OK, Cupid, Politics Test

I took this test a while ago but didn't publish the results. It seems that a lot of my friends are now publishing results from it so I decided to follow suit.

You are a

Social Liberal
(66% permissive)

and an...

Economic Conservative
(81% permissive)

You are best described as a:

Libertarian

So far, I'm the only one in my quadrant. The test seems to be based on sound theory though, as it pinned me down nicely, right on ol' TJs shoulder. However, seeing that socialism is integral to several forms of fascism (ie, National Socialists), it seems odd that there should be such a wide gulf between them on the chart. I can see how it might work though.

edit: I believe that the 'totalitarian' section ought to be subdivided into 'authoritarian' and 'totalitarian' sections. I've always understood the term 'totalitarian' to refer to an extreme system which demands dedication of the whole self to the state. The 'totalitarian' section on the graph covers far more ground than that. I think that 'authoritarian' would be a better descriptor for those nearer the center of the graph.
