Take the Noland Test

[Freedom1911]

Are you Left, Right, Libertarian, Centrist, or Statist?

It is a short test, ten questions. See how you do.

World's Smallest Political Quiz

Funny you should post that. I was going to post it a few weeks ago when Glenn Beck featured it on his show but the website was blitzed for almost a week and I didn't want to send you guys a dead link.

Edit to add: http://www.nolanchart.com/article7443.html

That is a good link discussing the outcomes of the Nolan Quiz. I myself placed near the very top center of the Libertarian quadrant while taking the quiz.

Double edit to add: My (now ex) wife used to HATE Libertarians and I had actually never known that I fell into that category with my own beliefs. Maybe that's why it didn't work out?

It doesn't really surprise me that my dot was all the way at the tip of the Libertarian area.

Yah, I have always thought I was a Conservative, but the test puts me near the top of the Libertarian section.

From the page of the url you added,

libertarian: supports the smallest possible government, supports individual liberty in all ways, prefers to only defend our borders and not interfere in other countries' affairs.
conservative: tends to give lip-service to liberty while placing emphasis on government control of "family" issues (gay marriage, abortion, borders, etc.) while pushing for major military involvement worldwide by America, in the hopes of creating a faith-based, "conservative" world.
liberal: tends to give lip-service to liberty while placing emphasis on government control of "social issues" (social safety net, minority rights, etc.) while pushing for major diplomatic involvement worldwide by America backed by somewhat lesser military involvement, in the hopes of creating an inclusive, "liberal" world.
statist: the marriage of liberal and conservative aspects of big government. Supports both the conservative "family" agenda and the liberal "social" agenda. Supports both major diplomatic and military involvement abroad.
centrist: somewhere in the middle of all of the above.


I personally do not agree with this guys definition of a Conservative. But feel that Conservatives are closer to a combination of the Libertarian and Conservative definitions.


But by these definitions, I would have to agree that today I am Libertarian minded.

Interesting quiz, Libertarian here too. Not what I expected

Interesting definitions. I don't think I agree with either, but it is interesting.

I think it sounded pretty spot-on, myself...

 

[RetArmySgt]

I ended up in the center right of the libertarian section. I always thought that i was more on the Conservative side.

 

[Texan2]

If you look at those in politics that call themselves conservatives, and what they holler about then this definition fits perfect. Go the the Republican National Committee website and read the Republican party platform....makes this definition crystal clear.
I was one square away from being at the very peak of the chart.

Took this quiz the last time it was posted here.
My dot makes me right of center libertarian.
No surprise there - LOL!!!

 

[Young Gun]

Meh, I never really understood what any of this meant anyways. Apparently I'm a centrist

I never would have considered myself Libertarian, but I guess I am getting fairly close.
Of course, I knew I would not land in the Left or Statist.
Pffft!
