Lately I found a quiz from a forum that I regularily visist(unfortunately am not a member)

http://www.orgburo.com/pofoquiz/pofo.php

My results were:

Overall, the PoliticsForum quiz considers you a socially-orientated, materialist, small-government, internationalist, protectionist, controlled-market kind of person, who also seems quite Marxist.

Individual vs Social
"The individualist believes that society works best through a focus on individual rights, freedoms, actions and responsibilities. The social thinker believes that the ideal state should focus more upon collective action and take a social approach to rights and responsibilities."


Individual Social

You scored 68 out of 100 on a scale of Individual vs Social. This means that politically you are more likely to value the need for group actions and group benefit over individual enterprise and benefit.

Theist vs Materialist
"The materialist believes that all objective criteria to influence politics can be reasonably derived without recourse to the divine or the spiritual. The theist believes that spiritual beliefs are important and should influence government policy."


Theist Materialist

You scored 77 out of 100 on a scale of Theist vs Materialist. This means that politically you are more likely to believe that religion and spirituality are superstitions that should not inform political debate

Big Government vs Small Government
"The big government advocate believes that governments should be responsible for regulating a wide array of social practices, even what might be considered personal decisions such as abortion, euthanasia, children's education and births. A small government advocate thinks that, wherever possible, these issues should be up to individuals or companies to direct."


Big Gov Small Gov

You scored 62 out of 100 on a scale of Big Government vs Small Government. This means that politically you are more likely to believe that government should keep out of legislating social policies, leaving such decisions to individuals.


Nationalist vs Internationalist
"The nationalist believes in the sovereign rule of nation states, particularly his or her own. The internationalist believes that there should be more important international fora and perhaps, ultimately, international government."


National International

You scored 85 out of 100 on a scale of Nationalist vs Internationalist. This means that politically you are more likely to favour international bodies over national ones.


Protectionist vs Free Trader
"The protectionist believes in barriers against free trade most probably due to a belief that this is in his or her country's interests. The free trader rejects such notions, believing that the system ultimately suffers when tariffs, subsidies and other obstacles to free trade persist."


Protection Free-Trade

You scored 25 out of 100 on a scale of Protectionist vs Free Trader. This means that politically you are less likely to favour free trade over protectionist policies.



Absolutist vs Non-Absolutist
"The absolutist believes that either a divine presence or scientific laws provide absolute truths about the world, which can and should be applied in practise. The non-absolutist may be either a relativist, or simply someone who is more pragmatic."


Absolute Non-Absolute

You scored 47 out of 100 on a scale of Absolutist vs Non Absolutist. This means that politically you are neither more nor less likely to believe that there is an absolute truth that may guide your ideological beliefs.


Controlled Market vs Liberal Market
"Both of these categories assume a capitalist system. Assuming this system, the controlled market believer holds that government should intervene in regulating a nation's economy: wage laws, environmental standards, privatised industries and workplace relations policy. A liberal market thinker believes that such regulation is unnecessary and often counter-productive."


Controlled Liberal

You scored 16 out of 100 on a scale of Controlled Market vs Liberal Market. This means that politically you are more likely to believe that there is need for government regulation of industry.


Marxist vs Non-Marxist
"This scale purports to show to what extent you follow the thought and teachings of Marx. Marxists tend to be scientific, materialist and revolutionary, believe in class struggle and the laws of historical and dialectic materialism."


On Marxist I think I scored 16, which is quite leaning towards Marxism.

Note: This was created by a Marxist I think, but it is very open-minded.

Please post your results.
 
Fantastic Quiz. I was a Communist (no suprise).

"The PoliticsForum quiz considers you a socially-orientated, materialist, internationalist, protectionist, absolutist, controlled-market kind of person, who also seems quite Marxist."

Social individual: 74

theist materialist: 81

Big Gov Small Gov: 33

Protectionist Free trade: 20

Absolutist non abosolutist: 31

Controlled Market Liberal Market: 20


On Marxist vs. Non Marxist, I'm pretty sure I got a 20 which is very Marxist

Ha! I'm a "non-absolutist kind of person", which places me in the overall category of "being non-categorisable". I was almost straight down the middle on everything, though usually a little bit to the right of the center of the scale itself.

That is because most people are capitalist, and the only real attraction to it is individual wealth, which is quite hard to attain. So a capitalist is naturally ultra-individualistic.

Also it is "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." by Mao Tse-tung.

I think some of the questions were too broiad based, and some of them tried to link unrelated concepts. Also, some of them didnt allow for specific situations where I would agree or disagree dependig on said situation.

That said - no real surprises here:

Make up your mind, just kidding. I think its normal to waiver a little in your beliefs from time to time. Nothing is black and white when it comes to politics.
 
It claimed I was a Marxist.

Ya that's because National Socialism is still socialism. :roll:

Marxism and Nazism are completely different. Its like saying The Roman Republic is the same as a democratic republic. Not even that since Marxism isn't the same as socialism :roll:. National Socialism will actually usually have centerist or capitalistic economic policies. Hitler and Pinochet are good examples.
