I had to take the test twice, because my computer crashed before I could
respond with my first set of results. But it's pretty imprecise, since a lot
of the questions were so simplistic that I wavered between "agree" and
"disagree." (Though I understand why they didn't give me the waffle-room of
an "in the middle" position.)
For the record, I disagree on where they placed Margaret Thatcher. The
Faulklands War notwithstanding, she privatized a lot of the UK's utilities
and the like--to great effect. She's more libertarian than they remember.
Second-time results:
Economic Left/Right: 4.38
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.92
Basically, the first time I took the test I was a bit further to the
economic right, and not as far into libertarian territory--by about a square
each way. Not as close to the exact middle as Mike, but still damned close.

Boy, my bleeding heart/social freedom tendencies came out strong:
Economic Left/Right: -6.00
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.82
More taxes for the rich! more government spending! Keep the
government out of my personal life!
