    35. Barely at all. The test seems really skewed, it's not libertarian so much as complete anarchism. I have no problems with the government maintaining roads, fire services, etc.

    Perfect Libertarian seems to be an oxymoron.

    Which is why I answered 'no' to most of the military things. Like it or not, the public defense is better served by a single unified military than several disjoint militias and private security companies.

    I can't be bothered to take it again, but I remember scoring somewhere around 80, while conceding that the test was poorly designed.

    I scored a 103. That result seems about right because I do diverge a little bit when it comes to the military.

    87. This test seems to mistake all libertarians as anarcho-capitalists. There are plenty of "full Libertarians" who are quite minarchist. Privately-issued money is quite a slippery slope to go down and there are certain responsibilities of a government, like managing legal issues.

    That said, I find the test interesting. But a more.... objectivist viewpoint would be appreciated in scoring this.

    74; I don't believe in a completely anarcho-capitalist system!

    77 here. About what i figured. I'm a middle of the road
    libertarian. Free thinking without complete devotion to a single political party

    My score was 97, on the lower end of hard-core libertarian, I think I'm fairly center-right so I guess that's pretty accurate.

    I scored a 75. Pretty low, I have the same complaints as the others about a skewed test (the author of the test advised us it was just for fun so no harm done) I like how the results said "your friends probably ask you to quit talking about your views." ha ha My liberal friends do ask me to quit talking about my views.

    I got a 58 - "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."

    Some of those questions are no win answers. Either choice is a bad move.
