You desire substantially less government control of economic activity and somewhat less government control over personal activity than is presently the case in the U.S. This makes you a moderate libertarian with conservative tendencies.

These are exciting times for right-libertarians. Ron Paul has gotten an incredible amount of traction and attention compared to his run as a Libertarian and 1988. He is not going to win the Republican nomination, but he has recreated the niche for right-libertarians within the Republican Party. Do you have the patience to work within the Republican Party to actually take advantage of his foothold? You might want to get involved in your local GOP committees and get involved in Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty. (If you find the Ron Paul is too radical for your taste, do listen to his son Rand, who is more of a Republican team player.)

On the other hand, if you want someone to support this November, the Libertarian Party actually has a presidential candidate qualified for the office: former governor Gary Johnson. He is not the world's most charismatic speaker, but his program is on the edge of feasible, and his resume is impressive. The press likes him and would take him seriously if libertarians (broadly defined) would enthusiastically support his campaign.

Finally, if neither of these options are to your taste, or if both options fizzle, there is my proposed new party.

In the ballpark, except I value personal freedom more than (or equal to) property rights.

Interesting blog post about the overall quiz results -

The strongest smaller-government signal is for the issue of marijuana legalization. 60% of the quiz takers say we should legalize marijuana outright. Another 18% believe we should make marijuana less illegal than it is today, either by decriminalizing recreational use or by making medical marijuana legal.

On the other hand 56% of the Quiz takers believe we should continue keep our laws against harder drugs and/or increase enforcement. This is despite the fact that the Quiz grants users many incremental options between the status quo and outright legalization.

The strongest signal for bigger government comes from the Public Education question. There is strong support for increasing public school funding and graduate school educations for teachers. A mere 16.6% of takers favor some form of school privatization (vouchers, tax credits or simple public school abolition). Those who favor school choice have an uphill battle, at least with the Quiz2D demographic (which includes many students currently in public schools).

A few more highlights:

  • ObamaCare and/or outright socialized medicine has strong support.
  • Nearly 40% of Quiz takers believe we should legalize prostitution.
  • The Second Amendment still has strong support, though nearly a quarter of the takers believe we should have stronger background checks for pistols and semi-automatic rifles.
  • Over half the takers believe in some additional immigration restrictions.
  • There is a strong sentiment towards scaling back or privatizing Social Security over time.

This test was much more limited and US centric compared to the political compass one, which seemed alot more accurate than this...

Here is more if anyone wants to test

Thanks for the link, breh.

I kinda like the one I posted better though...I agree that it's more US centric, but it actually asks people about how they feel about actual political issues rather than what policies they theoretically support. Different strokes for different folks I guess.
