'''Liberal quotient''' is a new term coined by [[Conservapedia]] to quantify how [[liberal]] a group is. It is used by the Conservapedia administrators in assessing political bias and in evaluating statements or positions by such a group.

The liberal quotient is defined simply as the ratio of liberals to conservatives in a group. Thus the liberal quotient is zero when there are no liberals in the group. The same number of conservatives and liberals will always result in the same liberal quotient, regardless of the size of other groups, such as moderates. While it is commonly used in Conservapedia to assess bias, researches prefer other measures. [http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=947640#PaperDownload]
