Ever wonder where your beliefs were on the LIBERAL versus CONSERVATIVE scale. Here is an easy way to find out by taking this short 25 question quiz.
The following quiz was written by Victor Kamber and Bradley S. O'Leary and appeared in the October 28-30, 1994 issue of USA Weekend. Before you vote in the next election, take this quick, quiz to see where - and with whom - you really stand.

they had me almost where Thatcher is, yet, some of their placing of the “international chart” (unless they are talking only international issues) is WAAAAY off!
39
same here, up one from the last time I took this quiz.
I scored the same...for the same reasons. :)
Its not that I don't think the CIA or FBI are necessary but I don't trust 'em, and the IRS? Do libs trust the IRS? If so they really are mentally unstable. I guess libs trust the IRS to take money out of other peoples pockets.
38 here!
I scored a 34. Why so low? Had to do w/ phrasing of questions.
#2: Didn’t answer many of them. I don’t trust ANY branch of government AT ALL except DOD, only because I have to.
#11; Building prisons does not stop crime. Building prisons is just part of building a giant criminal justice bureaucracy, which like the public welfare bureaucracy, does not solve the underlying problem. Yes, our cities must be rebuilt, but not by government handouts. Instead, we need to DEREGULATE business and give tax breaks to stimulate business generation. We need to reinforce family values (#23) and promote belief in the Lord (#17). That’s the only way to get to the source of the crime problem.
#19; I’m against banning “deceptive” campaign ads. No censorship on political speech!
#25; “Certain” environmental problems require government intervention. Well, yes, I believe at some level there should be government oversight of environmental issues. Nobody wants to see the Cuyahoga River catch fire again. But, let’s be real here....
So, other than that, I guess I passed most litimus tests.
Well..I scored a 34 ...As of now I ‘m not quite a Reagan. On the positive side of things ...not bad for a person from and still living in California, but I’m working toward improvement.
I Scored A 36 Too.......

This test is MUCH better, and plots you on a chart as well.
No offense, GeorgiaDawg!
34
would have guessed a 35
I scored a 37...I guess I have work to do to get to the Gipper’s score of 40.
Ha! I got a 40, which is a required score to have usage of my screen name on FR! Glad you like it!

I guess we can both thank Rush for that name tribute to President Reagan.
37 and proud of it, though some of the questions were a little loaded.
I got a 32, and I feel the same way!
