49. Oh, that was a category from the test.

I didn't remember the names of the categories.
Without going back to re-read the test, I assume that I had some moderate answers but also some stronger answers on other issues that canceled each other out. On the different social issues I'm all over from left to right and everywhere in between, and appear to average out just left of center. But on the economic issues, I'm all over from left to far-left to farthest-left.
