No, not the show or the ship, but the political description. Accurate except that I’m not a social con (UPDATE: probably like this guy), although the four “defining values” pretty much hit the truth. I don’t think it tests libertarianism well, since libertarianism frequently has a difference between “how I feel about X” and “what the government should do about X”. (Simplified example: the libertarian might have a religious opposition to homosexuality, but not think it’s any of the goverment’s business.) I suspect they’re mostly hiding not just in the Upbeats and the Enterprisers, but in the Disaffecteds and even the Liberals if their focus is social libertarianism over economic libertarianism

My reaction was the same as yours. I felt left out when I read the categories. I took the test although I didn't like the questions. It told me I was an Upbeat. That's the best category, I guess, but it really doesn't fit.

They force you to choose between two imperfect options on purpose, which isn't a so much of a problem when you fit somewhere.
