Am I a Libertarian?

According to this I'm pretty far into Libertarian territory.


Of course it was only about 10 questions from a libertarian web site. Still, all things considered their demographics of people taking the test were pretty balanced.

If you are a regular aaron.blog reader, take the quiz and let me know where you score. I'd like a survey of where my friends, family, readers, and detractors/lurkers stand.

My first pass placed me as a Centrist--basically right above the middle.

I then played around with the quiz to see how it works.

If you disagree with all of the personal issues, and agree with all of the economic issues, then you are a conservative.

Reverse these, and you are a liberal.

Go right up the middle (those indecisive folks unwilling to take a hard stand on anything), and you're a Centrist.

Agree to everything and you're a Libertarian. So, Libertarians must agree with the Left on personal issues, and agree with the Right on economic issues?

Disagree to everything, and you're a Statist.

For the heck of it I asked my husband to take it, so here's proof I married a *gasp* conservative - lol

I thought my wife would be a big liberal but she scored almost identical to me.

That is right Jason, I tend to support civil freedoms but shy away from state run social welfare or organized labor. I support free trade, but we must also be careful about changing too quickly. It is too easy for big productive powers (China) to distort our markets by dumping or flooding them.
