What's your score?
I got a 30. Basically, I'm Jack Kemp it says.
No, I don't put a lot of stock in it. It's dumb because it doesn't distinguish between classical, fiscal conservatism and social conservatism. There's a better quiz out there that does - and I've even posted my results on it somewhere on this blog in 2004 or so - but I'm too lazy to find it now.

31 here. Slightly more than you I guess. Strange, considering I used to be an arrogant, left-wing reporter fresh out of journo-school at Miami

This is the second time I've taken this in the past year. First time I remember taking it I scored a 29 and this time I just scored a 26. I've seen other tests online and I always seem to score more liberal than I think I am. Well, I still usually vote straight R so I'm not worried yet. lol
Number 2 is an odd question. Had they asked about necessity instead of trust I would I have scored higher. Trust needs context. If someone were trying to sell me a car, I would trust an ex-Peace Corps person over an ex-CIA agent. Yes, I know the CIA and Peace Corps have nothing to do with selling cars but, as an American, I would hope I never have to deal with either as their intended audience is foreigners. But, now that I think about it, I probably trust the Peace Corps to do their job better than the CIA does theirs.
