Conservative? Liberal? Republican? Democrat? No matter how you vote, it's unlikely that any one of these words perfectly reflects your views. Politcal beliefs are often intuitive and personal, and no party, platform, candidate or external label can encompass them exactly.
We at OkCupid designed this test to explore our users' ecomonic and social ideas and then place them into the spectrum of political thought: liberal, conservative, progressive, radical, and so on. We tried to accurately translate a person's own sense of where he stands into a place in the real poiltical world.
OkCupid's Politics Test is short and, as always, highly accurate. At the end, you'll get nifty graphs and charts, and you can compare your score to both your friends' and famous people's. Cheers.
(The Politics Test was designed for Americans but we welcome all takers. Thanks!)

My results: Social Liberal (70% permissive) and an... Economic Liberal (36% permissive) You are best described as a: Democrat You exhibit a very well-developed sense of Right and Wrong and believe in economic fairness. This test is rigged IMO for the Democrats. I bet the only two possible outcomes are R or D. What a choice!
Nah...............it said i was a social liberal, and best fit as a Libertarian. Odd, they didn't ask for my opinions on open borders, etc. Tests like these have too many questions wanting an answer that fits their pre- definied ideal.......for instance, I am against prayer in school, but it isn't for any of the typical separation of church and state bullshit. Jesus said we're to pray in our 'closet'. While I'm most always very opinionated, some questions warranted just a plain old 'agree' or 'disagree' rather than 'strongly agree' or 'strongly disagree'. I take that as meaning I am open to the possibility of a change in opinion IF I am shown convincing evidence. Surely that flaws or skews the test. Were there only Agree or Disagree, the results would be different because I wouldn't allow for leeway.
This test is rigged. I am about as socially conservative as they come, yet it said I was 70% socially liberal.
