Yes, I am bored and I see some politically and philosophically related tests on the forums already so I decided to add some more. This test is a test on one's economic thoughts.

Austrian American
0 Keynesian, 23 Chicago, 84 Austrian
You are an Austrian American. I call you this because you obviously scored highly in the "Austrian School", but you still lean somewhat toward the "Chicago School" approach as to how a free market society works best. Perhaps you like F. A. Hayek. Perhaps you are combining libertarian intuition with a college economic backgrounds. In any event, this is definitely a solid free market stance; however, you might want to look more into these schools of thought, and find out about your inner conflict

I like the idea of a natural rate of unemployment somewhat.

Your Score: Free Keynesian
61 Keynesian, 38 Chicago, 7 Austrian
You are a Keynesian Economics student, but you also have a regard for fiscal conservatism. You should work to restore your faith in the free market, and come to understand the abstract economic laws that make the market interventionism you've acquired a taste for unnecessary.

Is that a hint of free market fundamentalist bias I detect?
Anyway, it describes my economic views fairly well, I'm a Keynesian economic interventionist with some monetarist sympathies. I like a regulated market economy with government control or partial control of vital industries like oil and centralized electrical generation (large coal and nuclear plants, etc), less vital and non-vital industries are regulated to promote competition (and thus innovation), prevent monopolies, and protect the interests of labor.

Yes, there is a bit of that here. I think that the author ends up being somewhat Austrian.

Right and you and I will probably disagree on many economic issues given how strongly different our scores are. It wouldn't surprise me if this was deeply philosophically rooted given how different our methodologies are.
