Absent from political authority...

Took at political test today, and this is the result:

ACCORDING TO YOUR ANSWERS,
The political description that fits you best is...LIBERAL

LIBERALS usually embrace freedom of choice in personal matters, but tend to support significant government control of the economy. They generally support a government-funded "safety net"to help the disadvantaged, and advocate strict regulation of business. Liberals tend to favor environmental regulations, defend civil liberties and free expression, support government action to promote equality, and tolerate diverse lifestyles.

This IS me...and should come as no surprise to anyone. Here is where I fit on the graph:

Here's a description of the other options:

Right (Conservative)
Conservatives tend to favor economic freedom, but frequently support laws to restrict personal behavior that violates "traditionalvalues." They oppose excessive government control of business, while endorsing government action to defend morality and the traditional family structure. Conservatives usually support a strong military, oppose bureaucracy and high taxes, favor a free-market economy,
and endorse strong law enforcement.

Libertarian
Libertarians support maximum liberty in both personal and economic matters. They advocate a much smaller government; onethat is limited to protecting individuals from coercion and violence.
Libertarians tend to embrace individual responsibility, oppose government bureaucracy and taxes, promote private charity, tolerate diverse lifestyles, support the free market, and defend civil liberties

Statist (Big Government)
Statists want government to have a great deal of power over the economy and individual behavior. They frequently doubt whether economic liberty and individual freedom are practical options in today's world. Statists tend to distrust the free market, support high taxes and centralized planning of the economy, oppose diverse lifestyles, and question the importance of civil liberties.

Centrist
Centrists espouse a "middle ground" regarding government control of the economy and personal behavior. Depending on the issue, they sometimes favor government intervention and sometimes support individual freedom of choice. Centrists pride themselves onkeeping an open mind, tend to oppose "political extremes," and emphasize what they describe as "practical" solutions to problems.

Take the quiz yourself, if you wanna, it's right here. And let me know if you ended up being what you thought you were.
