I took this test on the Internet called somelike a Vosem-chart locator.
Anyway, I got the result
1: New Labour  (100%)
2: Liberal  (97%)
3: Authoritarian  (79%)
4: Totalitarian  (79%)
5: Libertarian  (76%)
6: Anarcho-syndicalist  (73%)
7: Traditional Societies  (64%)
8: Conservative  (56%)

The problem is I e-mailed the guy who made about all of the Political terms and he didn't respond.
Does anyone know the difference between and Authoritarian and a Totalitarian?
What is the difference between "traditional Societies," and conservative?
And what is a Anarcho-syndicalist?  I know what an Anarchist is but not this.

The Vosem chart uses three axes, a social axis, a fiscal axis for issues of spending, and a corporate axis for issues of the rights of businesses on issues such as the environment and hiring and firing practices.  The positions of the ideologies is

Liberal-Liberal on all three axes
New Labour-Liberal on social and fiscal issues, conservative on corporate issues
Totalitarian-Liberal on fiscal and corporate issues, conservative on socail issues
Authoritarian-Liberal on fiscal issues, conservative on social and corporate issues
Anarcho-syndicalist-Liberal on social and corporate issues, conservative on fiscal issues
Libertarian-Liberal in social issues, conservative on fiscal and corporate issues
Traditional Societies-Liberal on corporate issues, conservative on social and fiscal issues
Conservative-conservative on all three axes.
