific study if you ask me since many of the questions begged for further clarification. Also had always thought of myself as more on the conservative side, and this puts me to the left of the extremely liberal folks out there.

Of course, my stance on gun control could not be determined by this set of questions, so I imagine that if they went there I would have appeared to be more of a redneck and less progressive.

I honestly thought that I answered suprisingly liberally, but no.. I'm not.

**Publius** · 17-Mar-2009

103/400. I was thinking I'd be the first to break the two-digit barrier.

**sammylou** · 17-Mar-2009

No suprise, 340/400. But I would agree this is somewhat unscientific, although it is fun.

**SRP76** · 17-Mar-2009

It lists me as Progressive. 202/400. I guess I'm about as middle of the road as one can be.

**zombie04** · 17-Mar-2009

136/400

I knew I was conservative, but the questions were a little vague for scoring somebody's ideology. A fun waste of time, but still a waste.

I was 125/400 - very conservative. I don't really think of myself as very conservative. On certain issues I fall under the liberal umbrella, such as abortion for example. Oh well, that was interesting.
