Are you a Libertarian?

[Space Racer]

I read the FAQ on the WSPQ (World's Smallest Political Quiz) and they show that it is not biased.

...maybe a bit more Fundamentalist than your average Libertarian...

Couldn't get the image to come up but here are the results...close to the last test:
ec=2.50&soc=0.62

That site is a bit too simplistic. I find that this one is far better- even though it takes about 4 minutes to answer the questions.

From the FAQ for the WSPQ:

Why just 10 questions? Wouldn't more questions produce more accurate scores? Wouldn't longer questions, with more details, be better?

We chose 10 questions -- 10 very short ones -- because the Quiz is designed to fit on a business-card-sized handout. (Remember, it's called the "World's SMALLEST Political Quiz.") And we also want the Quiz to be easy, fast, and fun. Too many questions, or too many words, would get in the way of that.

When we put the Quiz on the Web in 1996, we wanted to keep the same questions and wording, in part because the short wording keeps the Quiz fast and easy, and in part to remain consistent with the popular print version.

We've tried tests with larger numbers of questions, and haven't found any more accuracy using them. The 10 questions seem to be enough to pinpoint most people's political leanings -- and that's enough for the purposes of the Quiz.

Can't argue that took both tests and results are the basically the same. Are you saying that you helped developed the short test there racer? Thank you very much

[Space Racer]

No.

[Mr Bill]

That little quiz is great for Libertarian's to recruit new members, but the questions are deeply skewed to put most everyone in the Libertarian quadrant.

I'm always leery of these tests because they tend to have a built-in bias.

Having said...I consider myself a conservative libertarian.

I fit into that category also, maybe more libertarian/conservative... and both tests proved it. The simple test was a bit more decisive than the big one... IMO the questions in the big one were kinda vague and questionably worded.

Did anyone else just sort of play with the answers to get different scores? I did, and I would bet dollars to doughnuts I know exactly how you guy's voted.
