This was fun. I'm all A on the personal box, but have a lot of "D's" in the economic box- I'm for a federal safety net, and I don't want taxes cut by 50% because I'm not sure they'd cut the correct things. I'm fine with ending corporate welfare though. I'm afraid I'm a copy of that. Not a bad test as these tests go.

That test is smaller than ideal. Smaller does mean quicker and easier, but only 10 questions with only three answers each (no "mildly agree" or "somewhat disagree".) isn't the best way to get an accurate response. Its shows me as being almost completely at the top corner, with just a bit of tilt to the left. More accurate would probably in the upper right part of the diagram. In addition to having too few questions the fact that "libertarian" outnumbers "liberal" and conservative" combined would seem to indicate some bias, although how much of the bias is built in to the test and how much is selection bias could be argued.
