Take this quiz and find out your political persuasion. Now, I could do a very long post on why these kind of binary quizzes are essentially meaningless, and how, like many polls, they fail to register the uncertainty and fluidity of the average voter.

In any case, I am a New Prosperity Independent. I have no idea what that means but here is the description:

Pro-business, pro-environment and many are pro-choice. Sympathetic toward immigrants, but not as understanding toward black Americans and the poor. Somewhat critical of government. Tolerant on social issues.

For some reason I find that very amusing. Still more:

Affluent and less religious, this group is basically non-partisan with a slight lean toward the Republican Party. New Prosperity Independents are highly satisfied with the things that are going in the country. A majority approves of Bill Clinton, yet tends to be critical of government. One-third consider themselves Internet enthusiasts. Two-thirds favor having third major political party in addition to the Democrats and Republicans.

Why is Bill Clinton considered some kind of litmus test? What does he really represent in this context? Screw this test, if you pay attention you will find out that most of it is simply asking the same question over and over: do you believe in free will or are you a determinist? I strongly believe that if free will does not exist, we must invent it. It is pragmatically expedient for me to believe that free will exists regardless of whether it actually does. And that's the bottom line.
