I think it indicates accurately that most people are Libertarian at their core.

STATIST

Statists want government to have a great deal of power over the economy and individual behavior. They frequently doubt whether economic liberty and individual freedom are practical options in today's world. Statists tend to distrust the free market, support high taxes and centralized planning of the economy, oppose diverse lifestyles, and question the importance of civil liberties.

Didn't know I was. Do I have to agree with everything on one side or the other?

I know how you guys voted, and it's easy to get that score. I don't agree with it, and I find it hard to believe you do too. It would be a screwed up world if everything happened to get this score.

According to your answers, the political group that agrees with you most is...Libertarian
Libertarians support maximum liberty in both personal and economic matters. They advocate a much smaller government; one that is limited to protecting individuals from coercion and violence. Libertarians tend to embrace individual responsibility, oppose government bureaucracy and taxes, promote private charity, tolerate diverse lifestyles, support the free market, and defend civil liberties.

After taking a heap of these quizes opver the years i think it comes down to how they word it, take any 2 quizes thye may be asking the same question but the way they word it can give different results in the end i have identified with anything between the far left and the far right

60,20 Liberal(but close on the chart to Centrist.......).

My problem is the absolutes on that quiz. Obviously, it's meant to be simplistic, but think about a few of those items. NO barriers to free trade? Say goodbye to a high standard of living for your workforce, you are competing with Zambia for work. NO government subsidy for any business? The ticket to falling behind in emerging technology. NO government involvement in Social Security? With so few of the citizens living on the land(or even owning the land), massive starvation and deprivation. Depending on 'charity'? That always works out well, right? Frankly, if you got a 100%, you ain't really thinking, IMHO.
