<p>politicalcompass.org is an awful web site.<br>
there are two things one should judge oneself on when determining their level of conservatism/liberalism - fiscal and social. i for one and very far right fiscally (economics, money, taxes, big gov, etc) while on the other hand i am a moderate social conservative (pro gay marriage, anti partial birth abortion, basically in the middle).</p>
<p>i have not visited uc, but get the feeling that many students, because econ is so popular there, are fiscally conservative. But at the same time many kids (as the generation progresses into more accepted new values) is socially liberal. </p>
<p>Just my two cents</p>
