Libertarian Test
How Libertarian Are You?
Libertarianism has been called the "third force" in politics - an alternative to the traditional left and right. Though its foundational ideas date back to the 1700s, libertarianism is only now beginning to make a bid for large-scale representation in politics. Though a lot of online "libertarian quizzes" spin the questions to make everyone come out as a libertarian, this test tries to be "spin-free" by simply confronting you with libertarian positions, as voiced by leading libertarian thinkers over the years.
How libertarian are you? Let's find out.
