You've got a few unusual political ideas, but overall you're a pretty mainstream person. Chances are that you're turned off by both the radical right and looney left.


I'd expect myself to be a bit more radical, but I guess that's just comparing myself to the Anglo-American norm.

You Are 60% Politically Radical
You've got some radical viewpoints, but you aren't completely nuts. You're more of a visionary than a radical.

Ha! I beat you in radicalism!!

(Interestingly enough, part of the reason I didn't get higher was because I tend to question juries as a mechanism. Juries violate people's liberty. They are not very knowledgeable on the law. And to give these idiots the right to control laws so heavily is open to abuse, such as was seen in the South. I mean, in some sense, I can see giving the right to have courts overturn laws, but I distrust juries. Instead of juries, we need a polycentric legal system that functions more by arbitration and other efficient methods rather than our current kind of legal system.)

56%. A lot of the statements are phrased poorly by being far too strong.

Also, I can't imagine anyone scoring too much higher than I did (I mentally translated several of the ideas to a tamer/saner version) because the "radical" ideas listed are a hodge-podge of left-wing, right-wing, libertarian, and authoritarian ideas. No remotely consistent person can answer "yes" to a large majority of the questions.

I'm at 24%, which means I'm pretty mainstream, despite a few strange ideas.

You're political views are just plain weird. A little far left, a little far right, and a whole lot of radical.


I reject the far left and far right.

You Are 4% Politically Radical
You're a very traditional person and perhaps a little resistant to change. In a few more years, your beliefs will be so old fashioned that they'll be radical!

Ok then. :lol: Just cause I don't want all drugs to be legalized! :P

I agree that the questions are poorly worded, but that tends to be the case with these questionaires.

"You're political views are just plain weird. A little far left, a little far right, and a whole lot of radical."
72%

So, I knew that my views were all over the map, but it was mainly because there was no subtlety allowed for the questions. So, I think there should be no restriction on drugs... not because I approve of currently illicit drugs, but because I know people will take them. My view on drugs is that they're disgusting, and in a perfect world wouldn't be a problem... but I won't regulate against them because I think that would be illogical, since folks will take them anyway. That makes me both left and right wing...

There were a few questions like this. Never mind...
