The World's Smallest Political Quiz is along the same lines. The questions aren't any less biased, but the axis they use is slightly different (and, IMNSHO, much better).

Almost exactly in the center, but just a shade into libertarian right. Pretty much what I imagined.
Economic Left/Right: 1.00
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -0.72

But it's not that my opions are average; I have a lot of "strongly agree" and "strongly disagree" that cancel each other out. For example, I think that drugs should be legal and pornography illegal. That's because I think porn does far more damage to society. I think that most businesses should be left alone in a free market, but the ones who cause lots of negative externalities like pollition or disease should be crushingly taxed, heavily regulated, and otherwise squashed. So I'm authoritarian in some ways and libertarian in others, but it averaged these two views.

Economic Left/Right: -2.88

Hmm, quite as I imagined it to be... I guess I'd be even more liberal, but I think they counted the patriotic answers (considering "our" country... I guess they meant Britain, I answered as my own country) as authoritarian.


Edit:
I took the shorter test Wraith mentioned and got left-liberal.

Your Personal Self-Government Score is 90%.
Your Economic Self-Government Score is 40%.

Hmm... although shorter, (I usually see too short tests as more inaccurate...) I did like the "maybe"-option.

Crappy Test Tired of ads?

Too many bullshit questions.

For example, what does astrology have anything to do with either category?

You know a test is absurd when an anarchist is less libertarian (-4.3, I believe) than a commie and is almost an economic centrist (-1.6).

I'm a very libertarian commie. I once told my comrades that the day after the revolution I would become an anarchist and start the movement to overthrow them.

Based on the results announced so far, the following people are the most "libertarian":

DaShi - 6
Che G –6.5
Ade –6.67
Hobbes –6.72
Krazy H –7
Myself –7.9

I don't consider myself a Libertarian. What about the rest of you? Have any self-proclaimed Libertarians actually scored a "high" libertarian result?

I vaguely dislike this test (done it a godd few times by now), both because it vaguely misses the point of the left-right so-called economical (really group-power) scale, and because it fails tol take into account the difference between soppy-liberal wet leftism and real, pragmatic socialism. Of course corporations can't be expected to have any social responsibility, d'uh, that's why we need to get rid of them! Etc.

I love the way they put Eysenck on their reading list, only they don't use his model...

Eysenck's model had a left-right axis and a democratic/autocratic (open and accountable/closed and non-accountable) axis. I identify much more with the 'democratic' label than the 'libertarian' one...

DarkCloud, as I said I have moved a bit since last time I took the test. You may want to update the list.

I changed the strength of my opinion on some questions, from disagree/agree to strong agee/disagree. Sometimes the decisions are borderline - mainly because I can see both sides of the equation. In the end I thought, "Quit sitting on the fence!"

Actually, to score in the upper right half in this test like you did you'd have to be almost-Hitler. Centrists score maybe -2/-2.
