A libertarian believes in little to moderate government intervention on both personal and economic matters. They generally believe in a government that is small and limited to the extent of protecting people's liberty. They tend to be opposed to war, police powers, victimless crimes, foreign intervention and what they consider to be a welfare state. They support both property rights and self-ownership. More moderate libertarians may use a more utilitarian or gradualist approach, while the more heavily minimalist libertarians allow less room for compromise in a direction that they consider to be away from liberty. Libertarians generally support capitalism as an economic system. Libertarian thought tends to be individualist in nature.

A paleo-liberal believes in low to moderate government intervention on personal matters and moderate government intervention on economic matters. They tend to be opposed to war, police powers and victimless crimes. They believe in a social safety net, but to a lesser extent then most leftists. They generally believe in protecting personal liberty. They support self-ownership and privacy. Some Paleo-liberals may lean towards embracing capitalism as an economic system. Paleo-liberals are reminiscent of the attitude of the "new left" of the 60's and 70's. Strong Paleo-Liberals border on Libertarianism.
| Paleo-liberal huh? I think this test is calling me old 
I didn't like a lot of the questions. Many were excessively absolute or vague, putting me in a box I disagree with, because I disagree with the stated question more. There were also a lot of typos which TBH lower my opinion of the test's quality | |

"Paleo-Liberal", with 63% Personal and 41% Economic.
Apparently, this test thinks that "Every civilized society has people below to be commanded and people above to be obeyed" and "Government should not always reflect the will of the majority" are completely and totally balanced out by the fact that I am not overtly racist.
Priorities, much?

This test is bs. Some of the questions are so loaded that its laughable... not to mention the spelling mistakes. Lots of the questions needed a 5th "depends" as they were not black and white answerable questions.

A paleo-conservative believes in moderate government intervention on personal matters and little to moderate government intervention on economic matters. They support capitalism as an economic system and therefore are opposed to what they consider to be a welfare state. They believe in property rights or homestead. Some paleo-conservatives tend to have an "isolationist" bent to them, and therefore are more likely to be opposed to foreign interventions then most rightists. Paleo-conservatives are reminiscent of the "old right" of the 30's, 40's and 50's. Strong Paleo-Conservatives border on Libertarianism.
| I tend to think I believe in more personal liberty than this quiz says I do. It seems to be biased towards super ultra Libertarians.

I got Centrist 0_0
I am literally right in the middle. Quote: |
A centrist believes in moderate government intervention in both personal and economic matters. They tend to be somewhat ambiguous, as they may have the oppurtunity to pick the side of any group surrounding them on any given issue. They generally believe in a moderate social safety net and what they consider to be a balanced stance on personal liberty. Centrists tend to emphasize compromise and cooperation between partisan groups.
