Here are my results, as per usual. (Ignore the old version number; I made a couple bug fixes since then.)

After AmericanValues flopped, I decided it was better to make original political quizzes instead of adapting other people's code, like my Third Parties Quiz.

This one's inspired by the Political Compass, but doesn't use any of its code or other intellectual property — matter of fact: the name is kind of weird because I didn't want to get sued; the Political Compass is both copyrighted and trademarked, and I want to avoid any unnecessary lawsuits.

I decided to release this one in alpha, since I want to take my time ironing out all the features before heading to beta. That does mean, however: it might have problems; take the test at your own risk. Also, please use the feedback form if you have any suggestions or ideas!

Why do these quizzes always miss the libertarian "the state shall not infringe" option?

What is the difference between "disagree" and "strongly disagree", "agree" and "strongly agree"? How much we'll tolerate before we revolt? The desirable harshness of punishment?

It's hard for me to think like a Libertarian, because I lie to their political opposite: Progressive-Conservatism. If you'd like to suggest any improvements: I'd be more than happy to consider them.

Capitalism is about freedom, not profit. Profit has existed long before the invention of Capitalism.

  1. What role do workers have in the business?

E. All roles should be defined by the organization founders in its constitution.

  1. Should utilities such as electricity and running water be publicly-owned?

E. People should be able to form an organization and decide its rules, if they want. They can voluntarily choose to only deal with this organization.

Thanks for your feedback, Xi!

E. All roles should be defined by the organization founders in its constitution.

That kind o falls into B. since they've got'o find a business with agreeable terms or advocate for the constitution to be amended.

I rewrote this question and its answers a few times, though, so I'm sure there's a better way to say what I mean.

E. People should be able to form an organization and decide its rules, if they want. They can voluntarily choose to only deal with this organization.

That falls into B. or D. since it doesn't involve public ownership.

People could start a socialist organization, but B probably does cover it. And D.

People could start a nonprofit organization providing free services to locals/everyone. Nonprofits are kinda publicly owned, they just aren't run by the state.

I only see nonprofits as being publicly-owned if they're state-mandated, since otherwise: it's just another business.

Ok.

I've seen neoliberals who want to force all organizations to maximize their profit.

I don't know how widespread this idea is. It could work, in a world filled with rational robots.

So, I wanted to highlight that libertarianism leaves people the ability to create social services.
