Your score pegs you as economically extremely capitalist and socially center-libertarian.


Extreme capitalists generally believe that the free market should be unregulated and laissez-faire in nature, with government either only intervening in extreme cases or never intervening at all. They also believe in significant reductions of government services. Many extreme capitalists believe that it is not the government's responsibility to assure welfare for the poor, but rather that the poor should fend for themselves or receive welfare through some form of private charity.

Social center-libertarians generally have moderate social views, with a slight lean toward avoiding government intervention. However, they support government intervention in matters that they see as threats to society.

I just re-took it and the numbers are almost exactly the same.  So I'm consistently screwed up.

Still not entirely sure about question 1. I don't really agree with the libertarian standard of 'should be legal if it doesn't harm people directly' but changed my answer anyway given what the question seems to imply.

Your score pegs you as economically extremely capitalist and socially moderately libertarian.

Extreme capitalists generally believe that the free market should be unregulated and laissez-faire in nature, with government either only intervening in extreme cases or never intervening at all. They also believe in significant reductions of government services. Many extreme capitalists believe that it is not the government's responsibility to assure welfare for the poor, but rather that the poor should fend for themselves or receive welfare through some form of private charity.

Moderate social libertarians generally favor a hands-off approach to social legislation. They may believe that the government has no right to enforce morals, but may support certain controls on individual rights to avoid crime, drug use, or similar social ills.

I've become more free-trade oriented.

And I continue to march to the bottom right corner.

(I haven't really changed my mind about anything policy-wise - I suppose I'm just subscribing more and more to libertarian theory - what reading the Reason blog for a few months does to you . . .)
