Found this test, but it had too much American bias. In case the image doesn’t come through, it says something about “What’s your liberal identity?”
My Liberal Identity:
You are a Peace Patroller, also known as an anti-war liberal or neo-hippie. You believe in putting an end to American imperial conquest, stopping wars that have already been lost, and supporting our troops by bringing them home.

It would be interesting to see one with a more international flavour. I suspect most non-US citizens would score much the same on that one, based on a “Keep the US imperialists away from us” feeling.
But the test itself betrays US imperialism and chauvinism by assuming that the USA is the centre (center) of the universe.

That’s a great point about the bias of the test. I completely missed it (due to my own US-centered lens, no doubt), but you’re absolutely right. I’m glad you pointed it out.

I got anti-war hippie too.
And what do you mean- of course the US is the centre of the universe! God loves us Americans more, duh. Otherwise he wouldn’t have given us such a nifty continent, free for the taking…

As an educated and (hopefully) thoughtful American, I was completely ignorant of America’s imperialism until just about a year ago. It’s not something they teach us about in schools. How was I to know that we have troops stationed in 135 countries?(!) When we consider that there are only 194 countries in the world, 135 seems awfully imperialistic. The American public is seriously uninformed.

Well, as a non-American, I scored as an Eco-Avenger!
