Very short quiz to determine you political philosophy: http://www.self-gov.org/quiz.html According to your answers, your political philosophy is libertarian. Libertarian Libertarians are self-governors in both personal and economic matters. They believe government's only purpose is to protect people from coercion and violence. They value individual responsibility, and tolerate economic and social diversity.

According to your answers, your political philosophy is centrist. Centrist Centrists favor selective government intervention and emphasize practical solutions to current problems. They tend to keep an open mind on new issues. Many centrists feel that government serves as a check on excessive liberty Your Personal Self-Government Score is 60%. Your Economic Self-Government Score is 70%. Is that a polite way of saying middle of the road??

Not sure if I understand "Many centrists feel that government serves as a check on excessive liberty" is that saying that a centrist thinks government should be involved in people's private lives???

That might be the personal self government part- like having drug laws, sex laws, and the other questions they asked. So yeah, in a way that would be private lives.

Authoritarian Authoritarians want government to advance society and individuals through expert central planning. They often doubt whether self-government is practical. Left-authoritarians are also called socialists, while fascists are right-authoritarians.
Your Personal Self-Government Score is 30%. Your Economic Self-Government Score is 10%.
