I think its crap because it completely ignores the inherrant authoritarianism of the left.

Economic Left/Right: -3.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.79

So... yeah... ok... whatever that means!
More to the left than the right... check!
More to the libertarian than authoritarian... check!

But not too much of any of them...
not a bad score, I think.

How is the left inherently authoritarian? If you mean the modern multiculti left than I would have to agree. But if you mean the historic left, that of Marx, than I would have to staunchly disagree.

Fixed it for you. Central planning is inherently authoritarian.

Find me one quote suggesting that the mature Marx supported centralized planning. The mature Marx supported decentralized democratic planning.

This is what I got:

Economic Left/Right: -4.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.82

Kind of surprised at the economic results as I thought i'd be more right, but I think some of the questions might be misleading or too parsimonious. But I guess that's the point of the test.
