Third Way Liberal You scored 76% Personal Liberty and 31% Economic Liberty!

A third way liberal believes in little to moderate government intervention on personal matters and moderate to high government intervention on economic matters. They tend to be opposed to war, police powers, victimless crimes, and what they may consider to be a corporate state or rogue capitalism. They generally support personal liberty and believes in a social safety net or welfare state. They support self-ownership and privacy. Third way liberals are essentially the "mainstream" left and left of center.

I'm not particularly surprised by my results. Frankly, I'm a little pleased. Although I wouldn't have been surprised to be farther to the left, either.

I have to admit, though, that this test has a lot of forced answers. Didn't like that so much. Also, even though I'm a flaming liberal and proud of it, I have to also admit that I think this test is written to be pretty biased towards the left.

Anyway, that's my personal position behind it all.

There were a lot of questions I thought needed a middle option, neither agree nor disagree. Either that, or a short answer section, even though I know that's not possible. I kept wanting to argue with all the questions!

I also was a Third Way Liberal, 65% Personal and 28% Economic liberties. I'm not sure that's really all that accurate.

I can see the libertarian bias more clearly than conservative or liberal.

That's a good point about the libertarian bias. I guess I was using the word "liberal" loosely, meaning it was left-leaning, but I was lumping libertarian in with that, which I shouldn't. I agree that it was definitely libertarian biased.
