Compare to Jim Hanson's results. It is good to know that I am on the "right" track.

There's a cure for that--read Two Ann Coulter books, and report back when you are done! 
I see you are slightly authoritarian. As mentioned earlier--this is an important change in the political landscape. In the 60s through the 80s, liberals were VERY anti-authoritarian, but neo-liberals have embraced more government control. The parties are reversing their traditional roles.
It is interesting--in viewing Liberal's combined graph, that participants on this Forum are evenly divided on liberal/conservative, but there is a BIG bias towards Libertarian thinking amongst this group.

Does this mean that there is still hope?

Yes--every time I get discouraged by partisan bickering in Washington, I see movement towards a Libertarian position in the country--LESS government controls, LESS intrusion into our lives, dissatisfaction with concentration of power in the hands of a few.
The TEST, however, is whether people have the guts to ACT on their feelings, to DEMAND that power be handed back to the people, and that government be held accountable.
People get the government they DEMAND--and consequently, the government they DESERVE.

I don't think these questions are refined enough to be accurate.

Geo--how about throwing your chart link up there, so Liberal can include it in his composite graph? Interesting to see where most Forum members fall--either side of the political spectrum, but definitely on the Libertarian side vs. Authoritarian.
Truckwriter94--reading the explanations and plaudits for the site, it wasn't developed by amateurs. I know what you mean, though--sometimes there are no "right" answers--and that is by design. They make you choose the "least wrong" answer--for example--the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Index makes you choose between "I am stupid" and "I am dishonest". It COULD be an attempt to see which trait--intelligence or honesty--that you value more--OR--I guess they want to see if you are honest enough to admit you're stupid!
