Ah, almost identical to me (and inverting the pattern Mike
Acree believed to have observed).

Economic Left/Right: -0.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.77

The questions did seem to warrant more than two dimensions of
analysis. It also bugged me that many of the questions that I
assume they counted toward economic liberty were actually
about *corporations*, which have little to do with economic
liberty as I see it. That is, a corporation making deals with
corrupt governments is hardly "libertarian", which is how a
lot of "globalization" turns out. And I also certainly don't
equate "right" with economic liberty.

I have yet to meet a multiple choice quiz that I didn't want to argue
or clarify some of the questions. In this case, I didn't even want to
bother trying. The questions don't seem to allow for the libertarian
stance of taking a position on some general sentiment, while staunchly
opposing government involvement in affecting it.
