Looks like I'm a dirty liberal as well. No real surprise, I am extremely liberal on social issues.

So am I, but I still got Enterpriser.

You know why? Because you can be fiscally conservative, while still being as socially liberal as you want.

I believe everyone should be free. But my belief extends to financial freedom as well. which puts me at odds with modern liberalism (authoritarian socialism).

Same here. At first, after I took this I thought "no way, its wrong", but then I remember that: I generally think politicians dont care about the people they represent, am extrememly pro on environmental issues, dont like big corporations like Wal-mart, dont thing what religion you are or using the fact that you are a chrisitan *cough* bush *cough*, and etc....

It's not a very good test. They lump both social conservatives AND liberals into the Enterpriser category if they are strongly for economic freedom.

This spot was on NPR yesterday. The Pew rep. said that it was interesting that Enterprisers don't care about balanced budgets anymore and that was now Liberal turf.

Liberal

Based on your answers to the questionnaire, you most closely resemble survey respondents within the Liberal typology group. This does not mean that you necessarily fit every group characteristic or agree with the group on all issues.

Liberals represent 17 percent of the American public, and 19 percent of registered voters.

It's not a very good test. They lump both social conservatives AND liberals into the Enterpriser category if they are strongly for economic freedom.

Plus, there seems to be a lot of cornerstone issues that typically divide both camps that are not addressed here.

Where are the gun control law questions for instance? And lots of them like "I am satisfied with my financial situation" really don't seem to prove much to me. I am, but not strongly...I'm young and still have a ways to go.

For me, I feel pretty strongly to the left on social issues. But I'm pretty middle of the road or right leaning on fiscal ones. So of course I fell to the left.

Thats interesting. Balanced budgets do concern me greatly. I believe the government should see itself as a business entity and function as such. As it is, they seem to have no intention or plan whatsoever to pay off the mounting debt.
