My property belongs to me and should be used how I see fit.

Utilities should be provided through private-sector efforts.

It is generally beneficial for corporations to be unregulated.

Labor unions are a waste of time and money.

Supporting those who are less fortunate than me is a good use of taxes.

Results:

Each of the four categories can be anywhere from 5 to 25. A higher number means you align more with that view. For example, "Authoritarian 25" and "Libertarian 10" would be very Authoritarian but not very Libertarian. If it seems like you have conflicting results (e.g. "Right 25" and "Left 25") then either you intentionally lied on some questions, or my test is not very good.

Authoritarian: ---

Libertarian: ---
