If you check the survey results you will find that the large pluralality of less wrong types range from socialist / progressive / center left rather than libertarian.
Maybe that's what they self-identify as, but the non-explicitly-political results seem to usually more similar to libertarians.
The best explanation, I think, is that there's some subgroup of the population with certain psychological traits, and only a fraction of these people are libertarians, but most libertarians are these sorts of people.
