Where are you on the political map?

Arundel Pajo · Post by **Arundel Pajo** » April 17, 2004, 9:06 am

Harvard is doing an informal political study. Take the quiz (very short) HERE and log your results in this poll! I'm kinda curious how VV pans out, politically.

Me...I'm a secular centrist, it seems.

If I left off any group in the study, let me know...

edit, becahs tiping > mee

Religious centrist, which is odd, because I beleive that religion should have no role in government and I'm not concerned about gay marriages.

Secular Centrists are liberals in denial.

You are a Traditional Liberal. Traditional liberals like you tend to be:

Against pre-emptive strikes as a policy.
Strongly supportive of gay rights.
Of the belief that immigration has been good for this country.
Supportive of affirmative-action.
Oppose tax cuts as an economic policy.
Of the belief that basic health insurance is a right.

Secular Centrist. Lame test though, I thought. They always need more details.

Yeah it's a retarded test. "DO YOU SUPPORT INVADING OTHER COUNTRIES? YES/NO"

if you pick no it puts you in the liberal category.

it's also a pretty loaded question. speaking as someone who is more left than I am right, I would still support invading another country pre-emptively if said country's leader was pounding on his podium and demanding the deaths of everyone in my homeland while simultaneously building up his military to wartime proportions. I would not however invade a country with no evidence of any military at all and a leader who hasn't mentioned anything about my country in 10+ years.

There's only one question that would really seperate you from being a secular conservative or a religious conservative.

this test is more like a set of questions asking if you like Bush or not. I thought Harvard was a good university. This is terrible.

You are a Traditional Conservative. Traditional conservatives like you tend to be:

Supportive of pre-emptive strikes.
Of the belief that gay relationships are morally wrong.
In support of religion playing a more important role in government.
Opposed to affirmative action.
Of the belief that tax cuts tend to stimulate the economy.

this test is stupid, i responded against pre-emptive strikes, in support of gays, and nuetral to religion in gov't. it needs more details to be accurate.

One thing that bugs me. Traditional Conservatives, to my knowledge, are not ones to advocate pre-emtive attacks (neocons do however) and the whole religious moral compas thing got introduced by Reagan. Maybe I am off base, here, but when I think of traditional conservative, people like Nixon, Eisenhower, and the like. Newt and Dole were traditional conservatives (though the Jesus Crispies made poor Beltway Bob bow down to them), but certainly not that supercorperation sitting in the White House now. That questionaire really is pretty stacked with loaded questions.

that quiz did suck. I say find a better quiz and make a new thread for it.

Midnyte_Ragebringer · Post by **Midnyte_Ragebringer** » April 18, 2004, 1:10 pm

The quiz seems to work fine the way it is. It clearly seperates the smart, long-term thinkers from the short-sighted, not so bright people.

Only 4 Tradtional Conservatives and a fuck ton of liberals and secular centrists.

...because being predjutice against gays, yearning for a militant christian country and supporting the invasion of innocent countrys makes you smart, long term thinkers...
that is really all that test asks

People like you are the number one thing wrong with the US today. And I would express the same sentiment had you fallen elsewhere on the political spectrum.

I weep for your children as they have no hope. But hey, you're a moron's moron so keep squirting your retard juice into your poor wife; it's more people to pass on the problems simpletons like you are creating

Holy shit, you mean you're in a minority? Actually, I don't think anything could be more comforting to the rest of us =p

The quiz is far too short and pretty much everyone probably saw something in the list of things they tend to believe that didn't gel. I sure as shit don't believe affirmative action helps minorities and it screws over people who deserve placements reserved for said minorities.
