Radical Moderate?

Andrew Sullivan pointed me to a link that's supposed to compare one with other Liberals and Conservatives to see just how liberal or conservative one is. Go here if interested. I leaned left on their questions, though I was more conservative than Conservatives on a few issues and more liberal than Liberals on others. I'm, apparently, whacko liberal on immigration, middle of the road on gun ownership, anti-authoritarian, but prize loyalty very highly. There were other things too, of course, but this is boring enough as it is.

What surprised me somewhat was their more general assessment in that, in the end, I'm more of a left-leaning moderate on the basics (see graph below). It seems like this invalidates their test somewhat. If I'm far left here and far right there, then I average a moderate? Whatever, it's a simple test. For your amusement:
