How did you score?

Here's my score: http://www.quiz2d.com/quiz/Libertarian.php?personal=83.5&economic=91.2

So yeah, Radical Libertarian. I'm not surprised.

Poll coming.
Why do you call this the Nolan Chart? This is the Nolan Chart. Anyway, this is my result (not a surprise):

I have to say that the statists have a point about this. It's not as bad as the Political Compass but it definitely mis-phrases some of their positions. On top of that it has some really odd categories to describe people.
 
It is not as bad as the PC? Oh, give over! The quiz linked in the OP is hopelessly biased and horribly worded.
 
If anyone's not feeling it yet, I also love the BBC, do not associate it with censorship or government ownership, and also know it to be one of the most unbiased news agencies out there (and certainly the most unbiased of the ones I access regularly).

Also, censorship on television is not about violence and sex for me. Censorship is about deception, misleading advertising and inaccurate information. I am very happy for the government to control or prosecute these sorts of things whilst at the same time not really caring about sex or violence on television.

The Political Compass is horrible. It was obviously written by a lefty and is full of lefty misconceptions about economics among other things. It is impossible to answer it correctly. Do you prefer unemployment or inflation? Ummm. No. I'm not in favour of either. Nor do I buy the Keynesian bull about this being a choice.

This being said, after re-reading this quiz, I'm gonna have to agree with you; it is even worse. I hadn't noticed the little blurbs about each question at the top and glossed over the awful colour scheme. Blechh. It even misrepresents that the positions of libertarians! Yeah, OK. I find it embarrassing to find that someone I probably agree with pretty closely made up with this thing.

There's a lot less excuse for the Political Compass, though. It's been around a long time and has a very high profile. There is no excuse for it. This, in contrast, is just some guy with a website.
 
You want to see a totalitarian? Behold!

A very silly test, presumably made by someone young, male and never having missed a meal. The book recommandations were hillarious, and I am tempted to comment upon it. Perhaps later.

Greetings, Comrade!

I found the "suggested links" and such below hilarious, and also the fact that it couldn't differentiate between different "totalitarian" groups, as if they, with their radically different ideologies, purposes, methods and reasoning, are the ones who are intrinsically the same as each other, whereas Enlightenmentist-government is fundamentally more different from other forms of itself...

This bit got me the most:
You like a goodly amount of government spending. Unfortunately, the government is currently going broke. You need help, tax help. TaxHelpUSA.org is devoted to tax simplification that can work, and is acceptable to the current liberal administration.
I mean, dayum, I thought I'd have to change the broken system to affect the broken policies stemming from it, but it turns out its easier and therefore obviously better to just fit new policies to the broken system...

Is totalitarianism even possible today? The idea that a single person or faction can rule over every aspect of a modern state seems a bit absurd.
How is it absurd? Its only absurd in the sense that every coherent group of people today follows an ideological system focused on individual rights. This isn't a belief that is set in stone - as is proved by previous the existence of totalitarian systems, which were generally reactions to the current system.

I took the Nolan quiz in you link and I got Centrist on that one. But still it is not a good quiz.

Hello fellow socialists, moderate fascists, croney capitalists, communitarians, and some theocrats

apparently we make the best buddies, and should all strive to make a liberal authoritarian paradise on earth, and since we all want the same thing I believe no prblems could arisefrom us joining forces:lol:

This is indeed a ******** test

...by the way, could someone provide a breakdown on the political alignments of a communitarian and a croney capitalist because those titles are hillarious
 
Also, personal freedom is not political freedom, yet this quiz seems to think they are the same...
Nor is the scale of "Collectivism/Individualism" properly described as a simple scale of economic freedom (at least unless we are to render the whole exercise pointless by pre-supposing the correctness of Libertarianism).
 
What kind of answers did you give?

Totalitarian ones, of course. I like "censorship like the BBC". I like the government spending. However, after taking the test, it told me that instead of fixing the broken system to adhere to my understandings and values, I could just change my values to adhere to the broken system, so I'm obviously going to do that. It also told me that big government is bad because someone else is in control, and that there's a way to put me in control, as if that would be magnitudes better. Which it must be - these seem like objective, intelligent guys, after all!

Greetings, Comrade Virote.
Can't complain about the company, you are most certainly one of the sharp ones here, even if we might disagree on certain topics.

Indeed. But this is a test made by propertarians (Libertarians is a word they stole from socialists and they have no right to use it). it is amazing what those people don't know.

How about this for a totalitarian system. Everything is decided by an omnipotent, all wise market, which forces people to behave accordingly. All kinds of social relations are business oriented, you are no longer a citizen or a patient or a student, but a customer or a consumer.

Hallo, fellow freedom hater. I'd love to write the constitution for that state!

Good ones. :p
Exactly.
By the way I took that other test, which presumably was the real Nolan Chart. That one was even worse. Long on triteness and pretentious waffle (how surprising), short on content. It made a liberal out of me, presumably because I didn't think homosexuals are the scum on Earth. And it used that silly term statist (sadist would have been a better one). In short, infantile, mind-numbing rubbish.
As expected, I might add.
