Economic Left/Right: -2.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.49

I landed pretty much exactly where I expected. I actually had to take this test a year and a half or so ago as part of an intro political science class, I remember being at around the same place in the authoritarian/libertarian scale, but back then I was much farther to the right economically. Before that (in high school) I was a socialist, now it appears I'm drifting back further off to the left since I've completed an economics degree and see some of the flaws in pure free-market thinking, along with how overly theoretical the academic study of economics is in the first place...
