-7.62, -6.15... but the questions are so narrowly American, tied to the current political coordinates and culture. I see they have changed the questions since the last time (when I think I also had a similar outcome). I recognized that some questions are late additions - those related to homophobia and religion/education.

Generally, the human rights issues are thinly addressed - no mention of right to health, right to work, right to individual development. I'm not saying that all of these have reached their peaks in any known implementation of socialism (right to work was caricaturally morphed into "right to any stupid employment where we can forget about you"), but they were at least mentioned.
