| The OKCupid Politics Test is quite good. More interesting questions than your average political-opinion test, and not biased towards telling everyone they're Libertarian like the Libertarian version is. That said, it still told me I'm Libertarian, being 70% socially permissive and 71% economically permissive. Which apparently means I have similar political ideology to that of Adam Sandler's hair or the solar plexus of some olden days bloke in a wig, maybe a french revolutionary or Thomas Jefferson or something. My result plot is probably available here. I particularly like their messy method of showing the ideologies of famous people, and enjoy that everyone 'west' of center has either an evil frown or a false-looking smile, and everyone 'east' looks happy or amused. Even Mr Anarchist Anorak looks vaguely chipper, if a bit cross. I suppose Monsieur Vader might be grinning merrily, too, under the apparatus, perhaps fondly remembering the appalling flying CGI fruit of yesteryear. It's also nice to get a set of poll results with a 'known' sample bias ("people who are on okcupid or taking tests therefrom"), though the bias is either surprising or frightening, maybe both, in that Bush-supporters only slightly trail Kerry-supporters, where I would have expected an anti-Bush bias from online nerds. Gun-control and war-on-drugs are breaking even; pro-choice and anti-death-penalty are winning; very few OKCupiders like the war on Iraq. [07:14] |

| You are a Social Liberal (75% permissive) and an... Economic Liberal (10% permissive) You are best described as a: Socialist You exhibit a very well-developed sense of Right and Wrong and believe in economic fairness. |

| Funny note - everyone gets the description "You exhibit a very well-developed sense of Right and Wrong and believe in economic fairness," regardless of what they are "best described as". Even totalitarians. |
