Radicalism 88.5
Socialism 62.5
Tenderness 59.375


These scores indicate that you are a progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with an animal rights activist. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a pragmatic attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a political centrist.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a devoted egalitarian with several strong opinions.




How can one be a 'devoted egalitarian' with a 'socialist' attitude to economics and at the same time a 'political centrist'? Possibly this reflects the time of original construction of the test during the 'postwar consensus' in the UK. I am certainly no 'centrist' by any current standards! (Also not an animal rights activist, though I do consider fox-hunting to be barbaric.)
