You can read the site, but for the lazy, he's it in a nutshell.
left = more business regulations (union support, monopoly busting, environmental regulations, etc.)
right = less business regulations (laissez-faire, free market)
libertarian = more social freedom (legalize drugs, guns, etc.)
authoritarian = less social freedom (heavier gun control, no drugs, prostitution, etc)
Note: just cause you're in one of these quadrants doesn't mean you HAVE to support the examples I listed.
Another thing neo-liberal/classic liberal = modern conservative = laissez-faire/free market. Liberal today = leftist (i.e. Prof Go)

Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.41
Basically im an authoritarian leftist, which is actually kind of odd by looking at Jog's description of an authoritarian. I agreed with abortion, premarital sex, and strongly agreed with the legalization of marijuana. O well, the left part still seems to fit. Screw business.

Errr, I'm pretty sure if you're negative on the Libertarian/Authoritarian scale, then you're more libertarian than authoritarian. Actually, IMO, I'd just call you a leftist, since you're not far from the middle of the Libertarian/Authoritarian scale.

Looks like I've rocked up to the Left Libertarian area, over with Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama - well, not quite that far... probably closer to Jean Chretien, tho I don't know who that person is. *opens Encarta*
