Well, the thing is, just because you are prescribed to a certain area doesn't mean that you match 100% of your ideologies with people in the same area.

For example, there are a litany of social issues you may hold authoritarian views on, and others you are freer....Someone may feel the exact opposite way on every issue and score the same, simply because the compass does not try to hold one issue above the other (in some situations, AFAIK).

On most social issues, I would think that I am more authoritarian. But I am an atheist, and I believe that same-sex couples should have the same rights as traditional couples, and now suddenly I'm a libertarian >_>

Well, thats how it works. I'm a fundementalist Christian, and I'm in the same area of personal liberties you are. If you are within 1 point of '0' when it comes to personal liberties, it would mean that you have some authoritarian views, and some libertarian views. It doesn't mean your balls-deep into letting everyone do anything. I know in my own case, I'm pro-drugs (and other vices), but still strongly believe that the individual should stay away from such vices...Which tends to make me lean slightly towards libertarianism, but not extreme like some many of the respondents so far.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
