I looked into your 10 "guiding principles." Let me make my own judgment (in red/italics) on those.
1. I am not a religious person (in the context of contemporary religions) Liberal
2. I do not care about any contemporary religion, which I think is the greatest man made hoax. Liberal
3. I believe in the human-religion. Liberal
4. I like to preserve my identity (i.e. practice Hindu culture) Nothing wrong with that although, you know, you will have to adjust yourself to the new environment that brings with it its own peculiar mix of cultures.
5. I am a conservative (based on the test criterion, mentioned before) If I remember correctly, most of them are moral and ethical issues and hence should not be used as criteria to measure liberalism or conservatism.
6. I believe in the freedom of choices (i.e., do not care about other people's way of life as long as they do not interferer with mine) Big time liberal.
7. I am not an extremist (i.e., follow take it or leave it principle; no intention of imposing my views on others) Liberal
8. I am a strong Nationalist (i.e., the country's interest comes first, then me or my community) You never face a dilemma! If not, you are 50:50.
9. I do not prejudge people (i.e, all people have talents until they prove otherwise) Liberal
10.I have respect for other people (i.e, follow: Do on to others as you want them to do on to you) Liberal

You passed the test of liberalism with an A
. Congratulations!
. Congratulations!It is really surprising that you are trying to promote Savage's Principle. Are you suffering from mental disorder? Are you mentally disoriented? I don't think so.
You don't support gay rights. That's a moral issue. Are you not ready even to examine their case with sympathy? If not, you have a tendency to be a conservative.
You are not a pro-life person. Is that a moral or ethical issue for you? Or is it a religious issue?
Do you agree that there should be campaigns against smoking and drugs? Will not the liberals be on your side? These are ethical issues.
Do you believe in creationism? Are you against teaching theory of evolution to the kids? If yes, you are a big time conservative and you may be termed as a fundamentalist.
