Yes, I am indeed a left-liberal according to this. How my centrist wife puts up with me, I'll never know. Just like Carvel and Madelyn I guess.

are you sure? wouldn't that make you a right-wing authoritarian? or do I just not understand geometry?

I have no idea how you guys get the images on here, but on my third attempt, I'm back to being a left-liberal:

Your Personal Self-Government Score is 60%.
Your Economic Self-Government Score is 10%

well the overall results would have to be a bit skewed seeing as it's a on a site advocating self-government. plus i would have to agree with harriet on the over simplification of complex issues. i.e. no mention in the question of what are the ramification of totally legalizing drunks. i suspect that abuse would become a bigger problem, that health care costs would rise and productivity would be lowered.

it follows that a libertarian site would oversimplify the issues, given that libertarianism itself offers some great ideas in THEORY but greatly oversimplifies reality

I guess what is amusing is the people that have taken it are far more left and middle than the national averages. I wonder if that is a product of our age, location, wealth or all three.

the right wing authoritarians are too busy planning how to rule all of us fucking around with internet quizzes to actually waste their time taking them

By the way, I got this quiz from the Robbie Fulks chatboard.

http://www.theadvocates.org/celebrities/robbie-fulks.html

Fulks, apparently refers to himself as a libertarian, though he adds:

Ayn Rand's biography easily beats any of the books she wrote, if it's interesting books you like. I am comfortable enough with the libertarian tag, though after 9-11 an abridgment of the absolutist understanding of civil liberties was both inevitable and necessary.

I hate musicians that dabble in political issues, or even say much about them, because it transforms them immediately from dashing figures of romance to pious retards. I'd hate to rob anyone of the pleasure of my music just because he read somewhere that I voted for Reagan. Oops.

what i find interesting is the results of a more "scientific" telephone poll of 822 likely voters in 2000. the results are still going to skewed in the favor of liberatian because of the simplicity of the questions.

"Using the same questions and scale, a Portrait of America telephone survey of 822 likely voters found 32% of American voters are centrists; 16% are libertarians; 14% are authoritarians; 13% liberal; 7% are conservative; and, 17% border one or more categories."

addendum: I wonder what the results of this quiz would be post 9/11 with this question still in place "People should be free to come and go across borders; to live and work where they choose."
