I'll have to take it when I have a little more time, but thanks for posting this! Should definately be interesting.

Take the survey and see what the results are.

According to this I'm 100% libertarian. I think that's fairly accurate since I support as little government involvement as possible.

Ditto for me too. But, I have to say that I hated how this test was worded.

I consider myself more of a libertarian-conservative, or a constitutionalist.

The first question stumped me.
It lumped property with speech and press.
I don't, against the popular opinion here, think property should be protected, at least some kinds.
I therefore couldn't answer any of the choices.

P.S. Since the banner at the begining is a 9/11 then the site may be biased.

Ok - this should convince most of the folks here that the test was poorly worded....


I came out Libertarian too :)

It's a terrific short, quick test; you can't cover the world's subtleties in 10 questions.

I score 100%, right at the peak. :)

Very leading, kinda FUFRANK-esque.

I scored 100% libertarian.

I really don't know what to refer to myself as. A voluntarist, i guess.

It says "in memoriam." I don't see anything wrong with that.

It doesn't say, "Come join Glenn Beck's 9/12 project." There would be something wrong with that.

Your answers suggest that you are a libertarian. The yellow star shows more precisely where you fall within the libertarian region of the Nolan chart.

Right at the top.

I'm resting snuggly in the uppermost crest of the chart, the radical corner I refer to as the "liberty nook"!

Obviously just about everybody on here will land in the libertarian section, most on in the extreme portion of the block. I certainly did. Did you notice how much larger the libertarian responses were than the liberal and neo-con responses even though their solutions are usually more complex?

thanks for posting... now the quiz has lost credit with me because I know that some of the people that scored libertarian are statists. :(

Yeah, and a bunch had a quote by a founding father. The wording was stilted a bit.

That is a good quiz. I got a 93. I didn't understand some of the questions, and I actually ended up skipping one of them.

Glenn Beck should take that quiz. Lol, I'm really interested in what his score would be.

I am a liberal-libertarian but I am not far off from the center.

The questions are ridiculous, though. What do they have to do with politics?


There is now a worrying fusion of information and entertainment.

Especially this one:


Our race has many superior qualities, compared with other races.

"Ooh, he chose strongly disagree. He must be a liberal Democrat."

The triangular chart that Conza has posted in the past is a much better illustration of the ideologies. It captures the important insight that stateless socialists fall completely off the chart, because they demand a societal order with elements that can only be accomplished by the state (i.e. enforcement of "non-exploitative" exchange), but in its absence. The rest of the ideologies are simply in order of magnitude of interventionism.

I consider myself a marxist anarcho-capitalist with serious conservative leanings and a libertarian undertone.

A marxist capitalist?

Oh, maybe you want the ownership of the means of production in the hands of the government, but you want the opposite of laissez-faire, so the people don't intervene at all and don't buy anything.

Hmm.
