I found this when searching information about the influence of libertarianism in video games. I figured I'd post it here. I'd be interested to hear the thoughts of this community as well as what, if any, questions you answered "No" to. My score was a 160.
I scored 130. I have a lot of problems with this one. Aside from the conflating of anarcho-capitalism with libertarianism, there are some nonsense questions like, "Should the law itself be privatized?" If it's privatized, it's not the law. I would also have liked a "maybe" or "I don't know" response for several of them.

To be fair Shane, libertarianism is a pretyt broad term. It can encompass minarchist, anarchist, propritarian, Non-propritarian, consequentialist, and natural rights distinctions among others.

Yes, but this quiz seems to use it exclusively to mean anarcho-capitalist.
Red flag alert--a picture of Ayn Rand as if she is an example of a libertarian: placed along pictures of Milton Friedman and Murray Rothbard.
