Political Tests and the Like

So I thought it might be interesting to take a few random surveys to see where I come out on various political compasses. Especially to see whether I have moved a whole lot after being at Columbia for 2+ years. Plus it seemed interesting to see if the tests were reasonably consistent.

The first one was a reasonably short politics test from OK Cupid.


You are a

Social Liberal
(78% permissive)

and an...

Economic Conservative
(60% permissive)

You are best described as a:

Democrat

Also: The OkCupid Dating Persona Test


The second one was a very very short (read: horribly inaccurate?) 10 question test, but the break down does indeed seem reasonable.










Your Political Profile



Overall: 40% Conservative, 60% Liberal

Social Issues: 25% Conservative, 75% Liberal

Personal Responsibility: 25% Conservative, 75% Liberal

Fiscal Issues: 50% Conservative, 50% Liberal

Ethics: 50% Conservative, 50% Liberal

Defense and Crime: 50% Conservative, 50% Liberal




The next one was the most comprehensive test. Political compass is probably the best known of the three.

There I get the following results:
Economic Left/Right: -0.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.00


Lastly, at the distributive justice site I got:
Social creation game: Welfare state > Meritocracy > Minimal State = Strict Egalitarianism > Communism
Distributive Justice Theory Game: Pluralist

I don't know if there is really a cohesive result to any of this, but you get the general idea.
