Why am I the only person with a positive number? What does this mean? I must confess I didn't read the huge explination at the end.

It means you're more authoritarian than libertarian.

I mean what does it really mean. I see the words and understand them but can't really apply a meaning to them.

There should be a "I don't care or no preference" answer for the questions, I felt like the data was skewed because I couldn't answer the questions accurately.
I figure I am completely liberal on social issues and my standing on economic issues will always depend on my current means.

Basicly, it means you might sacrifice certain liberties, a good example of that might be the TSA pattdowns, sacrificing a liberty(The right not to be groped) for a security(supposedly weeding out terrorists)

So what liberties am I sacrificing? I don't like the idea of that airport thing and it would be something I disagree with. Is there anymore examples? Maybe we can get to the bottom of this?

Not surprising.
Outlaw, how you answered the questions about religion, civil liberties, drug use, abortion and sexuality amongst others will have been what gave you a positive reading on the "Social Libertarian/Authoritarian" scale. Tell us how you feel about these things and I'll tell you why you got a positive reading.

Specifically, these questions which were part of the quiz.
Is it possible to be moral without being religious?
Are civil liberties are being excessively curbed in the name of counter-terrorism?
Should posession of marijuana for personal use be a criminal offense?
Should women have access to abortions regardless of their situation?
Is it possible to feel naturally homosexual?
