Libertarian Purity Test

[spidey07]

Pretty fun. Scored 88. There are a lot of questions that test if you really want to follow Libertarianism to it's full extent.

Only takes a few minutes.

"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. "

I scored 134.

"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."

I was surprised how high it was, but I have been into punk rock since middle school, so I guess it makes sense.

WOW!
This has never ever once been posted before. Never. I am totally surprised to see this even exists.

Also, over 9000.

Well what the hell, I took the test and scored a 19.

16-30 points: You are a soft-core libertarian. With effort, you may harden and become pure. ( Which assumes that anyone would even want to be more pure or that purity is even a desirable trait in that example. )

I probably would have scored lower if there were there some more choices on the test scaling. But oh well, I am still working on passing the Limbaugh pre-introductory course on remedial conservative studies for dummies.

 

[Cutterhead]

[waggy]

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

 

[MotF Bane]

55. That last section was crazy.

Right on the money, man some of the last few questions were pretty nuts, Is it morally permissible to exercise "vigilante justice," even against government leaders? So what means if we dont agree with the president its ok to shoot him because we feel like it? cmon thats just nuts.

 

[Hacp]

Half the points were given for anarchist views which isn't libertarian.

 

[irishScott]

29. I'm a softy.

 

[Moonbeam]

I got a zero

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

Undoubtedly. :awe:

 

[JSt0rm]

I thought the libertarian purity check involved weighing a duck.

There are a few questions in there I know you'd agree with.

As time goes on we will all achieve Libertarian perfection. Death or senility, whichever comes first! Some people just don't think things through because their elevators don't go all the way up to the top, and in so doing, can become libertarians without the senility symptoms showing.

Got an 84

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.

Well that was fun. Binary choice, whereby answering "yes" was always quite clearly the libertarian answer anyway. Poor design.

Oh yeah... my biggest beef: That shit was quite clearly anarchy.

 

[drebo]

Half the points were given for anarchist views which isn't libertarian.

Indeed, the entire section that was 5pts/answer was mostly anarchist views.

I scored 81, but didn't answer a single affirmative in the last section.

 

[SoCalAznGuy]

Woot, I got a balance score.

I got an 8

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

Anything over 30 is scary.
