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]

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. An exeption to the latter would be black protestant church goers.
