Those who used to be called "Liberals" now pretty much avoid the term. Instead, they are "Progressives" — although of a sort with whom Teddy Roosevelt probably wouldn't have identified. If "Fighting Bob" LaFollette were alive today, he might find them compatible. The Center for American Progress offers an "Interactive Quiz: How Progressive Are You?" My score was rather low — even though I have always been in favor of progress. [Friends and acquaintances will not be shocked.]
Take it and see where you fall.

Wow. I scored 81.
ReplyDeleteOf coure, I'm feeling somewhat surly today.
I scored 157. That makes me officially more conservative than I thought, though I readily admit I'm becoming more conservative as I move along. I understand how surveys like these are generated, but I felt at several junctures like the question was asking the wrong thing and the real issue wasn't on the scale that was being measured.
ReplyDeleteNick, I feel much better about you. :) The survey was generated by liberals - so your discomfort about the questions may mean that you are even more conservative than your results indicate!
