The Feminist Perspective Scale

I took the “feminist perspective scale” quiz, just for fun. Here are my results:

Perspective Score
Liberal feminist 47
Women of Color 41
Cultural feminist 32
Socialist feminist 30
Radical feminist 28
Conservative 13

“The Feminist Perspectives Scale differentiates between a generic brand of non-feminism (conservative perspetive) and six types of feminism. Your calculated score are at the right above, although you should only take these scores as a guide. Only you can truly decide what idealogy you follow.”

The FPS was written in 1998, and in some ways it feels dated to me – for instance, in the complete lack of any questions about trans* issues. Also, the anti-gay questions struck me as sort of crude – only the most right-wing of right-wing conservatives is willing to be THAT nakedly anti-gay anymore.

I’m not surprised that I scored very low on radical feminism, or high on liberal feminism and womanism. And it makes sense that I scored kind of low on socialist feminism – although I strongly favor a Swedish Socialist approach to economics, I don’t tend to see Capitalism as the root cause of sexism.

I was surprised to score so high on cultural feminism, since I tend to think of myself as kind of anti-cultural-feminism.

So what did you get?
