Well, I disagree with neolibertarians on nearly everything, but the neolibertarian who created this quiz certainly had some profound insights into political science. This site recognizes that there are two different kinds of social libertarianism, which, while to some extent interdependent, don't belong on the same axis. The radical/conservative quiz measures the degree of equality or inequality one supports. The terms democrat and republican, when describing ideologies on this axis, have nothing to do with the American political parties. The liberal/populist quiz measures individualistic vs. community based social standards, respectively. The capitalist/socialist quiz is, of course, a measurement of economic attitudes. The scoring gives up to three labels, although it omits a label if one fits in the moderate category on one of the axes. This is the link followed by my results:
http://www.neo-libertarian.com/polquiz.html Radical-Conservative Quiz: 29 Liberal-Populist Quiz: 9 Capitalist-Socialist Quiz: -2 (Moderate) liberal-leaning republican Republican - This includes a large bulk of modern-day American politicians, whether Republican or Democratic. This includes values of basic racial equality but not necessarily affirmative action. It's a strong rejection of racism and a strong embrace of democracy, but not into the social levelling or hyper-secularism of the democrat level. Liberal-Leaning - Those moving in the direction of individual autonomy, critical of government, opposed to sin taxes and moral codes fall in this area. A majority of Americans fall here or in the moderate section.

liberal-leaning radical-leaning anarcho-capitalist
Radical-Leaning - Those American politicians not in the republican category are probably in this section. It is moving in the same direction as the republican group, embraces democracy and rejects racism, but perhaps these people strongly support the death penalty or stand opposed to gay marriage. In American terms, these are more conservative people, but on this scale - which includes a wider range of global and historical politics - they are clustered under radical-leaning. Liberal-Leaning - Those moving in the direction of individual autonomy, critical of government, opposed to sin taxes and moral codes fall in this area. A majority of Americans fall here or in the moderate section. Anarcho-Capitalist - Those who believe that all voluntary and non-fraudulent market transactions are acceptable or good are anarcho-capitalists for these purposes, even if they do not reject the state. They for the most part want to repeal anti-trust laws, legalize virtually all markets and products and let the market set wages and prices - they are also against involuntary taxes and for unilateral free trade. Virtually no one outside real world libertarian and anarchist circles ascribes to this belief in practice. They associate economic success with the ability to easily create business and a near total lack of taxes and regulations.

republican liberal-leaning planner
Republican - This includes a large bulk of modern-day American politicians, whether Republican or Democratic. This includes values of basic racial equality but not necessarily affirmative action. It's a strong rejection of racism and a strong embrace of democracy, but not into the social levelling or hyper-secularism of the democrat level. Liberal-Leaning - Those moving in the direction of individual autonomy, critical of government, opposed to sin taxes and moral codes fall in this area. A majority of Americans fall here or in the moderate section. Planner - Few Democrats fit here, but FDR is probably the most aggressive move in this direction, followed by LBJ. They believe that the market is useful for many areas, but overall it is too chaotic, irrational or unfair, and it takes the keen eye of the state or bureaucracy to correct market imperfections. They support nationalization of industries, guaranteed employment for all, massive welfare entitlements, and massive public works. They associate economic success with high employment, high production, and massive government involvement; the super-rich are usually allowed to still exist normally, but less so in business or managerial capacities. Ultimately, the market is either short-sighted or unfair, and some outside force must step in to correct it. i think the republican part is the only one that doesnt fit...o well...interesting test

The term republican, in this case, refers to a moderately egalitarian outlook and has nothing to do with the American political party.
