Default A Libertarian Political Test

The propositions on this test are, of course, slanted towards libertarianism in their wording, much as some other tests on the Internet are designed to convince web surfers that they are liberals or conservatives. While I am not a libertarian, I am a political test addict, so I find this quiz to be interesting. The final results are on a political map, and it is amusing to see how one compares with various politicians and politically outspoken celebrities. Here is the link to the test, followed by my results:

Centerville-You would feel most at home in Centerville, which means that you are more or less pleased the status quo-you think the US government has just about the right amount of control over your economic and personal decisions. Your neighbors include democratic and republican party leaders and others who call themselves "moderates" and "centrists."
(I landed on the western edge of the Centerville "capital", between George W. Bush and John Kerry, though a bit closer to John Kerry... and I'm reporting for duty...)

West-You are a Westerner-a civil libertarian-which means that you advocate a diminished role for the government in the personal realm. You are more or less pleased the government's role in the economic realm.

Hey! Nobody lives out here with me. I've got people to the north, to the east... Wait. Looking at the neighbors in those other places... maybe I like it here.

About halfway between center and the western edge of the map. And I was in about the direct center of the north-south axis. It is a pretty lonely area.

North-You are a Northerner-a free marketeer-which means that you advocate a diminished role for the government in the economic realm. You are more or less pleased with the government's role in the personal realm.

Landed on Drew Carey, second best person to land on I'm surprsied I'm not right next to Rush thats where I normally land.

NW-You would feel most at home in the Northwest region. You advocate a large degree of economic and personal freedom. Your neighbors include folks like Ayn Rand, Jesse Ventura, Milton Friedman, and Drew Carey, and may refer to themselves as "classical liberals," "libertarians," "market liberals," "old whigs," "objectivists," "propertarians," "agorists," or "anarcho-capitalist."
