I found it: http://www.okcupid.com/politics

I'm a social moderate and an economic conservative. No big surprise there.

Bob

"Strong Democrat"
not surprised
I got 81% social liberal and 26% economic liberal.
Some of the questions were hard to answer like "most people don't know what's
best for them". I totally agree, most people don't know what's best for them
but I think that if you answer it like that you are implying that more
regulation is needed and that isn't something I would imply. People make
stupid decisions all the time based on poor information and specious
reasoning, but that's the cool thing about living here, you get to make
whatever decisions you want and you get to learn as much or as little as you
like to get by.

The most interesting thing about the Quiz is that it goes beyond the
Democrat, Republican, Independent. The Quiz has gotten a lot of praise.
The Washington Post said it has "gained respect as a valid measure of a
person's political leanings." The Fraser Institute said it's "a fast,
fun, and accurate assessment of a person's overall political views."
Suite University said it is the "most concise and accurate political

It pegged me as liberal, which I guess is accurate. On some issues, I am
liberal, on some I am conservative. That survey was not informative to
me.

You have to admit however, that it identified some of rfc's

I got scored as a Liberal, leaning towards Libertarian. ;-)
Not too surprised... but then they did not ask about gun rights.

I finally sent off my CHL packet. Hoping I'll be licensed to carry here
soon.......

I don't believe in Partisan politics.
I think that all that does in interfere with "taking care of business".

Interesting. I finally got the test to load and here are my results:

Social Liberal 65% permissive
Economic Liberal 35% permissive

Best described as a Democrat.

You exhibit a very well developed sense of right and wrong and believe
in Economic fairness.

Fascinating.

I've always considered myself to be a conservative liberal. ;-)
I have strong views on both ends of the spectrum......

A good extreme would be that I strongly believe in gun rights,
but I'm also pro-choice. Where my own morals would NEVER allow me to
have an abortion (unless there were extreme medical circumstances), I
don't think that anyone has the right to take that choice away from anyone.

I also feel that ANYONE on welfare needs to do some sort of work to earn
their keep. Sewing military uniforms at home, doing community service,
something to earn their keep. Nobody deserves a totally free ride.

Om

Interesting as do consider myself an independent so I centrist fits.

Your PERSONAL issues Score is 70%.
Your ECONOMIC issues Score is 40%.

Also in good company with Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama. Not bad.

Dear zxcvbob,

Thanks for that URL, you have no idea how many responses I got when I
emailed that site to friends. It was certainly eye opening for me. I
certainly would have never labeled myself as a Totalarian or put
myself in the same quadrant as the Pope.

It continually amazes me that some people can't simply skip things
