    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.90

    Closest to Gandhi and the Dalai Lama

    No wonder so many of my friends are people I met outside of the U.S.! Looking at my score compared to that of our likely presidential choices leaves me a bit sad.

    Libertarian ftw. This sites compass for the libertarian/authoritarian aspect is incorrect though. It associates a number of choices as being authoritarian when they are not. it also confuses the meaning of libertarian; IE the questions asking what you feel about someones personal choice.

    I'm provably more "libertarian" than most people alive (im an anarcho capitalist for crying out loud), but the site associates much of that as being economic right and not social libertarian.

    For instance, this thread shows a bunch of leftists as being "libertarian". Leftism and libertarian philosophy are fundamentally opposed, even on most "social" issues.
