I was troubled by some of the questions as well, especially the race question. Also, some of the questions were not either/or questions to me. Anyway, it was a fun graphic. I thought it was interesting that I almost hit the bulls-eye. :-) This is the second time I took this test, and I came out with the same result both times.

Almost everyone I know who'se done it ends up at the bottom left corner (oh, not Bryan!). I think it has a good point about the inadequacy of the left/right axis on it's own, though. It could do with some way more sophisticated questions. Go on, finish the thing, see where you end up! I agree with you - I think it's composed with a bit of a left/libertarian bias.
