Nope, I'm not a libertarian.
That surprises me, given your comments here.
Though given how you describe yourself as kind of straddling the line there, I suppose whether you describe yourself as "libertarian" or not might depend on how, when, and by whom you're asked.
Yep.
My model of you just broke, and I don't feel any less confused about the meaning of your comment. (My current hypothesis is that it was a joke/satire that I didn't recognize as such.)
My best guess is that it was a (not very good IMO) joke that can be expanded as follows: according to the study, libertarianism is correlated with being better at abstract, analytical reasoning; so since the article writeup has an unnoticed contradiction, the writer must not be a libertarian, according to the very study being described.
How would a journalist from say the New York Times describe your political views if he full had access to them?
