I thought many of the questions were false dichotomies. But anyway, here's my score:

Economic Left/Right: -3.00
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -5.74

Simply put, no.

Many liberals in the European sense are quite conservative on social issues (e.g. same-sex marriages).

Simply put, yes.

Liberalism is an ideology centred around freedom. It's at the start of the 20th century that liberalism became mixed with social democratic tendencies.

Take the Free Democrats of Germany. They are a liberal party in the proper sense of the word since they have policies which enhance freedom.

Including being against the present USA war upon Iraq.

On second thought, forget it.

I simply got mixed between European and Canadian liberals.

Well here's my results:

Strangely enough, I'm quite happy with that.

Economic Left/Right: -0.88
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -4.15

I checked "Strongly disagree" on all the questions because they were dumb beyond belief.

It's going too far when you have couples blocking the path while having sex.
