I didn't understand a couple of questions fully. One of the questions was
"One day science will find a cure for homosexuality". That pretty much
forces an opinion on you that homosexuality is a "disease/problem". The
only thing you have to decide is whether there'll be a cure for it,
regardless of whether you think it *needs* a cure.

For some questions, I didn't really care either way. There should've been a
"Neutral" radio button.

But you wanted my score, so here it is:

Economic Left/Right: -0.50
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -2.15

Weird. I disagree with many of Gandhi's approaches, and I actually think
he, along with Nehru, screwed the country, but apparently, I'm close to his
position.

Regards,

Madhu
