Default Two OKCupid Tests

These are two rather good political tests from OKCupid. The first one measures ones belief in negative and positive rights, the former being the right not to be subject to force or fraud and the latter the right to be provided with what one needs. These are my results:

LIBERTARIAN
83% Negative Rights and 8% Positive Rights
You scored high in negative rights and low in positive rights. This makes you a LIBERTARIAN. Your ideal government would allow total freedom for its citizens and provide little/nothing for them.

Your high score in negative rights means that you believe the individual has the right to be left alone, and this must be respected always.
Your low score in positive rights means that you do not believe the individual has a right to be provided with services/goods by the government.

WARNING: If your worldview combines negative and positive rights, it may be dangerously contradictory.

The second test likens one to a famous/infamous politician based on ones views (many of the questions are borrowed from the political compass website):

Winston Churchill
You scored 32 Authoritarian and 75 Right Wing!
You deserve a lot of respect. You are a right-wing conservative but not to such an extent that you will let it stop you from making the right decisions. You do not rule with a heavy-hand and still want to give the people as much freedom as possible under difficult circumstances. As other dictators wish to force their will on your country you firmly say no and defend our great land that is Great Britain...

Okay, that second test gives me far too generous a comparison, but the scores (32% authoritarian and 75% right-wing) are more or less accurate. I appreciate all replies. Thank you very much.
