LIBERTARIAN
Libertarians support maximum liberty in both personal and economic matters. They advocate a much smaller government; one that is limited to protecting individuals from coercion and violence. Libertarians tend to embrace individual responsibility, oppose government bureaucracy and taxes, promote private charity, tolerate diverse lifestyles, support the free market, and defend civil liberties.
At least you're in my corner!According to that quiz, I've landed here on the spectrum:
As always, you're my evil twin.

The image is more about theory than practice. Libertarianism - The World's Smallest Political Quiz > Home has a quiz which maps what you believe into a different grid.
Liberals usually embrace freedom of choice in personal matters, but tend to support significant government control of the economy. They generally support a government-funded "safety net" to help the disadvantaged, and advocate strict regulation of business. Liberals tend to favor environmental regulations, defend civil liberties and free expression, support government action to promote equality, and tolerate diverse lifestyles.

The right: do it yourself, pull your socks up, toughen up princess, they are just words. Two sets of genitalia, two genders
The left: everyone is entitled to everything, racial politics are fine as long as you aren't white. Free speech is fine as long as we agree with what you are saying. Trigger warning, words hurt. Two sets of genitalia, 56 genders.

On the spectrum we can see it clear but when dealing with people there isn't always a clear winner between maybe and disagree vs maybe and agree.

I suspect the problem comes from the majority of people using themselves as the basis of comparison.
It's really supposed to be about big government vs small government. That's what they said when I was a kid. All the other stuff is made up racism for example are almost equal in both major parties, as is abortion.
