Total Inefficiency Statistics
What it means: A high inefficiency score indicates a desire for policies that make people more unhappy than they could be otherwise.
Authoritarian
What it means: A high score under authoritarian indicates a desire for policies that inefficiently restrict the rights of individual
people, placing these rights under government control instead. The quiz taker believes that in many cases the government knows
better than individuals what is good for them.
Anarchic
What it means: A high score under anarchic indicates that the taker is probably a stereotypical extremist libertarian. He
believes that people ought to be inefficiently within their rights to perform certain actions, even if those actions make others worse
off without compensation. He has arbitrarily selected certain behaviors as unquestionable natural rights and the impact they have
on people who disagree is of no consequence.
The lower left corner indicates the highest efficiency. The arcs indicate progressively worse efficiency with the upper right corner
being the most inefficient possible based on the questions asked.
