Honestly I hate tests like this. Often I have a very hard time accepting the premise of the questions. Personally I separate morals from state actions so I'm sure I read many of the questions differently from statists.
On moral issues I defer to my understanding of the teachings of Christianity/Jesus. With that in mind I might find something morally wrong but at the same time believe the state preventing it via violence is also wrong. God should be the judge not man.
But this test pegs me pretty well.

I feel the same way. No surprise, then, that we have very similar looking results.

I would have been shocked if I didn't score libertarian. I don't claim that label but I align with those that do on many topics. Fellow travelers. Some of my answers are based completely on my desire for people to be treated with dignity and respect which aligns with my faith. Jesus commanded us to love our enemies. Something we have a very hard time with and sometimes like to ignore. It has really pushed me to be antistate but not hate the people behind the state. They are just tools being used to do the enemy's work. Many of my answers are colored by Jesus teaching and might be contrary to others. I think it has a lot to do with my view of the state as evil vs just corrupted.
