To score really high on this test you need to be an anarcho-capitalist... a rare (and i would argue idiotic) position to take.
There is a reason that we have government. I agree that it should be really small, but the anarcho capatalists want to do away with it.

Using the "anarcho capatalist" label is deceiving. It implies that the philosophy is more then simple anarchy. Anarcho capatalists propose anarchy, and then assume that capatalism will naturally fill all human needs. This is a possible assumption, but it is no more then that. Anarcho capitalism is functionaly nothing more then optamistic anarchy.

Anyone read "Jennifer Government" by Max Barry? It's a fun read. It's basically an anarcho capatalist state.
