The test I posted does have fewer questions, but the questions are not as biased, and they're 100% relevant to what you think about the proper role of government.

I consider myself to be basically moderately right, with strong libertarian tendencies. So in both cases, I know they classified me wrong!
Perhaps you've been classifying yourself wrong? Just out of curiosity, how did you answer the questions in the one I posted? I voted 'yes' to each of them, hence my 100% libertarian rating.
I disagree with the test on one thing, though. I don't think you actually need a two dimensional graph to plot where people stand on a political spectrum. Put the statists on one side, and the advocates of individual rights on the other side. There's no practical difference between Hitler and Stalin. The specific ideology of a statist is just window dressing, the result is the same: mass murder.
Actually... I disagree with the test on one other thing. An anarchist could get the same score as I did, because the questions do not weed out those who think there is NO proper role for government. I don't see any practical difference between an anarchist and a statist, though, because anarchy inevitably leads to dictatorship.
That flaw in the test shows its Libertarian (big 'L') bias. The Libertarian Party operates as a united front movement that includes anarachists, anarcho-marxists and other bizarro-world ideologies that are essentially hostile to true liberty.
