But you aren't being judged a 'liberatarian' as a libertarian socialist so that's just confused.

Sure but I cannot see how I'm a 'libertarian socialist' which is, in effect a socialist anarchist. I don't really have any anarchist tendencies - I'm much more conventional and conformist for that

I think it's in relation to the current general norms rather than any sort of absolute statement - you're more libertarian than is currently the norm, which isn't hard.

I came out as a Libertarian Socialist too (https://8values.github.io/results.html?e=77.6&d=75.6&g=67.1&s=81.2) - somewhat telling of the terminology used that my description comes from two of the axes that apparently don't represent my most extreme position ('Progressive').  Certainly, if someone were to ask where I stood on political issues, the economic elements are actually my least concern...

If you look at the results I think they are confusing libertarian with liberal, as libertarian isn't one of the 'values' but liberal is.

And as I mentioned earlier, we are looking at an instrument whose validation is for a particular political and social culture - which is not that of the United Kingdom (nor of western Europe generally).

It’s a bit strange to suggest that applying an adjective to a description and then claim that the adjective doesn’t apply.

Yup I agree - I think this is phrased in a largely US-centric manner.

That would be odd. Since I didn't do that but rather implied that the context mattered means I  am happy with that. Also you seem to have missed that moving a noun to an adjectival qualifier might have an effect.
