I am a center-left social moderate.
Left: 1.64 -- Authoritarian: 0.76
I wasn't really that surprised by my results, because I have always considered myself a democrat, and I also believe that there should be a fairly equal balance between the government and a person's own rights and I think my quiz results reflect that well. Some of the topics and questions that stood out to me on the quiz were ones dealing with things like abortion. I am completely against abortion, and I strongly believe that it should be illegal in all cases. The reason I think this is because my belief is that life starts at conception, not at birth, so abortion is ultimately killing an innocent and defenseless human being. Another issue that stood out to me was gay marriage. I personally support gay rights along with gay marriage. If two people love each other, no matter what their genders, they should have every right to get married; and the government has no place tell them they can't. And after all just because the government may ban the marriage, they can't ban the relationship between the two people, so what does it accomplish banning them from being "officially" married, even though they practically already are. I also don't agree with churches being against gays. Many religions are always taught that you should love one another, and that God loves all people no matter what, so why do so many discriminate against gays? But I am glad that many states are now legalizing gay marriage, as I think it shows that our country is making progress towards more equality, no matter what your race, sexual orientation, religion, etc.
