So, you think you know where you stand, politically. Think again. The result from this short test may surprise you and give you some food for thought.

You'll be asked just 10 questions, and then it instantly tells you where you stand politically. It shows your position as a red dot on a "political map" so you'll see exactly where you score.

The most interesting thing about the Quiz is that it goes beyond the Democrat, Republican, and Independent.

The Quiz has gotten a lot of praise. The Washington Post said it has "gained respect as a valid measure of a person's political leanings." The Fraser Institute said it's "a fast, fun, and accurate assessment of a person's overall political views." Suite University said it is the "most concise and accurate political quiz out there."

I'm a liberal - I believe :secret:government should stay out of our private lives but has a role in the economy, mainly protecting people from the effects of raw, unregulated capitalism.

There may be a lot of libertarians around here. Most would vote Republican I think because they identify with small government, feeling that people should generally be responsible for themselves, while liberals subscribe more to the idea of big government and the nanny state.

No, Tarheel, I'm not in favor of the "nanny" state, but I'm in favor of protecting the powerless from the powerful, when therer's not a level playing field.

There's no need to insult those who disagree with you.

Please do not remind me of Thermodynamics.

The last undergraduate semester, I had to pass a Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer course in order to graduate. That "D" was the most wonderful grade I ever earned.
