Libertarian Purity Test

[Lucidvizion]

I scored about where I thought I would, especially after seeing the loony-toon 5 point answers.

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.

The exam is set up to be strongly, I repeat strongly biased against libertarianism. Look at the statistical analysis section.

It's a dead giveaway.

This guy's (not you) not that smart. That's for sure. But in any event I conclude and declare the test metric invalid.

So does this mean I am or am not a Libertarian then?

[Gibby]

45 go figure.

117. I wonder what me and Pete answered differently...

Brainy smurf: Big ***** surprise there. One wonders which questions you actually answered "yes" to.

nehemiah: :rofl: I was thinking the same thing! I'm surprised you scored that high, honestly.


Pete: Caplan's a pretty smart dude, give him some credit and read the analysis section.

LOL! This test proves that hardcore libertarians are idiots and ass holes.

I have no idea how some of you can live with yourselves.

Why the hatred towards the libertarians on the board? Personally it takes a little longer than the few weeks that I have been on the board for people to start hating me for my leanings.

[kybillsfan]

you'll be talking to Pete and anEin much more!! I am suprised you scored as low as you did. You lean much more libertarian than most people IMO.

Strawman after strawman.

Where did I ever say I hated you and all libertarians as a whole?

I guess death "promises" you made have nothing to do with hatred for libertarians? My god you dont even understand the stuff you write yourself.

[shiva2999]

I guess death "promises" you made have nothing to do with hatred for libertarians?

Do you understand the concept of "tongue in cheek"?

Of "ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer"?

I should have answered all of the questions.

My wife answered half of them for me.

She knows me better than I do.

That happens after 35 years.

Does she put up with the playing stupid routine? I doubt it.
