There was an option to display the image on a separate page. Having done that, I right clicked on the image and copied the URL and pasted it here.No surprise here:
Economic: -6.88
Libertarian: -5.23
(How the heck would I add an image?)
Interesting. On the world's smallest political quiz, I'm on the opposite corner of the square you are on. However, on the Political Compass quiz, I'm in the area labelled as "greens," in a totally different quadrant than you.When you use the capital "L" in "Libertarian", we read this as the proper name for the party, ie, Libertarian Party.
(It's analogous to the difference between "democrat" & "Democrat".)
We are Laissez-faire types, in both the Americastanian & Canuckistanian parties.
So it makes sense that you'd meet some resistance for left leaning economics.
This is a good label because people won't know what it means, so they'll ask questions.
I often identify as a "liberal" because of its classical sense, & also in the dictionary sense that I'm permissive in just about all political areas. Alas, RF has deemed that I'm not one, so I can't post in that restricted forum (even when agreeing on social liberal issues). But it's odd that the RF definition of "libertarian" is so broad that it's fully 50% of the political spectrum, & includes the majority of posters (who took the test). It's so broad as to lose much meaning.
I'll show again a diagram which embodies the Libertarian perspective....
The Political Spectrum Diagram in the OP is Euro-centric,
so that appears to be the source of the terminology difference.
I'm a Yankee, not a Froggie or Kaut, so I prefer N Am usages.

I think I saw a few of them slipping on all the bacon grease trying to make it your way.I accept that normal intelligent posters won't be anywhere near me in the political spectrum.
It leaks out of me sammiches at times.I think I saw a few of them slipping on all the bacon grease trying to make it your way.
I must not be normal, then. (Perhaps I'm not intelligent?)Weird.
But I won't hold it against you.

Normal is over-rated anyway.I must not be normal, then. (Perhaps I'm not intelligent?)

I'm sure Abby Normal and her husband Abe Normal will have something to say about that statement.Normal is over-rated anyway.
They're always going on about stuff....using words to say things!I'm sure Abby Normal and her husband Abe Normal will have something to say about that statement.
@Laika, don't feel too bad. When I identified as a Fascist and a National Socialist, it still kept sticking me on the leftist side, which shamed me. Lol. I actually don't think I've ever gotten a result outside of the leftist libertarian quadrant, oddly. Sometimes these quizzes can tell us things about ourselves we hadn't realized before. I'm just an anarcho-communist at heart.
Yeah, she's not as much of a traditionalist as she likes to think she is.I was wondering where you'd come out actually, as @Rival is in the Authoritarian Left square. She's much more Communist than me.
American political definitions are stupid and a mess. It's using "liberal" in terms of classical liberalism which, of course, is closer to what we call libertarianism. Modern American "liberals" aren't really liberals by the more standard definition, since they believe in a bit more government regulation in terms of a social safety net.This diagram smells Eurocentric....look where "Liberalism" is.
American "liberals" are not so friendly towards capitalism.
The diagram for the Worlds's Smallest Political Quiz is much better for N Americastanians.
And it has numbers!
It's the best kind of propaganda!American political definitions are stupid and a mess.

The World's Smallest Political Quiz is basically libertarian propaganda, so of course you like it.
