Esquire/NBC Politial Quiz

Pollsters have long mentioned the stratification of "main street" politics.  This is a short (hopefully) quiz to see what shiny new or old box your political views fit in on their spectrum..

NBC I can see, but Esquire?  Oh well let's take it shall we.  My super shocking results below the link (which hopefully works and is close enough).  Like most of these type of quizzes, it is a little simplistic and some of the classifications seem a little arbitrary.  This probably is more gauged towards the US than foreign countries.

There were a bunch of questions, I forgot to keep track (more than 10 and additional questions at a point).  This poll divides the populace into several groups (from left to right):
* The Bleeding Hearts
* The Gospel Left
* Minivan Moderates
* The MBA Middle
* The Pickup Populists
* The #Whateverman
* The Righteous Right
* The Talk Radio Heads

My ranking: Talk Radio Heads (whatever that means), maybe that i'm among the more conservative "people" in the US.  i'm not a centrist - i'm shocked, really shocked (not really).  So, I guess i'm right up there with Rand Paul and Ted Cruz. 

I always thought that I was a fiscal conservative that sort of fell somewhere between conservative and Libertarian on the scale. The last time I took the politicalcompass.org test, I fell right about where Milton Friedman is on the scale.
