My results: I side 79% with Ron Paul

[augustusIV]

I side with Ron Paul and Gary Johnson at 79%. In reality I definitely side with Ron Paul more. I wish they would include a question about the
federal reserve (Johnson is not as anti-fed as Paul).

Test is BS

Should the U.S. intervene in the affairs of other countries?

Ron Paul: No

You: Yes, but only in matters of self defense

They said that I didn't agree with Ron on foreign policy. That's Ron Paul's policy...what's up with that? If we were attacked he would react in self defense right?

[nf7mate]

Absolutely. Ron Paul espouses the Just War Theory, which supports war as an act of self-defense.

[augustusIV]

I thought "intervene" meant pre-empt i.e. Bush and Iraq.

Unfortunately, this is one of the big public misconceptions of Ron Paul. :( He doesn't believe in taking aggressive interventionist action (aka "throwing the first punch") but he has absolutely no qualms about fighting in self defense.

He will do whatever it takes to protect our borders but will not make the U.S. an occupying power.

Ron Paul doesn't believe in state sanctioned war of any kind, and the idea that we would ever need to fight one for self defense is absolutely preposterous.

[soulcyon]

Lol they have alot of the Ron Paul answers wrong. I honestly think I should be 90+%, but I got 75% on the test.

Ron Paul: "No, we should instead enact legislation that would prevent banks from becoming too big to fail"

that is completely untrue, because in a natural business cycle, those banks will never become that big (imo). How would any legislation prevent bank failure if the bank owners just act stupid?

[opinionatedfool]

Would have been a nice test if the questions were better.

What's the Paul campaign's official position on this? He sends subsidies back to his district every year: http://farm.ewg.org/regionsummary.php?fips=TX14

I think by "self-defense," they're talking about policies like a preemptive bombing of Iran "to stop them from getting a nuclear weapon." After all, the very word "intervene" implies that you're meddling in something that did not naturally involve you at first; you wouldn't say that you "intervened in your neighbor's affairs" if you knocked him out after he crossed into your yard and started attacking your family. On the other hand, if you decided you felt threatened by your neighbor because of his gun collection, went over and smashed it, you would be "intervening" and would probably chalk it up (wrongly) to "self-defense." This is what I believe is meant, though it is definitely confusing and I recognize the validity of your objection.

They went to his district, but did he vote for the bill that actually appropriated the money?

I scored 84% Ron Paul, along with 82% R. Lee Wrights (?) and 80% Gary Johnson. The test is an interesting idea, but their execution is certainly flawed.

I got a weird numbers, although I do like Governor Johnson

GJ 89% (whom I do like)
RP 65%
Mitt 64%
Newt 50%

I guess I'm a what then, an establishment libertarian? A libertarian leaning republican? A pragmatic libertarian? a LINO?

Although

Should we expand our offshore oil drilling?

Ron Paul: No, end all offshore oil drilling

You: Yes

wait what? Paul wants to end off shore drilling. that doesn't sound very Paul like.

Also I think Paul and I would both agree that there are millions of Americans who rely on Social Security and Medicare and that we will have to reform it before abolishing it. It's going to be a long term process.

Or a non interventionist, deficit hawk, moderate Republican?

I like most libertarians believe that marriage should be contracted privately, not with any state involvement.

I'm conflicted on abortions, preferably there should be none, but I understand that mistakes are made and "accidents" happen.

I do not believe that conception must be the cut off point for child birth prevention, rather the development of mental capacities (which happen around the 10th week IIRC) I also believe that the state should not stop the mother from making a life saving decision. Abortions after the 10 week can only be when the mother's life is in danger, no rape or incest exceptions. If you didn't take advantage of the opportunity, during the first 10 weeks, it's your problem

I was for Afghanistan (although it's time to GTFO)
against Iraq, and against Iran.

Maybe I'm naive but I don't see the Federal Reserve as being part of an evil plot I don't think it is Ben Bernanke's job to redistribute wealth from the poor to the rich. Nor do I think he sees it that way. That being said, when the fed "stimulates" the economy and the banks who benefit from this then invest in stocks, he is redistributing from the poor to the rich.

My biggest issue is the national debt. It's a long term bipartisan problem going back decades. I don't need to abolish the welfare state, many poor and disabled people rely on it. But it needs to cut back (along with everything in government). I would love a politician to stand up and say, "everyone who relies on government spending is going to have to give a little bit back." Entitlement reforms, discretionary cuts, pay freezes or pay reductions from all federal workers, President on down. Defense cuts, ending most if not all tax breaks, all of it. A balanced budget amendment would be nice too.
