    Bang in the middle of left libertarian, and yet here in the UK I am right wing. Shows how left our politics is compared to whoever made that questionnaire!

    Extraordinarily loaded questions with no room for gray. Seems to be skewed to try to make a libertarian point.

    Definitely think where they have put contemporary politicians on their chart is wildly skewed.

    Economic Left/Right: 0.12
    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.41

    Technically Libertarian means socially more left and economically more right (just shrink the size of the government, period, not just being more open about things.), so I don't know what the creators of the test were thinking there. That said, it was a pretty good test, I could argue with some of the wording on some of the questions because it was quite obviously written by someone from a specific political standpoint (and will lead people without a strong viewpoint in that direction), but it gave me the result that I identify as.

    I'm from the US too and because of ^^ this I believe the test is trash because to me that was at least 1/2 the questions that were leading and giving half informations that would make anyone picking the obveously 'wrong' choice to be a heartless close minded idiot.

    I don't need a quiz, I'm a liberatarian.

    I agree wholeheartedly! Libertarian here.

    Not a Libertarian, but I agree with your assessment of the survey. Very leading.

    I have done many of these, and I am more Libertarian than anything.

    Personally, I like the isidewith.com test better.

    I am 100% libertarian and have been since I was in high school. I can not imagine myself ever initiating force against another person.
    "Golden rule"
    "to each his own"
    "live and let live"

    EDIT: Oh, and I'm in the United States, where libertarians are spurned and made fun of. I'm used to it.

    I didn't take the quiz either. I already know.

    Having said that, being a libertarian *actually* means that you do not believe in initiating force against others, that you advocate individual liberty.

    Google "non-aggression principle" =D

    yeah... it confuses me when the compass essentially lumps libertarians and authoritarians as almost the same... um, no they are like oil and water... not even close.

    Personally, myself.... I'm not quite to the point of "open borders" type of libertarian... but I don't believe the government should be restricting people from doing things they want to do (aside from murder and stealing) as long as it doesn't negatively affect someone elses right to live how they want to.
