I found a new test. It places test takers into one of nine political categories. Give it a whirl and post your test result. My test result was Enterpriser.
Conservative Democrat Based on your answers to the questionnaire, you most closely resemble survey respondents within the Conservative Democrat typology group. This does not mean that you necessarily fit every group characteristic or agree with the group on all issues.
Conservative Democrats represent 14 percent of the American public, and 15 percent of registered voters.
Basic Description Conservative Democrats’ religious orientation and conservative views on many social and political issues set this group apart from the other Democratic-leaning groups, Liberals and Disadvantaged Democrats. Conservative Democrats’ views are moderate with respect to key policy issues such as foreign policy, regulation of the environment and the role of government in providing a social safety net. Their neutrality on assistance to the poor is linked, at least in part, to their belief in personal responsibility.
Defining Values Less extreme on moral beliefs than core Republican groups, but most oppose gay marriage and the acceptance of homosexuality, and support a more active role for government in protecting morality. No more conservative than the national average on other social issues such as abortion and stem-cell research. Most oppose the war in Iraq, but views of America’s overall foreign policy are mixed and they are less opposed to Bush’s assertive stance than are other Democratic groups.
I'm guessing that Conservative Democrats are a group without a good fit to a major national political party at this time. Conservative Democrat Zel Miller discussed this at the 2004 Republican convention. Would you say Texas ex-Governor Ann Richards was a Conservative Democrat?
My wife and I, my two kids, one of my best guy friends, and my little sister are all "Enterprisers," which is just a nice way of saying we are capitalists in favor of smaller government, less regulation, lower taxes, and minimal government-run social programs.
