Take the Libertarian Purity Test
Wednesday, January 10, 2007
Link: Libertarian Purity Test.
I scored 79, which apparently translates to:
You are a medium-core libertarian, probably self-consciously so. Your friends probably encourage you to quit talking about your views so much.Damn. I was sure I would be hard core. He's right about my friends though.
Hat tip to Bag's Rants
Sadly, or maybe not, I don't really know I didn't score as high as I thought. I class myself as being libertarian but clearly I like to have a bit of structure around society rather than anarchy. I think most people are like that. That's why we think we are libertarian but score so low on these tests. Compared to certain anarchists anyway.

36. 'Your libertarian credentials are obvious. Doubtlessly you will become more extreme as time goes on.'
I was expecting a higher score. There is always room for improvement, I suppose.

35 for me. What an interesting quiz. Certainly challenges the liberal thinking that sets the framework for so much political debate.

I scored 122. I am certainly more hard core than five years ago (when I thought I was a Centrist until I got my head around the Left/right wing model having an X and Y axis).
I've past the stage of my friends looking at me strangely as I only really put forward my opinion when asked rather than being an Evangelical zealot).
I'm also aware that I'm not going to change the world as individualists are intrinsically of the herding cats variety.
