I don't think this test knows what Libertarian means.

It's not wrong. the meaning they're using is valid. it's just a bad choice because of the assumptions and shit that people take to it

Could you tell me what meaning they're using?

Because according to this quiz, a person who agrees with Government regulations being very necessary in the free market, that capitalism is okay, and raising taxes is Libertarian.

No, they're saying someone who agrees with those things is a libertarian socialist. Because compared to other socialists, they tend to emphasize liberty and freedom slightly more than equality, and they tend to be skeptical of the state as an instrument for distribution - they're more skeptical of governmental and state power, and they're more interested in non-state avenues for socialism, and comfortable with the idea that markets can have utility and be useful if properly arranged, and they're concerned with human rights and social freedoms and checks on governmental power in a more marked way than non-libertarian socialists.

Except it said I'm a social libertarian, so they aren't.

OK, that's probably just bad language to use

I can still see what they're driving at, and I would still argue that they're using it in a technically-correct way (because it's an accurate word to describe the kinds of concerns and viewpoints that I described above as distinguishing libertarian socialists from other socialists), but there's just no way anyone on earth is going to understand it that way when "libertarian" is the actual noun being used. it's just not the way the word is used in the US anymore.
