My suggested law:

I would dictate that bribery of public officials (including "donating to campaigns" and "donating to Senator X's favorite charity") would be punishable by a fine: twice the amount of the bribe, from both the donor and the recipient, paid to the recipient's opponent. Bribing the opponent in order to pay the fine is punishable by not having to pay the fine...

Most interesting suggested law on the last ten:

"I would dictate that...rapists and abusers would be castorized."
—acb from sparks, nv

I'm don't think that means what acb thinks it means. Castor oil may be nasty, but it's hardly a suitable punishment.

Actually, a quick wikipedia check: The article for "Castor Oil" has a section on "Castor oil as a tool of political terror". Mussolini used it to terrorize the Italians.

So I got:

Social Moderate (56% permissive) and
Economic Liberal (20% permissive)

which is actually close to how I self-identify. Although I thought I should have come out closer to moderate on the Economic scale, too.

It would be interesting to go back and change the results on the questions I thought were fuzzy/ambiguous and see what happens.

I got what cjmr got.

I got what Jamison did -- but 63%, 23%. Who'd have thought that I was more economically liberal than him? :) I do wish the test had a "neutral" choice, rather than just agree/disagree, though, because some of the things I really didn't feel that strongly about. I wonder how that would have changed my score?

Actually I think 23% is less economically liberal than Jamison--you're closer to the centrist axis on economics than he is. If I'm reading their graphs correctly. Economically liberal means NOT economically permissive--economically restrictive (of business).

Katherine, on the economic scale it's reversed you realize. 11% is more liberal than 23%. >:) I'm really not a big fan of capitalism gone wild.

Yeah. I realized that when I was re-reading the graphs. :) LOL. That makes more sense.
I'm not a big fan of capitalism gone wild either, just appreciate a bit of free enterprise here and there. :)

So I sent this quiz link to a couple friends who are way more conservative than I am, and they ended up being identified as a Centrist and a Capitalist. I wonder how you have to answer the questions to come out in the Republican section?

This is what I scored:
Social Moderate
(55% permissive)
and an...
Economic Liberal
(35% permissive)
You are best described as a:
Centrist

You exhibit a very well-developed sense of Right and Wrong and believe in economic fairness.
