Take this quiz, and don't be shy of showing your results.

Here are mine:

Conservative/Progressive score: 3
You are a conservative (social conservative that is). You believe in traditional values, and don't want the popular media telling you how to think or what to do. You are probably a religious person who believes that the bible is a very good judge of what is right and what is wrong.

Capitalist Purist/Social Capitalist score: 8

You are a Moderate Capitalist. You support an economy that is by and large a free market, but has public programs to help people who can't help themselves or need a little help. Pretty much you believe in the American economy how it currently is.

Libertarian/Authoritarian score: 3

You are libertarian. You think that the government is making way too many unnecessary laws that are taking away our innate rights. You believe that the government's job is primarily to protect people from harming other people, but after that they should mind their own business, and if we give the government too much power in controlling our lives, it can lead to fascism.

Pacifist/Militarist score: 10

You're a Militarist. You believe that since the United States has so much power in the world, it has a responsibility to keep the world safe. You think that if the US does not exert its power in the world, it may eventually lose its power, and that we cannot look weak in the face of terrorists, and must take them out where they live.

Overall, you would most likely fit into the category of Moderate

Conservative/Progressive score: 4
You are a social moderate. You think the progressive movement is usually well intentioned, but is sometimes too extreme in its ways. You want to help minorities get ahead in life, but you also don't think its fair to give minorities an unfair advantage in life either.

Capitalist Purist/Social Capitalist score: 12
You're a Social Capitalist, you think that, left to its own, Capitalism leaves a lot of people behind. You think that Health Care should be free to all, that the minimum wage should be raised, and that the government should provide jobs to all that are capable of having them. You likely hated the Bush tax cuts, and believe that the middle class has gotten poorer, and the rich have gotten richer over the past several years. The far extreme of social capitalism is socialism.

Libertarian/Authoritarian score: 4
You're a Moderate. You think that we all have certain inalienable rights that must be protected, but that sometimes laws need to be made to protect the majority's lives or quality of lives. You might think that the 2nd amendment isn't necessary anymore because letting everyone a gun is extremely dangerous to the community. You might also be against illegal drug use or public pornography because of its possible harmful effects to society.

Pacifist/Militarist score: 6
You're a Moderate. You think that in very rare occasions, the United States should invade a country in order to make the world better by spreading democracy or ending a tyrants rule. You also think that defense is very important, and we shouldn't lower the defense budget. You think that, while the Iraq War probably was a mistake, that we can make the world a better place by sticking with it and spreading democracy in the middle east.

Overall, you would most likely fit into the category of Democrat

Pacifist/Militarist score: 3
You're a Pacifist. You are angered that the United States thinks it should dominate the world through its military force. You think that the only time war is necessary is when we are in direct danger of being attacked. You also believe the US spends way too much of its money on defense, as we can practically cut it in half and still easily defend ourselves, and use that money to fix all our economic problems.

Conservative/Progressive score: 9

I defiantly would have ended up more moderate on the military questions had they been asked a little differently.  Over-all, good test, though.

I got Social Moderate ( 8 ); Moderate Capitalist ( 8 ); Authoritarian (10); Militarist (10).

Not terrible I suppose. The first is the only one that looks a little off my PM score, but that may because the Social scale and Lib/Auth scale are combined on the PM.

The following are your scores. They are based on a gradual range of 0 to 12. For instance, a Conservative/Progressive score of 3 and 0 will both yield a result of social conservative, yet 0 would be an extreme conservative and 3 a moderate conservative

Conservative/Progressive score: 8

You are a social moderate. You think the progressive movement is usually well intentioned, but is sometimes too extreme in its ways. You want to help minorities get ahead in life, but you also don't think its fair to give minorities an unfair advantage in life either.

Capitalist Purist/Social Capitalist score: 11

You're a Social Capitalist, you think that, left to its own, Capitalism leaves a lot of people behind. You think that Health Care should be free to all, that the minimum wage should be raised, and that the government should provide jobs to all that are capable of having them. You likely hated the Bush tax cuts, and believe that the middle class has gotten poorer, and the rich have gotten richer over the past several years. The far extreme of social capitalism is socialism.

Libertarian/Authoritarian score: 4

You're a Moderate. You think that we all have certain inalienable rights that must be protected, but that sometimes laws need to be made to protect the majority's lives or quality of lives. You might think that the 2nd amendment isn't necessary anymore because letting everyone a gun is extremely dangerous to the community. You might also be against illegal drug use or public pornography because of its possible harmful effects to society.

Pacifist/Militarist score: 0

You're a Pacifist. You are angered that the United States thinks it should dominate the world through its military force. You think that the only time war is necessary is when we are in direct danger of being attacked. You also believe the US spends way too much of its money on defense, as we can practically cut it in half and still easily defend ourselves, and use that money to fix all our economic problems.

Overall, you would most likely fit into the category of Democrat (Clinton, Kennedy, Carter).

Conservative/Progressive score: 11
You are a social progressive. You think that the government should be in the process of making sure people of all races/gender/sexuality be treated equally. This applies to affirmative action programs, gay marriage, immigration, and many others.

Capitalist Purist/Social Capitalist score: 10

Libertarian/Authoritarian score: 0
You are libertarian. You think that the government is making way too many unnecessary laws that are taking away our innate rights. You believe that the government's job is primarily to protect people from harming other people, but after that they should mind their own business, and if we give the government too much power in controlling our lives, it can lead to fascism.

Highly simplistic. I find it interesting that it assumes that you're a capitalist. I am also amused by the fact that they liken me to Bill Clinton.
