Economic Left/Right: 3.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.26
I think I scored liberal more because of my sance on abortion, and the one guilt question of "should handicapped people be allowed to reproduce." If I didn't have feelings I'd say no, but I caved in and said my underlying belief is the state shouldn't tell a person what to do to an extent, as with business.
And I think another question on that survey is bunk. The one saying "Should businesses have to be told how to protect the environment?"
I had done a case study on manufacturing plants/power plants in the south eastern states. And it spoke about how the federal government fine certain plants to modify their plants to emit less pollution which cost X amount, but in the short run and continuing after that saved the corporation multiples of the cost to modify the plant because it made the plants more efficient. So long story short protecting the environment doesn't hurt technology or the economy (even individual businesses). SO I got marked down by saying they "should" be kept in check.
