Where I stand (2009)
I took the OK Cupid politics test in 2005 and again in 2006. It’s been a while, so I took it again!
Here is my result for 2009:
And here are my 2005 and 2006 results for comparison:
My overall trend is to move deeper into the libertarian zone, and closer to anarchy, but my movement has slowed down. You won’t find me appreciably go into the anarchist area, because I do believe that a state is a necessary evil (to be kept small and contained—only as big as is needed to protect human rights and protect against foreign invasions).
I like this test because it isn’t just a two dimensional “Socialist/Democrat/Moderate/Republican/Conservative” test. It tracks economic permissiveness (vertical axis) and social permissiveness (horizontal axis).
I’m pretty sure that if you answer (like I did) that two consenting adults should be allowed to agree to a duel to the death you’re automatically thrown into the upper-right quadrant.
Let me know your results if you take the test! It only takes a few minutes.
