Their WSPQ (World's Shortest Political Quiz, linked through the bold text below) tells me I'm a Libertarian - Economic score 80, Personal score 90
The way The Advocates (for Self-Government) describe it:
The word “Libertarian” (Holding the Doctrine of Free Will; as opposed to the Statist's Doctrine of Big Government, the Left's Doctrine of Liberalism, the Right's Doctrine of Conservativism or the Centrist's (Moderate's) Doctrine of 'Pragmatism-over-Principle') is built on ancient words that mean Liberty (on the model of "Unitarian" ... opposed to "Necessitarian").

A libertarian is one who seeks to maximize human freedom and minimize coercion, whether in personal or economic matters. You advocate true “self-government,” that is a free people who organize themselves peacefully. Government, to the extent it exists at all, should be limited to protecting individuals from harm. Some libertarians think that private, voluntary institutions should replace coercive government monopolies. Otherwise, your type embraces individual responsibility, voluntary community, and private charity. You tolerate diverse lifestyles, as long as people don’t harm one another. You support the free exchange of goods, services and ideas and believe everyone is better off when left to pursue their idea of happiness.

Here in Oklahoma (American state where 'Libertarian Party' is a political-party on our election-ballots this year), 'Libertarian' (from a test I took years earlier than today) means ...
(in case that picture's text doesn't display) ... someone who supports
maximum liberty Personally & Economically; advocates Small Government that's limited to Protecting individuals from Coercion and Violence; hopes to be Individually Responsible; opposes government Bureaucracy & Taxes; promotes Private Charity; tolerates Diverse Lifestyles; supports the Free Market; and defends Civil Liberties.
When I took a test like the one above, the chart for my scores indicated that I think we should all 'follow the rules' in order to be peaceful, and keeping that in mind–and so-long as we don't harm-or-annoy anyone–ought to be free to 'do as we like.'
