Huh. It thinks I’m a libertarian.

One question about legalizing drugs would have fixed that.

I was classified as libertarian as well. The problem is there were several questions where the correct response was contained in 2 choices. (ie Health care: over regulation or lawsuits should have been in the same answer.) It let to an “Eeny Meeny Miney Mo” pick.

The Nolan Chart has always been a Libertarian device, and it works because most folks do value their freedom. So when they take the various quizzes they most often land well into one of the upper quarters.

I'm guessing from your comment you were in the top right quarter? Me too. And it's fine to disapprove, be offended by or sometimes even judgmental about what other folks do, and societal pressure is useful in pushing back against things like drug abuse, which are almost universally thought to be not good. But whatever the ill, imperfection is the rule and there will always be remainders.

How is that War on Drugs thing going?

So you're looking for a question you could get wrong? :)

It is a stupid test, they should have included some of these.

Libertarian Party Platform:

Throw open the borders completely; only a rare individual (terrorist, disease carrier etc.) can be kept from freedom of movement through “political borders”.

Homosexuals; total freedom in the military, gay marriage, adoption, child custody and everything else.

Abortion; zero restrictions or impediments.

Pornography; no restraint, no restrictions.

Drugs; Meth, Heroin, Crack, anything new that science can come up with, zero restrictions.

Advertising drugs, prostitution, pornography; zero restrictions.

Military Strength; minimal capabilities.
