Libertarian is anti-govt intervention. Socially progressive is for govt intervention. They're kinda opposites.

Guess sticking a 3rd statist axis on there would of made it too hard to interpret

I think the stated intent (personal freedom) is probably similar, but what that means in practice is very different because libertarianism leans towards a rugged individualism (dog eat dog) whereas progressivism might claim to be for voluntary but collective action.

Socially progressive
Socially progressive in this context would mean wanting to progress away from the social norms of the, say, 1950s and towards a more gender equal society with plenty of tolerance towards gays, trans, immigrants etc. Having gay friends and dating someone from another ethnic group doesn't automatically make you favour govt intervention.

Libertarian favours personal freedom above all else, where else would you place it on a social scale?
