I have, for a long time, considered myself a libertarian. Found this test on the internet. No, it is not terribly scientific, and I do detect a bias, but it IS fun, anyhow.

I got a score of 68.

That sounds about right! 
It might also explain about why I am in such a funk about the election.
Where do you score on this test?
I scored 37. Obviously I am a commie.
Pretty black and white questions.
16-30 points: You are a soft-core libertarian. With effort, you may harden and become pure 
Your score is ... 11.
Guess I'm no libertarian ... ;-)
"Your libertarian credentials are obvious. Doubtlessly you will become more extreme as time goes on."
I can't believe that I got a 28.
17.
These questions seemed kind of extreme.
48
31-50 points: Your libertarian credentials are obvious. Doubtlessly you will become more extreme as time goes on.
I scored a 76. I thought I was more of a libertarian than that. A problem of a test like this is that an honest answer requires that everything happens simultaneously. I woulds like to see government completely out of all aspects of helping individuals; however this shouldn't happen until private organizations and individuals are ready to take up the slack; and this can't happen until taxation is greatly reduced.
I scored 31:

Many of the questions were indeed frustrating giving only all or nothing options. I voted no on many issues that I would have voted yes with a qualifier.
Wow, this is being quite the revelation. An utterly different way to group A2K' ers by their political conviction than the usual tired left/right, liberal/conservative one.
Lemme make a list (it's what I do, after all):

Wow, I scored a 99. I never considered myself a hard-core libertarian, guess I was wrong.
Wow, I got 14!
Me and Nimh, holding it down on the low end!

I've always known that: I'm starting to have libertarian leanings
