 "51-90 points: You are a medium-core libertarian, probably self-consciously so. Your friends probably encourage you to quit talking about your views so much."
 
 Sounds about right.

 I really just think marijana, prostitution and any consensual adult sex should be legal and free of govt. intervention.   Didn't realize I'd score so low...

sure sign of being a pure libertarian -- you like to corner people in social situations and rant about Ayn Rand until they're forced to awkwardly extricate themselves and get away from you.

 31-50 points: Your libertarian credentials are obvious. Doubtlessly you will become more extreme as time goes on.

Was this your score description or are you just posting this one to make some sort of point?

my score is 16.
 
 my earlier point was based on personal experience -- the few hard-core libertarians I've encountered are people who like to corner people and lecture them about their views.  They're as bad as Jehova's Witnesses.

 doubt it!
 
 I'm reasonably comfortable with the status-quo, but think we could stand to see things be a little easier for the working poor (a little less space between CEO salaries and worker salaries, etc.)

I want GGW to take the test.....
 
 Personally I find it hard to imagine what people were agreeing to to get such high scores. Anyone want to share some of their five pointers?
 
 I watched poorlulu take her test and 15, looked about right me too.
 
 I agree with Celestial, at this time.

I wonder if couples get on much better if they score similar amounts?
 
 Anyone in a couple who got vastly dissimilar scores?
 
 
 And yep Pollard. I totally agree.

 I answered yes to the vast majority of 1-point questions, some of the three-pointers, and none of the five-pointers.

you got it wrong...maybe you heard me say I was a "libertine"
 
 I always say that Libertarian ideas are interesting, theoretically, but would never work in reality.  :roll:
