How progressive are you? Take the quiz.

http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2009/03/progressive_quiz.html

I got a 341 out of 400.

Then check out this interactive map. Click through the maps to see how progressive or conservative your country, your state, and your county are.

3. 373 of out 400 "extremely progressive". One of the questions didn't have a left enough answer in my
 opinion.

I'm actually a 500 out of 400.

6. I don't like the question
 about the primary responsibility of corporations being to make money rather than improve society. That's true, but believing that doesn't make me a conservative. It makes me a liberal realist who knows that for-profit corporations need to be closely watched, regulated, or abolished.

21. I didn't get that one either..
 how could a corporations primary goal be anything but the health and wealth of the corporation? I guess I could wish that their goal would be to society, but then they wouldn't be a corporation, would they?

Your Ideological score is:

Got a 64/400.

Then I took the test only answering the questions the way one would if you hated all things American and despised freedom and liberty.  I got a 390/400.
