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.

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 exception to the latter would be black protestant church goers.[Citation Needed]

American journalists as a group have a liberal quotient of around 0.8. Television news anchors on the major networks had a liberal quotient of 1 until the Fox News Channel emerged.[Citation Needed]
