To be sure, I find it interesting that if you find out some people's view on one issue, you have an excellent forecast of other views, but that's not always the case. (E.g., I think that the trimester policy in Roe v Wade is fairly sound, which for most tends to predict support for affirmative action, which I oppose). You have some people who are fairly libertarian here who support mass transit. Etc. So I really don't like these broad brush approaches.

And that is the case. You can't generalize. While I am right leaning on some things, I am also left leaning on other things.
For example, on things like abortion. I am pro choice, even though I think it's "wrong". But that is probably because I do not like the idea of too much intrusion by government on people's personal lives (which I guess would be a right leaning position). While I think it is killing a baby to have an abortion, it's not my place to impose my views on others, nor do I think it's right for the government to impose that on people...so I am pro choice, which is generally a left leaning position.
I am also pro transit.
But then I am right leaning on other things when it comes to taxes, spending, etc, as well as government intrusion.
