The Centre for American Progress has a new quiz up to measure how progressive (read: liberal) or conservative you just might be. It scales 40 questions from 0 (vehement disagreement) to 10 (profound agreement) with more than a few “loaded” questions, and one or two that made completely no sense.*

I scored 97/400, with the median at that time of respondents falling near the middle at 209.5% at the time I took the quiz.

Progressive Quiz

Apparently I’m an ultraconservative, though I did answer a number of questions targeted toward a neo-conservative view (particular those touching on military adventurism/interventionism) with a paleo-conservative non-interventionist attitude.

*For me, one was “Healthy economic growth requires eliminating budget deficits (true) which discourages private investments and raises interest rates.” (Huh?)Unless of course, your idea of “eliminating budget deficits” is exactly that of raising taxes and debasing the currency even further….
