Political Aptitude

Political Aptitude
Has anyone ever taken that political compass test? I was just wondering, as atheists and theists alike, where everyone's political beliefs are. I don't intend for this to be a debate thread, more so just to see where everyone is politically and whether or not you agree with the tests assessment of your political standing.

I received a score of

Economic Left/Right: -7.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.74

From what I understand this makes me a sort of Libertarian Socialist. After reading a bit into the subject, I can't say I disagree with much of what is said about Libertarian Socialism.

Where do you stand? Do you agree with the tests results? Or do you think the questions are flawed? What do you guys think?
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.

It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.

Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll

Libertarian right for me, if I'm not mistaken. Check other threads on the matter, there are far too many already.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you

I tend to be a left leaning authoritarian, though close to the center on both.

I'm a southpoler, but only because I've lost faith in pretty much every system of governance Wink
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
