Pop Quiz
The World's Smallest Political Quiz. Inexplicably, there doesn't seem to be a result on their chart for "Psychotic Imperialist."
Fair disclosure: This quiz is sponsored by the Libertarian Party, and thus tends to bias towards that result in the way the questions are phrased and presented. I could write a quiz that asks the same questions in a different way, and bias it towards any outcome I desired. That's called "poll feeding," and it's exactly the sort of thing Gallup, et al do when an organization approaches them for a statistical sample about any given political hot potato. It's a prime example of why you shouldn't trust poll results any further than you can throw the pollsters.
