Hmm, this is interesting.

Took one o' them political personality quizzes.

Paleo-Liberal You scored 68% Personal Liberty and 45% Economic Liberty!

A paleo-liberal believes in low to moderate government intervention on personal matters and moderate government intervention on economic matters. They tend to be opposed to war, police powers and victimless crimes. They believe in a social safety net, but to a lesser extent then most leftists. They generally believe in protecting personal liberty. They support self-ownership and privacy. Some Paleo-liberals may lean towards embracing capitalism as an economic system. Paleo-liberals are reminiscent of the attitude of the "new left" of the 60's and 70's. Strong Paleo-Liberals border on Libertarianism.

My test tracked 2 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 99% on Personal You scored higher than 99% on Economic

Paleo-liberal and paleo-conservative refer to people who hew to the values of liberalism or conservatism as they were established a century or so ago. As opposed to the caricatures the positions have become.

I gave up around question 70.

They don't get any better. Many of those questions need an "I disagree with this statement on the grounds that it's incoherent" response. It's one of those quizzes where you spend most of your time guessing at the intention behind the question rather than just answering the question. (And many of the statements are phrased in clearly biased fashions or are clearly prompting specific responses. "We should nuke Iran" indeed.)

How about "I refuse to answer this question on the grounds that every other word is misspelled?" as an option? I gave up at 50 or so.
