because on one hand you support social freedom but don't support economic freedom and support forcibly redistributing wealth among the population.

To be fair this doesn't really relate to anyone inside of an entire quadrant. I was fairly close to the line and I never answered anything remotely relating to redistributing wealth.

Let's keep in mind if you're in the bottom left you're a hypocrite.
what do you mean
Legislating morality as well as social or financial equality is incompatible with baseline libertarian stances.

Isn't the baseline libertarian philosophy just that individuals are the center of government concerns? Because that doesn't sound hypocritical to me.

And I'm not talking about liberals vs. conservatives. I mean just libertarian.

i'm not a libertarian anyway

collectivism > individualism

I don't quite get what you mean.

Libertarianism is basically "free markets and personal liberties: the party."

I dunno, we were talking about Libertarianism in my World Politics lecture and he just sort of generalized the political philosophy as centering around the needs and desires of individuals.

Yeah, wikipedia says something similar: "Libertarianism (Latin: liber, "free") is a political philosophy that upholds liberty as its principal objective. Libertarians seek to maximize autonomy and freedom of choice, emphasizing political freedom, voluntary association, and the primacy of individual judgment."

Yeah and economic intervention by the government would be violating that philosophy.

I didn't vote for anything like that and I'm still in the bottom left.

The quadrant uses the libertarian-authoritarian scale, with the very bottom being absolute anarchy and the top being absolute authoritarianism (tyranny). The economic left-right scale is collectivism and individualism, respectively.

Some of the questions (such as the corporations vs greater humanity one) give the implication that I'd use force to bring about my outcome, when in reality I wouldn't do anything in either situation. That goes for quite a few questions, especially the ones that ask if you'd favor legislation making x legal. Well, I don't think it should be illegal but I don't think a written law is necessary to decriminalize it.

What I'm trying to say is that I'd most likely be in the bottom right if I knew how to game the questions.

Pretty much what I expected. Every time I take this quiz I'm either skirting or on the line between libertarian and authoritarian.
