How progressive are you?
http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2009/03/progressive_quiz.html ^

Posted on 12/30/2009 6:38:36 PM PST by Slyhunter

This thing was designed for liberals but I took it and scored "very conservative 104". It claims the average American is 209. I was wondering, if more folks from Free Republic took that quiz would the Average American score lower more?

I put 5 for every loaded question.
10 for every pro conservative question and 0 for every pro Lib.
got 65/400 very conservative.

Such silliness. (still fun)

88/400. Some ok questions, some stupid questions. It interesting what they consider “extremely conservative”. I should retake the test and answer what I know are the “correct” answers to see if 400/400 is “extremely” liberal, or if they use some more benign word.

Also notice that 209 is considered the normal score which is “slightly on the liberal side”....yeah right.

166. Even though that’s a “conservative” score it seems a bit too high.

46/400, "Extremely Conservative".

I take from that, desireble traits of a good progressive would be fascist/statist, since I am more libertarian than traditional conservative.

I did it 3 times slightly changing my answers each time.

I got 103/400 a 95/400 and 97/400.

I appear to be the on a left-wing of people posting on this thread. ;-D

But still well to the right of the alleged “conservative Republican” score of 160/400.

I’ve seen a ton of these, several UK ones even an Aussie 1 or 2. Most bl0w. Never seen this one before.

Nor do I recall a one that measures how neo or paleo you are. And I certainly have never seen the British one you mention. Too bad. Those 2 sound fun.
