Here is a simple political test to see which party you should be in. I got this in high school and always thought it was pretty right on.
(Beginning from the extreme LEFT)
Communist, Radical, Liberal, American Independent, Conservative, Reactionary, Fascist

The scales are rated from 1 to 10 in intensity and orientation. It will show both arguments. If you agree with the left wing statement pick a low number, if you agree with the right wing statement pick a high number, if you are moderate pick a number in the middle. Left wing arguments go first than right wing after the end (for instance if I think flag burning is OK I'd pick a low number, if I didn't I'd pick a high number. If you agree with the first argument pick a low number but if you agree with the second argument pick a high number) . Write this down or print it out and circle your answers. Results will be at the end!
