Huolimatta hieman johdattelevista kysymyksistä suosittelen tätä 24 kysymyksen mielipidetestiä:


European Political Ideologies
A SelectSmart.com® Selector
By Douglas Dowell
Most political quizzes are geared to an American audience. "Liberal" means left, "Conservative" means right, and a whole range of European positions don't exist. This selector is intended to rank political philosophies and their subsections for you in European terms. In order for this quiz to work properly, answer with the longer term and general principles in mind. In other words, if you believe in the abolition of the private sector, answer on that basis even if you have a thousand-year timescale in mind! For those who wish to know my bias, I came out as a "social liberal".


Sain itse allaolevan tuloksen, jota pidän kohtalaisen osuvana:

  • My #1 result for the SelectSmart.com selector, European Political Ideologies, is You are an anarcho-capitalist. Anarcho-capitalists take the Jeffersonian belief that "that government is best which governs least", and extend it - "that government is best which governs not at all". The theory of anarcho-capitalism is that the market can replace the state as a regulator of individual behaviour (resulting in private courts, private policing etc.).


  • My #2 result for the SelectSmart.com selector, European Political Ideologies, is You are a market liberal. You adhere to the traditional liberal belief in freedom, and take this to mean negative rather than positive freedom - i.e. a slimmed-down state is the best guarantor of freedom. You will therefore support a laissez-faire economic policy, and you will be reasonably tolerant on the social front - though less emphatically so than social liberals.


  • My #3 result for the SelectSmart.com selector, European Political Ideologies, is You are a libertarian conservative. You hold that the free market is the best way of organising economic activity, but you combine this with adherence to more traditional social values of authority and duty.
