Lol. Libertarian = rights that Democrats want + rights that Republicans want Authoritarian = not Libertarian, i.e., prohibit or restrict everything, including money and individual rights Political Compass http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_compass Links to two tests. The second one seems to be less accurate, or perhaps it's more European in values ... The first correctly placed me as a Libertarian and well into the region. The second almost placed me almost dead center which would be thoroughly centrist if it labeled the centrist region... This may have been because I selected select "Agree" and "Disagree" more frequently than "Strongly Agree" and "Strongly Disagree". So, you may need to answer somewhat emphatically to get good results. Some charts label Authoritarian as Totalitarian, and Libertarian as Individualism.
