My results mostly point towards a Liberal stance,. My definition of being liberal is being open minded to change, open minded to new ideas, and are more tolerant of thoughts and actions of others; they arent very bound to the traditions. My definition on conservative is they like to keep it traditional and not a big fan about changes, typically into politics or religion. Based on the defintions, I definitely agree Im more Liberal. Im more of a into change person, and Im not really bound to religion and basing my decision. I like to bring in new ideas and and stay open minded towards other ideas and ations as well,
