In sending out the subject quizzes in the last post I mentioned that these "quizzes ... may tell you more about yourself than you actually know." For instance one white Democrat reader who voted for BO both times wrote that his analysis is that "he is a very liberal black man."
Below are eight additional responses that give a good cross section of the results received. RTE has a very diverse readership – the one thing I have found over the years is that any one who subscribes for a few months & reads the posts with an open mind does become more libertarian.
Based on these nine results & the others you can see how the Republican Party ran into trouble in the last election – many voters are strong financial conservatives & liberal on social issues. More about this in upcoming posts but in the meantime thanks to everyone who participated. These types of quizzes are fun & insightful.
1. Quiz #1 shows that I am Conservative Republican. Quiz #2 says I am Libertarian. Thanks, I did learn something about myself!
2. Hi Doug - I came up "very conservative " (but I hate that term!) on Quiz 1. Quiz 2 I came out a 60 on personal and 80 on economic and a "libertarian"
3. Hi Doug - On the first quiz, I came up as a Moderate Republican, Quiz #2, Centrist.
4. Scored liberal.
5. Scored very conservative Republican on first Quiz & right on the line between Conservative/Centrist on the second Quiz.
6. Here is my score: Quiz 1 Conservative---- almost at the end of the scale. Quiz 2 Centrist---at the top right corner between Libertarian & Conservative.
7. Political Quiz: Economic Issues: more conservative than a Tea Party Republican; Social Issues: more liberal than a liberal Democrat; Overall: Between moderate Republican and Average Republican. Second Quiz: Personal Issues: 70%; Economic Issues: 90%; Recommended Political Party: Libertarian.
8. Not surprisingly I ended up on quiz #1 a moderate to strong Republican. On economy I was off the charts Republican. On social issues I was moderate to liberal Democrat. On quiz #2 I was a 90% Libertarian.
Doug - I just did the quiz before I opened your e-mail. The results of the quiz are identical to the response #8.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting results. These quizzes are fun but also enlightening.
ReplyDeleteDoug - sorry late reply. No surprises I came out as very conservative in quiz 1 and libertarian quiz 2.
ReplyDeleteI already tried the quizzes but haven't yet receive the results.
ReplyDeleteDon't know why you are not getting results Kelly. Please go to the post right before this one which has the quizzes - it is entitled "Two Quizzes." I think the results should come up. Please let me know how you make out.
