Your Libertarian Purity Score

Your score is…

159

What Your Score Means

0 points: You are not a libertarian by any stretch of the imagination. You are probably not even a liberal or a conservative. Just some Nazi nut, I guess.

1-5 points: You have a few libertarian notions, but overall you’re a statist.

6-15 points: You are starting to have libertarian leanings. Explore them.

16-30 points: You are a soft-core libertarian. With effort, you may harden and become pure.

31-50 points: Your libertarian credentials are obvious. Doubtlessly you will become more extreme as time goes on.

51-90 points: You are a medium-core libertarian, probably self-consciously so. Your friends probably encourage you to quit talking about your views so much.

91-130 points: You have entered the heady realm of hard-core libertarianism. Now doesn’t that make you feel worse that you didn’t get a perfect score?

131-159 points: You are nearly a perfect libertarian, with a tiny number of blind spots. Think about them, then take the test over again. On the other hand, if you scored this high, you probably have a good libertarian objection to my suggested libertarian answer. :-)

160 points: Perfect! The world needs more like you.

    I only scored 30. This test really got me to thinking about a lot of the things that government does do. I’m thinking that the government wouldn’t be such a rotten thing if we could just get around to cleaning up a lot of crap. There is much good that can still be accomplished with good people in power and determined to do the good things.

    It’s funny. Whenever I see Libertarian views, I either find myself completely agreeing or completely disagreeing; there’s hardly any middle ground. :lol:

    [50] points: Your libertarian credentials are obvious. Doubtlessly you will become more extreme as time goes on.

    To Kevin Fields:

    1. If there is alot of crap to be cleaned, ask yourself why there is crap, and why no one has cleaned it up, and whether there has always been crap to clean up. An honest inquiry into history and yourself will probably reveal to you that there has always been “alot of crap” relating to government and the leaders that compose it.

    2. IF there has always been crap in government, making it a “rotten thing”…then “electing better people” to remove the “crap” can’t possibly be your realistic solution. Isn’t that what those running for office always claim, and the people vote intending? Something has to change for this next group of politicians to be different from the last 10,000 years of human history.

    I answered no to only 1 question. I placed considerably lower almost a year ago, and would have been even lower 2 years ago. I consider myself a voluntaryist anarchist but differ somewhat. I think a society much like that in the Biblical book of Judges would be my view of ideal. A private court system and heroes who lead volunteers into war when they felt it necessary.
