The Politics Quiz
based on VoteMatch
86 version by Daniel Bishop

To run the program, enter POLITICS at the home screen.

There are 16 statements.  For each one, you have 5 choices:

F1 (YES!) -- strongly agree
F2 (Yes)  -- agree
F3 (?)    -- don't know/no opinion
F4 (No)   -- disagree
F5 (NO!)  -- strongly disagree

At the end, your calc will display your position on the political grid, represented by a black square.

The X axis represents the traditional political spectrum.  If X = -1, you are a hard core liberal, and if X = +1, you are a hard-core conservative.

The Y axis represents your degree of libertarianism/authoritarianism.  If Y = -1, you are a hard-core authoritarian, and if Y = +1, you are a hard core libertarian.

If your square is close to the orgin, you are a moderate.
