Libertarian Quiz

Libertarian Republican had a link to an interesting quiz called, "What Kind of Libertarian Are You?" Obviously it is for libertarians, but I thought I'd take it anyway.

You Scored as Minarchist

Minarchists are libertarians who advocate a strictly limited government and usually a more decentralized form of it. Minarchists may vary in the degree to which they think that government should be limited, although the bare bones position is essentially nothing more than police, courts and the military. Minarchists tend to think that some minimum level of government is a necessary evil, or at least an inevitability. The contemporary libertarian movement in America is dominantly minarchist, although it has had a long history of dialogue and debate between minarchist and anarchist libertarians.

  1. Why did it score you a minarchist when your top score was paleo-libertarian?

    I took it and scored:

    Minarchist
    92%
    Left-libertarian
    83%
    "Small L" libertarian
    67%
    Geo-libertarian
    42%
    Agorist
    33%
    Paleo-libertarian
    33%
    Neo-libertarian
    17%
    Libertarian socialist
    8%
    Anarcho-capitalist
    8%

    The quiz makers need to define their questions more clearly. There were many ways to interpret them.

    However, I do think left-libertarian would be an appropriate designation for me.

  2. That's a good question. I'm not sure how that quiz scores the results. I have some libertarian views but I'm not a libertarian anyway.

    But I am a sucker for taking political-type quizzes. I always find them interesting.
