Default A Good but Long Test from OKStupid

Quote:
Paleo-Liberal
You scored 77% on social permissiveness and 53% on economic permissiveness.
A Paleo-Liberal believes in a low to moderate amount of social intervention, and a moderate amount of economic intervention. They may embrace certain aspects of economics and capitalism, while supporting moderate to strong civil liberties. They tend to emphasize domestic policy and be against police powers, war, and laws regulating individual social behavior. They generally believe in a "smaller" social safety net or welfare state then other liberals and personal liberty. Modern Paleo-Liberals may be considered to be the remnants of the more anti-authoritiarian "new left" of the 60's and 70's. Paleo-Liberals may sometimes form alliances with Civil Libertarians, Left Libertarians and Centrists. Examples of a Paleo-Liberal would be Mark Warner, Russ Feingold, and Thomas Paine.
This is quite possibly the most accurate description I've found in such a test.
It took a (*)(*)(*)(*) long time though.

Libertarian
You scored 77% on social permissiveness and 62% on economic permissiveness.

A libertarian believes in a low to moderate amount of social and economic intervention. They usually have an emphasis on the constitution, states rights and advocate a generally small government. Libertarians tend to oppose foreign intervention, war, laws against individual social behavior, police powers, and believe in laizze-faire capitalism (to a lesser extent for moderates) and personal liberty (to a lesser extent for moderates). Some Moderate Libertarians differ from more die-hard libertarians in the sense that they may compromise on a few key issues/areas, or use a utilitarian and results-based ethic. They are often considered to be "socially liberal and fiscally conservative" and generally inspired by the Classical Liberal or Enlightenment tradition (circa 17th-18th century America and England). Some more dedicated libertarians are better described under the "minarchist" label. Libertarians may sometimes form alliances with liberals, conservatives and more extreme libertarians. An example of a Libertarian would be Ayn Rand, Howard Stern and Drew Carry.


That was a good test. Certainly compared to other OKCupid test (I'm looking at you Java...).

Radical Libertarian
You scored 87% on social permissiveness and 85% on economic permissiveness.
A Libertarian believes in little to no intervention both socially and economically. Some advocate no government (anarchists), others advocate an extremely decentralized and small government (minarchists) that is limited to very basic fundamental functions. Libertarians strongly oppose foreign intervention, war, laws against individual social behavior, police powers, and believes in laizze-faire capitalism and strong personal liberty. Philosophically, libertarians are usually individualists. Most Libertarians are heavily inspired by and schooled in the ideas of Natural Rights and Natural Law, which comes from the Classical Liberal and Enlightenment tradition of the 17th-18th centuries. Indeed, the most extreme libertarians are the result of the farthest reaches and implications of those ideas. Libertarians may sometimes form alliances with civil libertarians and fiscal conservatives. Examples of a Libertarian would be Murray Rothbard, Ludwig Von Mises, H.L. Mencken, Lysander Spooner, and Friedrich Hayek.

I don't think I'm that extreme, but I am a libertarian.
