I came across an interesting quiz.

Nolan Chart

I'm about halfway up the Libertarian arrow and a little right of center.

Interesting.

I used to be a Centrist. Now I'm VERY Libertarian.

Okay, even MORE hilarious is that when I clicked on my own link, it put me at the peak of statist.

I'm left of the center, but 3/4 up on the Libertarian section.

A very interesting quiz, it said I was a conservative libertarian, which sounds about right.

It says I am a centrist liberal, I guess:p

Hello:

It called me a commie pinko libertarian.

excon

Libertarian!

I am Libertarian, but I knew that already! Lol

Wonder why mine said. We have notified the FBI of your IP address and they will visit you shortly??


OK. Just kidding.

That is funny!

I'm a centrist with libertarian tendencies and all this time I thought I was a liberal, go figure. The quiz was stacked because some of the answers are a best fit not an true expression of my views which can be conservative

If you look at the authors of the articles on the left you`ll notice that over 90% of them are libertarians. I bet the quiz is geared to show libertarian most of the time.

No bet. I just thought it was an interesting quiz.

Apparently I am a Liberal Libertarian.

I have no idea what that means :D

As I suspected "libertarianism" is such a vague and undefined position that everyone has some opinions that this poll considers libertarian.

This poll positions me on the right side of the libertarian slot and close to centrist.But there were more than one set of option statements that did not exactly fall within the position I take on the issues. I also find their positioning strange as I would place American liberal and statist almost in the same plane.

The truly interesting facets of this little exercise are 1) Bringing some others into the Current Events forum, and 2) As NK said, the way the options were written. It demonstrates how easy it is to come up with a survey or a poll that will say anything you want it to.

Question? Is there such a thing as a conservative Democrat?

Used to be. There used to be liberal Republicans, too. Nowadays it seems like all they'll admit to is "moderate."
