The term 'right' and 'left' in political context means something slightly different in each continent. A conservative European could easily be considered a Democrat for instance.
Also, many of the questions are too loaded and hypothetical to be answerable
no one chooses his or her country of birth, so it's foolish to be proud of it.
Thats not a conclusion now is it, You can be proud if you happen to live in a country with founding values that you consider worthy, but automatic pride, as in the sense of patriotism, which we find everywhere from Dictatorship to beacon of democracy....
military action that defies international law is sometimes justified.
It depends doesn't it, show me an example and I'll tell you whether it's justified, answering 'yes' should not automatically move me anywhere in the matrix, the devil is in the details.
controlling inflation is more important than controlling unemployment.
I don't feel that is an 'either - or' proposition, fiscal and monetary policy are tools used to reach an end goal of 5% unemployment, which is generally considered full employment, any less would create unsustainable wage increases and hurt the economy, but I can accept that my end goal is perhaps not the same as everyone else's. I would lean toward the controlling unemployment option.

astrology accurately explains many things
Yes, like how gullible some people are.
some people are naturally unlucky
Is this philosophy or more an option for people who refuse to believe in social Darwinism. Where is the 'how the hell should I know' option.
And here we go :
Economic Left/Right: -3.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.10.
I guess I can live with that.
It's my understanding that Liberal in the US is mostly used by Republicans to describe everything that is wrong with Democrats. It's certainly not the same as economic liberalism (free trade), or 'traditional' liberalism (individual rights)
