A new method to measure the magnetization dependence of the viscosity in polarized liquid /sup 3/He is presented. The magnetization is obtained by ''brute force polarization'' at 45 mK in magnetic fields up to 11 T; it is subsequently destroyed by saturation of the NMR signal. Our result, a relative increase of the viscosity of (3 +- 1.5) x 10/sup -3/ at 3.9% polarization and a pressure of 30 bars, disagrees with a prediction based on the ''nearly metamagnetic'' model.
