Take the Political Spectrum Quiz here

Examine and reconsider your assumptions.

The dynamic of the balance of rights vs. responsibilities has changed considerably within the past several years causing my own views to be less libertarian in 2009 than in 2000, for example, certainly much more than it was for me in 1960. This is far more a personal issue for me, as opposed to a judgment of others. We must continually examine our assumptions based on how they interface with reality. Things change. Stuff happens. We MUST adapt rationally. ~Bear Market News

Discover your place on the political spectrum! This quiz will let you know where you are on social liberties, economics, foreign policy--even the culture war. In truth, this isn't a quiz so much as a set of statements that you must agree or disagree with. Based on your responses we will place you on a graph--also termed a political compass--that separates social liberties from economic opinion. (Note: "political compass" is a term popularized by the web site of that same name. GoToQuiz.com has no affiliation with the political compass web site). We will also show you what type of foreign policy you support, and how liberal or conservative you rank in the culture war.

To discover your political labels, there are two pages of statements for you to respond to. Specify how much you agree or disagree with each. You may also specify how much each statement "matters" to you relative to the others (that is to say, just because you strongly agree with something does not mean it matters greatly to you). We'll find where you stand on the political spectrum as soon as you respond to each, starting below.
