I love how it was set up like a baseball diamond to make that figure of speech work!

Personal: 100%
Economic: 80%

Nice score, Jonedangrousli! I figured I'd end up at the extreme libertarian end of the spectrum, but I guess I'm getting soft in my old age!

Solidly Libertarian here as well.

It's funny how people associate "Libertarian" with "Liberal" though really Libertarians are far more constitutionally originalist than either of the current major parties.

As i knew already a liberatrian

I'm almost as far left as you can go.. Personal 90, Economic 20. Surprise surprise

LIBERTARIANS support maximum liberty in both personal and economic matters. They advocate a much smaller government; one that is limited to protecting individuals from coercion and violence.

Libertarians tend to embrace individual responsibility, oppose government bureaucracy and taxes, promote private charity, tolerate diverse lifestyles, support the free market, and defend civil liberties.

I have to say this pegged me pretty well with only a handful of questions. A lot of us who typically vote Right/Conservative would probably be better served by going Libertarian if we could convince ourselves that we weren't throwing a vote away and putting leftists into office by doing so.

Libertarian here (but I've known that for decades). I tend to be a little to the right in some areas, however. And on 9-11 I became much less isolationist.

All this means that i don't fit where I live. (On the Left Coast in northern Calif behind the Redwood Curtain.)

I'm the exact opposite of you GW! Surprise, surprise.

It's interesting that USAnians tend to use a sightly different language about all this than we Canucks.
Where you guys say "Liberal', we're a little more inclined to say Socialist. Is that calling a spade a spade? It might be because ...
Where you say Centrist, we tend to think 'Liberal". I think that's just because the Liberal Party is a centrist party here, and maybe also because Canada is a little on the left so to most it feels like the middle of the road.
Conservative there is till Conservative here, but ...
Statists are usually called Neo-Conservatives by most here except themselves. They like to call themselves Conservatives too.
I think your Libertarians would be called Anarchists here. Is that calling a spade a spade?

Hey X, as far as Liberals in the USA, only they call themselves Liberals. most call them socialists and some even go so far as to call them Communists!
As far as Libertarians go I think Anarchists is apropos Although I wouldn't necessarily consider that such a bad thing!

70% in the Personal, 100% in Economic. Libertarian with a lean to the right. No surprise.
