Take the quiz, FReepers, and find out where you stand economically.

Not your net worth, but your understanding of economics, that is.

If you want to, post your score(s) on this thread. Tell us why you answered some of the questions the way you did. Where you disagree, say why and see if you can defend your case with links to Web pages if you have them.

The quiz will take a few minutes (typically 30) to complete, so take your time. Although it's multiple-choice, don't expect to find many questions you'll be able to answer in the traditional way, by discarding the blatantly wrong ones. Many answers will seem reasonable to the average person, so read them all carefully and look for (sometimes subtle) differences.

Don't feel too badly if you answer some of the questions in the socialist manner. That's commonly the case, even among those who have studied what passes for economics.

NO FAIR LOOKING AHEAD!!! Take the test first, then you can see other scores and comments and post your own.

[NOTE: Scoring is done automatically after you click on the submit button. You won't need to check your e-mail to learn how you did, in spite of what they say above.]

OK, I've never taken a course in economics and had no initial idea what the Austrian school was all about. At the risk of being permanently booted off of FR, I will admit my score: 50. I won't go into the breakdown except to state a point in my favor: I didn't select any of the "socialist" answers. :)

It was a very interesting & helpful quiz. I scored a 69 -- all Austrian & Chicago answers. I'm not studied as an economist, as my field is much more politics, but I'm interested in exploring the Austrian viewpoint, and I have friends who embrace this perspective. Some of the answers seemed to reflect a view more libertarian than conservative, hence my Chicago answers. Some questions did not have an option that accurately reflected my beliefs (which would fall somewhere between Chicago & Austrian) so I just picked the option that seemed closest to my viewpoint.

I got 84/100. I guess that makes me a subscriber to the Austrian school of economics.
