    82% Liberal, 18% Conservative: sounds right.

    But I don't really agree with the poll. This one does a much better job, as it actually asks for your opinion on modern day political issues: http://www.isidewith.com/political-quiz

    Hah, 80% Conservative. And yet, I'm liberal on most issues. I must be weird.

    Conservative:

    Overall, I'd consider myself slightly liberal.

    No surprise.

    So I think we can say that the conservative-liberal dichotomy is a load of crap, no? That it is actually possible to disagree with, say, both Pelosi and Boehner?

    Quite a revelation!

    Well, it's more than political belief isn't always tied to personality traits. It is in a lot of cases, but not always.

    68% Conservative 32% Liberal on the time survey

    On the survey M.G. linked I got:

    Parties you side with...
    79%Republicans

    53%Democrats

    46%Libertarians

    37%Green Party

    24%Socialist

    I guess I'm all over the place...but thats because of things like being Pro-Life AND Anti-death penalty

    70% conservative. I think the failure of the test for me is that it measures a social conservatism -- where I would count as conservative -- and makes no distinction for economic conservatism where I swing far in the other direction.

    It also gives the impression that the test is actually binary and it doesn't matter if you slightly or strongly prefer dogs to cats.

    Lol, I'm 94% Democrat on the other poll. Funny how my 70% conservatism translates to actual policy issues.

    Digging into the results I found:

    That's a nice, simple distillation of things.

    Agreed. I got 89% Liberal, but when it comes to economic policy, I'm for a hands off approach. However, I agree that I'm more liberal. Frankly, I find social conservatism to be disgusting -- we'll look back in 50 years and laugh about how ridiculous it was.
