I can assure you that the quiz is not rigged. I wrote it. Instead, what’s happening here is that what you are associating as conservative positions are actually libertarian positions. This is not an uncommon mistake to make, since “conservative” is used by many people to represent a wide range of viewpoints from very pro-freedom to very anti-freedom.

You can see at http://www.nolanchart.com/surveytotals.php which answers are the conservative answers. Study them, and you’ll notice that they’re not really closer to the libertarian answers than they are to the statist answers.

The survey answers represent and summarize those answers given on the various topics by actual leading conservative politicians and thinkers.

No survey offering just four answers to every topic/question can possibly and perfectly represent all viewpoints, and this series of 10 questions is no different. Instead, what the survey accurately does is to represent each of the four camps as accurately as possible in a way that distinguishes each camp from the others as much as possible.

At some point, we plan to add a fifth, centrist answer to each set of answers, but that’s a back-burner project at this point.

I thought I was a conservative libertarian but the quiz says I’m a centrist with liberal leanings….lol….
