Can any one help me make complete sense of my political compass?

I would upload it but i have not posted 25.
Economic Left/Right: -8.22
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.5

Any help would be appreciated

Both scales range from -10 to 10.
-10 on the economic scale means you are a "left" wing, basically about the redistribution of income to reflect equality, against the free market and such. -10 on the social scale means you are for anarchy, against authority figures/governments etc... The social scale on the test also reflects social values such as how you value abortion rights and homosexual acceptance. (-10 means you are "pro-choice" and are cool with other sexualities).
Its been a while since I've done the compass, I wonder if I have changed any.

I honestly wouldn't give much credit to the scale, the questions are largely bogus and the multistage system is abused.

Yeah the system is pretty crap and tends to throw people into the libertarian left regardless of beliefs. A much better idea is to have a look around here and other politically orientated sites and find one system you believe in.

Really? I've been on non-politics related sites where people have come up with very right/authoritarian views.

Some time since I did it, but I was around -9,-9, and the most left-libertarian person I was aware of on the sites I was frequenting.

You fall short behind the perfect anarchists here (-10, -10) !

Never claimed to be absolutely perfect. It would be boring if I was as awesome as I'm ever going to get (which is pretty awesome I can tell you).
