leaning towards conservative. I would have liked to see more of a middle of the road option with foreign policy and trade/money, though. But no quiz is perfect.

2004 Election
Bush 92%, Kerry 1%. Bush?s most reliable supporters (just 4% of Enterprisers did not vote)

We vote. We vote Republican.

I didn’t agree entirely with the description. I’m strongly religious, and I believe the gov’t does have some role in assisting the poor (yeah, so sue me).

There really wasn’t a conservative choice.

In any case, I came out conservative.

heh, I am protecting my quiz I guess. But this one is good for people that want explanations of their results, or at least assumptions

I was listed as an “Enterpriser”, the quiz says only 9 percent of people fall into this category.

And I make no apologies: if Martin Luther King, Jr rose to plagiarism, how could I do any less? Just kidding: I tried to make the references to your idea blatant in my mini-diary so that it would be clear that I was just glomming onto your idea.

Looks like you ended up right in my little quadrant: that doesn’t really surprise me.

heck I only write a diary a year at best I still think political compass is better, it makes me seem almost normal lol.

Here are my results for your test, I am located in the libertarian zone, on the upper right border.

was a bit too focused on domestic politics (I was definitely libertarian, but leaning towards conservative), but it is, IMO, a bit better in that it allows you to assent to a line of thought, rather than an agree/disagree dichotomy and having to deal with odd phrasings.

though that little star was awfully close to the Conservative quarter of that pie chart….which is probably about right.

I’m not sure, but I think the term libertarian here refers to the original meaning which actually described most of the founding fathers, (I hope

I came up as a libertarian. Perhaps it’s a mistake for me to reveal that information here. But there it is. I really read Redstate to learn more than anything else, so hopefully it won’t cause any trouble.
