[color=navy]I do not like that quiz. Not that any of them are great but this one seems to play way too much on extreme stereotypes."So, do you want to give bags of money to welfare queens or let children starve to death in the streets?"

I ended up with a 10 which pegs me as Hillary Clinton.I think the quiz was weak, though...far too black and white on the answers...it was easy to tell what would be calculated as a conservative answer and what as a liberal. In real life, I'm probably overall left of the Clintons, but I'm all over the map on many issues.

I came up with 21.For anyone who wants to vote, but doesn't really have an opinion, you may want to keep this in mind.For the record, the test rules were...1: On questions where there were two choices, "heads" went to the choice on top.2: When there were three choices, and the third was "both or neither" I used rule number 1.3. On the questions where you could pick multiple answers, "heads" was checked and "tails" was left blank.  *edit*I tried it again, but this time I used an online random number generator. The generator picked numbers between 0 and 30. I used the same rules as the coin test. In this one, an even number represented "heads". An odd number represented "tails". The result...I came up with 21. My conclusion...  Though this test probably isn't accurate for figuring out if you are Democrat or Republican, the "random" version is probably accurate for how people (who don't really have opinions of their own, but still go to the polls) tend to vote in elections.

It's painfully obvious that this test is designed to prove that folks are more conservative than they think they are. A particular gem was question 24:24. Woman and racial minorities should be given preferences in hiring until we achieve true gender and racial equality in America.What a ridiculously ham-fisted reading of affirmative action. Of course I said yes out of spite.

Most of the country is Libertarian to Centrist, and yet we are constantly choosing between candidates to the Left and the Right of the public. I've seen other similar polls, and it tells you there's a huge opportunity for a 3rd party (or 4th) if someone could ever build one that could win elections. Unlike the Libertarian party of today.

Most of the country is Libertarian to Centrist, and yet we are constantly choosing between candidates to the Left and the Right of the public. I've seen other similar polls, and it tells you there's a huge opportunity for a 3rd party (or 4th) if someone could ever build one that could win elections. Unlike the Libertarian party of today.    While I'll agree that most Americans have a libertarian bent, I wouldn't take that percentage too seriously. The Worlds Smallest Political Test was created by the Libertarian party - so it asks leading questions that skew the results. That being said, I do think it presents a more nuanced and useful spectrum. For instance, I'm a pretty strident leftist, but I also believe in de-centralized, smaller government.
