Meh, the test is stupid. I also don't understand the whole political thing. Like, we learn in school that conservative means you believe the federal government should have limited power while liberal means you think the government should have lots of power yet it's "conservatives" that want to ban same-sex marriage. Makes no sense. Also, based on my limited high school government class understanding I'd think I'd be extremely conservative yet the test puts me slightly left because I'm not Christian and I don't feel the need to shove my antiquated xenophobic views down everyone's throats.
The issue about little power = conservative is in regards to the economic aspect, which to my understanding should be the reflection of left/right as well.
If you are economically conservative, you believe that people should have as much right as possible to the earnings of their own labor, and despise government programs like social security or national health care that essential "steal from the rich to give to the poor." Since the natural state of capitalist economics is far more "right", that is, the result of competition-- "less economic intervention" (that is less government influence) = more conservative economic policy.
So in terms of economics, yes, more government intervention generally = more liberal. Odd, but there you go.
If you were to fall more to the right economically (like I do) than you would vote "strongly agree" to questions like "I believe charity is better than welfare" or strongly disagree against "International business should be for the sake of humanity and not international businesses."
I have little desire to push my own social/religious beliefs on others, but economically, I definitely fall extremely far to the right-- let me keep my own damn money. You go earn your own! Which is why I come in far to the right and libertarian.
The "authoritarian" conservatives are the ones who want to do the social-engineering, but if you believe in right-economics without a high degree of social intervention by the government, you'd probably fall right-libertarian like me.
