Libertarian
pretty much dead center
I tend to agree with pieces of both sides, but then they have the unfortunate habit of throwing something beyond retarded right next to the piece I like

Ya, I ended up at the peak of libertarian.....and so did my wife. And that's not a label I'd generally put on myself. Here all this time I thought I was just "conservative". Guess the founders have influenced me (and the people on this site  ) more than I thought. Sean |

solid libertarian, not touching any other quadrant.
the thing to keep in mind is that the results tend to be swayed on these things by the way that questions are asked.
I once took the political compass on the web and it placed me politically between Gandhi and JC. <g>
tp://www.politicalcompass.org/
I think most folks who see themselves as a conservative would have scored differently if there were questions on more hot-button social issues.

I am noticing a trend...
The real question is... Are we libertarian because we own guns? Or do we own guns because we are libertarian?

I would suspect the latter. Owning guns is a reflection of our passion for self-determination. tk |

Right by the 'n' on libertarian. unfortunately some of the questions answers were a littl elimiting, but quite good none the less.

Right on the "n" of Libertarian also describes my results.
Personally, the only disagreement I've had with Libertarians is their insistence on legalizing drug use. There also seems to be strong isolationist tendencies that I don't support.

I believe the Libertarian philosophy is more for non-intervention instead of isolation. Two completely different things and it's very often that people mistakenly attribute isolationism to libertarianism. |

I stand corrected. I was referring to a non-intervention military policy and not an isolationist economic policy. Words are important.

The Libertarian answers were more heavily explained. But its their quiz, don't you know. I'm polled Libertarian. Not surprising as I switched from 'no party' to Libertarian formally via my supervisor of elections in early 2009. I also joined the Libertarian Party http://www.lp.org for the paltry cost of $25. If more people just joined the party, it would help improve their visibility even if you didn't change your formal election designation. The Libertarian Party is the Third party nationally. I would like to see them, initially, become the second Party and consign the Democrats/progressives to the History bin. Sharing your results and the nolan quiz with your friends, relatives and other groups you associate with is all helpfull. If you want to run locally, County, State etc. then running as a Libertarian should be strongly considered. Right on the "n" of Libertarian also describes my results.

There are strong pro and against on issues in other parties, but they are still Republicans and Democrats despite it. e.g. abortion I don't agree with everything they promote 100%, but the more people in the party, the more influence to adjust issues. |

Libertarian.
News to me!
Like a few have said, I'm curious to know if/how much the results would change with more than 10 questions and perhaps even more answer options.

The first time I was exposed to this sort of quiz I was in college. It was handed out on a business card and called "the world's smallest political quiz." That quiz can now be found on the internet here. My roommate and I both took the quiz and both scored libertarian. Since the quiz had been handed out by the LP, we figured it was loaded, and that anyone would probably score libertarian. So, we started giving the quiz to anyone who'd take it, including random strangers. We were pretty surprised when it turned out that the results we got were actually pretty widely spread around the scale. It turned out that the reason the quiz had scored us as libertarians was probably because we actually were libertarians. |

Well I nibbled, and yeah, I like a lot of what the party has to say. Really not sure about the "end prohibition on drugs" part. I'll admit that I just don't have enough knowledge on the subject to know or predict that a legalization of controlled substances would reduce crime. I don't think it would. As many misdemeanor criminals wouldn't be guilty of anything anymore, I think many criminals, and I would think the more serious and serial criminals, would just have one less charge against them and not reduce crime. I also think their stance on abortion is at paradox with 1.0 of their Statement of Principles. 1.0 states; "Individuals should be free to make choices for themselves and to accept responsibility for the consequences of the choices they make." And while I don't like to think of pregnancy as a "consequence," it is a possible outcome of sex, and I personally wish more people would accept responsibility for the choices they make or be responsible enough to not make those choices until they're ready.  |

There are lots of Libertarians (both of the capital and small 'l' variety) who are pro-life, and plenty who are pro-choice. There isn't really a uniformity of opinion on that issue, although I think that most libertarians view government intervention on that issue with skepticism, simply because of that diversity of opinion. |

Add me to the camp of people surprised to find I scored in the Libertarian quadrant. I'm directly above the "n" all the way up at the edge of the diamond.
My mindset has definitely changed in the last 10 years or so, though. The test that Tom posted showed me as a Centrist when I took it years ago. Damn near dead center.
It may be more accurate to say that my mindset didn't change, I just actually pay attention to what is going on in the government now. When I was in my early/mid-twenties I couldn't be bothered with that stuff.
Thankfully I woke up.
Edited- Because I can't get names right.
