A SelectSmart.com Politics Selector by paraquat99, created February 2006.
By answering twenty direct questions, this new (2006) political ideology selector will place you into one of five broad categories. These categories range from very liberal to very conservative and denote the political parties closest to representing said ideologies. Please note that this selector uses the terms "liberal" and "conservative" in regards to U.S. political ideologies. (By the way, this selector is modelled after the paper-version I give to my high-school civics students!) Disclaimer.
