It wasn't biased towards libertarianism for me. I got a libertarian-socialist leaning.

"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

It didn't give me that result.

But how does that prove the quiz is biased toward libertarianism?

Yeah, especially when a libertarian doesn't score in the libertarian quad? The quiz is bogus and skewed towards anarchism = libertarianism, which is not accurate.

If it puts me, a statist (big government), at center, than it would put someone who is an actual centrist in the libertarian side, and likely make a real libertarian look like an anarchist.
