    Ditto - 70%

    The test is clearly stupid if I score the same as an admitted collectivist.

    The question about police and DNA didn't specify whether the police were state-run or private. Neither did it specify whether the DNA was taken by coercion of proferred.

    The questions about foreign policy are the reason the LPUK don't currently get my membership. If you believe in freedom for yourself but not other people you aren't really a libertarian.

    90% and called a liberal FFS LPUK get a test that works and is a bit more sophisticated

    I suggest questions that get to the heart of the matter - to find out whether people harbour beliefs that the individual has responsibilities to other people, or whether they have managed to free their mind from that brainwashing they got in school.

    I got this from the test:

    It is wrong for democratic nations to overthrow foreign dictators?
    Your answer was illiberal

    It is illiberal, and a sign of gross arrogance, for one state to impose their will on another in this way. These issues are for the people of said state to resolve themselves with their leader(s).
    If you accept slavery for others just because national boundaries say you can't intervene then you really are illiberal. The test is a joke.

    I got 80% although i am going to be a member of the LPUK i really cant disagree with this comment

    if you accept slavery for others just because national boundaries say you can't intervene then you really are illiberal. The test is a joke.
    But then again you cannot say that someone is/isnt a libertarian based on 10 yes or no questions, it just acts as a general guide i would of thought.

    Precisely. And not only that but if the fascists who have enslaved those people have designs for you too, then surely there can be no non-involvement? Passive interventionism (which is what so-called interventionism really is) is moral bankruptcy.

    Please see this thread for a more detailed look at this issue.
