I was cleaning out my Facebook apps today (procrastination) and re-took the World's Smallest Political Quiz.
Last time I took it, I got Liberal Statist. That was, oh, six months ago. Today, I got Liberal Libertarian.
Q: Is the result of a very basic political quiz to be trusted? Do your opinions on issues determine where you stand politically, or do the reasons behind your opinions determine it? Or something else?
Q: Do you change your mind about some political or ideological issues on a regular basis? According to your mood? Your surroundings? The latest news article you've read? What do you think of people who do?
(ETA: I don't consider myself Libertarian because I disagree with the basic "there is only the individual" idea that Libertarianism usually seems to be based on--humans aren't totally rational actors, society determines our perspectives to a huge extent, and it's just stupid to pretend otherwise.)
