I got.....Free Range Democrat.

"Free-Range Dems are joiners and rabble rousers. Nearly 4 in 10 have attended an organized protest - more than twice as many as any other group. Their approval of Barack Obama is more muted than other Democrats - likely because he has not gone far enough to satisfy them. Highly educated, Free-Range Dems are the whitest of the left-leaning groups. While most other liberal groups have more females than males proportionally, this group splits evenly. Nearly half are atheist or agnostic or don't identify with any particular religion. While this group skews younger, about 1 in 5 are over the age of 65, making them look a lot like hipsters and hippies who reject the brand label "Democrat." "

SPOT ON!

[The New Sea Territory]

This really doesn't tell me my political ideology. The first question presumes I want a capitalist system.

Haha well it's American politics so what do you expect? Outside the box thinking?

Progressives Progressives

Progressive Progressives are unified on a number of Democratic dogmas: 97% say government regulation of business is necessary to protect public interests; 97% say immigrants today strengthen our country; 96% say climate change is caused by human activities. Large majorities perceive the existence of income inequality and say that racial discrimination is at the root of why many blacks can't get ahead in this country. Barack Obama's approval rating is sky high among this group and they are the most likely to say the country is headed in the right direction.

They're highly educated and tend to be urbanites, ranking public transportation and being able to walk to places as important to where they live. Nearly 1 in 3 soccer aficionados identify as Progressive Progressives. They're highly engaged, both politically and within their communities - but only about 1 in 4 belongs to a church or place of worship. More than 4 in 10 say they are atheist, agnostic or unaffiliated with any religious organization. A majority use social media to broadcast their views on political and social issues. And more than 4 in 10 have pasted political bumper stickers on the sedans, small SUVs or compact cars they drive--or placed a candidate's sign in their yards.

I like it.

Then you'll like this.

[The United Colonies of Earth]

You’re a real liberal, who truly believes that government can solve the issues that concern you: income inequality, climate change, and discrimination. You’re likely following a score of political pundits on Twitter, and may even have a Darwin fish decal on your bumper.

I had to grab this by scanning the HTML.

[Nord Amour]

It refused to give me an answer. "You're willing to sit on the sidelines... We're kind of surprised you even took this quiz!"

[PaNTuXIa]

"Free Range Democrat"

i guess because of my views on immigration.

[Shizune]

It refused to give me an answer. "You're willing to sit on the sidelines... We're kind of surprised you even took this quiz!"

I got the same.

Not that I expect much of anything out of NBC anymore.

[South Shellfort]

Same here. I'm surprised.

[Esternial]

Kinda seems overly-simplistic.

[Evacillian]

APOLITICAL

Apoliticals sit on the sidelines of American politics. Nearly three-quarters say they haven't engaged in political activities in the last three years. Their opinion is split on government's role in society, as well as on immigration. Somewhat more disapprove of the job Barack Obama is doing as president than approve, 57% to 44%. And reflecting their bystander viewpoint at the international level, two-thirds, say the United States should not try to solve international conflicts.

Apoliticals take sitting on the sidelines seriously: six in ten said they had not participated in any of a list of common activities like volunteering or attending community meetings. About the same number did not belong to any of the social or community groups listed. About a third are unaffiliated with any religious organization or identify as atheist or agnostic. They are younger, tend to be less educated, and inclined to live in rural and small town settings.

Pretty accurate except for a couple things

[Washington Resistance Army]

Didn't give me an answer, though it seems a tad too simplistic.

[Farnhamia]

Kinda seems overly-simplistic.

A little but then I hate the ones that go on for page after page and have no option to say I don't care on the questions. I got Progressive Progressive.

[Xuskeuclite]

i got rock solid republican

[Herargon]

This is an American centred quiz. If you are from Europe, or another place, this quiz will be better.
If one of the options is not what you think you are or are unsatisfied with the result, look at the three highest percentages (including the top result). One of them likely is what you feel you are.


Edit: By the way, the American centred quiz says I'm apolitic. Which is exactly the opposite of what I am.

Thanks for posting I'm going go take this quiz next! I like to see what I'd be considered in other countries.

I got this for that one:

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.).

It's not accurate. Not for me anyway. I won't hesitate to admit I lean toward lighter government, but I'm certainly not an anarchist.

i dislike my answer its bland

Ah, then you could likely be considered either a libertarian or a liberal-conservative in the European perspective. As for the test results: I'm sorry that the results aren't always accurate. You can also look at the top 3 percentages-results and one of them might be closer to what you find yourself to be.

I myself for example got 'ecological green' or such, but I find myself to be closer to social democracy or social liberal. Those also were in the top, so that was no problem.

[Ochea]

I am a "Free Range Democrat" - I match more with the description for "Dems the Blues".

The quiz needs more economy questions, to determine if you are a capitalist, communist, or socialist, and this was very American-centered because of questions like this:
"Do you display the American flag on your house or car?"
Umm....I live in the United Kingdom...why would I have that flag on my house....it should just say: "Do you display the flag of your nation on your house or car?"

[Prosocial]

Half of the questions had nothing to do with politics. I'm not a Progressive Progressive, I'm an anarcho-communist. There are a lot of things I disagree with about mainline liberalism!

[The United States of the South Pole]

Took it the first time, Got Young Outsider, deleted my tab on accident and took it again. Got Blue Collar Conservative. Weird.

100% Anar-Capitalist.
What the hell?
72% Fascist
What the fuck is this Quiz.
I'm socially Libertarian, Economically Protectionist, and a Centrist on Taxes. That sure as hell ain't Ancap nor Fascism.

[South Park Labourite]

British. I got True Blue.

"True Blues are mainstream Democrats -- decidedly left of center among all Americans, but more moderate than those furthest to the left. They divide on whether the government should promote traditional values. A plurality say the government's surveillance program is balanced between fighting terrorism and protecting individuals' privacy. Approval of Barack Obama runs high, but is not as universally shared. A mostly urban group, few are likely to display an American flag (33%) and the least likely to have a gun in the home (20%). They are somewhat less politically or socially engaged, although a quarter attend church once a week."

"This is the most diverse cohort, the only one without a white majority: 35% are white, 35% are black and 23% are Hispanic. About 1 in 4 are Catholics, and about the same number are in a union househuld. Not surprisingly, they are keen on living near people from different racial and ethnic backgrounds and are the group most likely to want to live in a community with a mix of housing for people with different economic backgrounds. Nearly two-thirds see immigrants as a positive for the country. They have the highest number of basketball devoteess, but also follow football and baseball."

I guess this would be, though I' be significantly more politically/socially engaged. Also American football is more my thing than basketball.

[Nurkama]

Since this was an American quiz, some of the questions didn't apply to me, causing me to get Apolitical.
Also, I'm only 14, so the education level thing didn't apply either.
