3. -5.13 / -5.13
Economic Left/Right: -5.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.13

I always think i'm going to score more moderate or libertarian on these tests, and it always surprises me. Smack dab in the middle of the libertarian left square.

22. I thought we were supposed
to become more conservative as we aged??? At least I have been told that all my life. Hmmmm, I guess I will never grow up. Really, if becoming conservative is the way you become who would want to?
