Libertarian Purity Test
http://www.bcaplan.com/cgi/purity.cgi
You have to be a real anarchist to score 100. The LP is not that libertarian. I scored a 76, so I'm considered medium-core.

My score: 38
31-50 points: Your libertarian credentials are obvious. Doubtlessly you will become more extreme as time goes on.
Some of the questions I couldn't answer properly. Being British, I don't know much about things like Medicare and the Federal Reserve

I'm quite familiar with this test. My score is 19.

Your score is... 65.
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. For the rest of the listing What Your Score Means 0 points: You are not a libertarian by any stretch of the imagination. You are probably not even a liberal or a conservative. Just some Nazi nut, I guess. 1-5 points: You have a few libertarian notions, but overall you're a statist. 6-15 points: You are starting to have libertarian leanings. Explore them. 16-30 points: You are a soft-core libertarian. With effort, you may harden and become pure. 31-50 points: Your libertarian credentials are obvious. Doubtlessly you will become more extreme as time goes on. 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. 91-130 points: You have entered the heady realm of hard-core libertarianism. Now doesn't that make you feel worse that you didn't get a perfect score? 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.  160 points: Perfect! The world needs more like you.

The test is clearly biased against liberals. The vast majority of the questions deal with fiscal issues.

25, interesting.

It's certainly an Ayn Rand test, not a LP test. And you'd have to be a little psycho to get a real high score.
As much as I hate the State and want all war to end, I wouldn't dream of saying that we should just abolish the State and disband the military... not now anyway.

Actually, those were ideas of Murray Rothbard. Even Ayn Rand wasn't that extreme.

91-130 points: You have entered the heady realm of hard-core libertarianism. Now doesn't that make you feel worse that you didn't get a perfect score?
