The Dalai Lama would truthfully sit a bit higher up on the Authoritarian scale (wanting to re-establish the monastery upper class system the Chinese destroyed when they occupied Tibet), while Gandhi, probably sits a bit more to the right (on account of his hatred of black people in his time in South Africa).
About what I assumed. There were some questions I didn't really know about, though. That legalizing marajuana one especially. I am completely and utterly undecided on that one.

I can't think of any great leader that has a clean record. This isn't a good/ evil scale
I care much more about where candidates stand on issues, compared to how they identify themselves. Please, let's keep it to the test results, thank you! — TBD

Instead of sitting further right, wouldn't Gandhi actually sit a little further north because of that (since social views, such as racism, affect one's position on the "Authoritarian-Libertarian" line, rather than the "Left-Right" line)?

You're right. I was confused because "Left" and "Right" are much less descriptive than "Authoritarian" and Libertarian".
I should also point out that I felt horribly uninformed about some of those questions. I picked the answer that, going by my gut, I thought I'd prefer, but in several questions I found I don't really have a good enough knowledge of the subject matter to really make a solid choice.
I'd like to do it again with a better understanding of some of the topics addressed!
I used to have a blog link here. I'll put it back up when the blog has something to read.
