Liberal quotient is a new term coined by Conservapedia to quantify how liberal a group is. It is useful 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.
Mathematically Expressed When X is the number of liberals and Y is the number of conservatives and Z is the the quotient:
X/Y=Z
Therefore a group with 2 liberals and 2 conservatives has a liberal quotient of 1 (2/2=1).
Likewise, Wikipedia, which has a Liberal Quotient of 6, means that there are 6 liberals on Wikipedia for every conservative.
Groups having a high liberal quotient would include university faculties, the National Education Association, the leadership of the Democratic Party, the management of the Village Voice and New York Times, and the leaders of the ACLU. Groups having a low liberal quotient would include a trade association of small business owners, an association of Christian athletes, and worshipers at church on an ordinary Sunday.
