Libertarian Purity Test

From Brian Caplan, the Libertarian Purity Test. I scored 35, which makes me solidly libertarian, but I tend to agree with Tim Sandefur (who scored 96, making him a hardcore libertarian) that the test tends to assume that only anarcho-capitalists are "true" libertarians.

Joe Carter is compiling the results from bloggers, as is Tim Lambert.

I scored 62!!!!

I scored 100 (I would have made a higher score, but I believe that we need to control our borders and that we need a military) and I can't believe that anyone who got less than 75 should be considered a libertarian at all. Here's how I would break down the results:

0-9, Communist/Nazi
10-74, Conventional Republican
75-99, Small "l" libertarian
100-129 Large "L" libertarian
>130 Anarcho-Capitalist

This thoroughly un-reconstructed New Deal liberal scored a fifteen. Way too high. I demand a recount!
