Scoring Guide
So now you’ve answered all the questions, it’s time to find out if you are more conservative than you think!
Mostly A’s: Progressive at Heart
Your answers suggest that you lean towards progressive or liberal ideologies. You likely prioritize social equality and environmental sustainability and believe in the significant role of government in providing services and ensuring welfare.
You may view societal challenges through a lens that focuses on collective action and governmental responsibility. Your beliefs align with the idea that a fair society is one where the state actively redistributes resources and ensures that all basic needs are met.
Mostly B’s: The Centrist Balancer
Your responses indicate a centrist approach, blending elements from both sides of the political spectrum. You appreciate the complexities of social and economic issues and tend to seek a middle ground, recognizing the value in both individual responsibility and the need for a safety net.
You might believe that private enterprise and government programs can coexist beneficially and that policy solutions should be pragmatic rather than ideologically driven. This nuanced stance suggests you value dialogue and compromise and are wary of extreme positions.
Mostly C’s: Closet Conservative?
Indeed! – The results hint that you might be harbouring conservative views, perhaps more than you initially thought or admitted. You seem to value tradition, personal responsibility, and a limited role of government in economic affairs.
Your beliefs likely lean towards the importance of a free market economy, the need for strong national defence, and a preference for policies that encourage individual initiative over state dependency.
This doesn’t mean you’re not compassionate or concerned about social issues; rather, you might believe that solutions come from empowering individuals and communities rather than extensive governmental intervention.
