Your political compass (and other political quizzes)

[Master]

I took the Russian Revolution one:

It looks like I'm slightly on the right on this one, though I admit, I didn't wholly understand some of the historical questions.

Nice, I'll take it again when I get a chance. I've also uploaded the 2009 compass to our server so that it doesn't get lost.

Anyway, I did that thing. I got rid of the land-names and only included tests taken since yesterday since they're the most up-to-date. So, to anyone else, if you want to feature in the first post you'll have to take the test again!

Goddamit.

We're the exact opposites seemingly.

Done!

Eh, not quite.

I tried again and this time put a bit more thought and research behind my answers, though my result isn't too different:

My position actually barely changed since last year.

[PluMGMK]

Why does that surprise you?

I dunno, my English understanding became a lot better so I expected different results.

Add me back in there, Senator Bumholio!

Economic Left/Right: -4.0
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.33


I'm really surprised by the lack of hard Libertarians on RPC. Keane, RibShark and I are pretty much the only ones way down there.

[Hunchman801]

There you go:



(Economic Left/Right: 0.25, Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.46)

Very close to the center, but still in the region I expected (economic and social liberalism, Ron Paul-style).

That's August 2012. What about now?



Whoa... after 5 years.

Pretty sure you weren't in there before, but done!

Funny, I would have thought you way closer to the economic right.

[Hunchman801]

Funny, I would have thought you way closer to the economic right.

I actually think I am, but like I said earlier the questions weren't specific enough, which may lead me to agree, in principle, to some statements, without saying anything about the concrete measures I would favor.

I am probably around the center now. I thought I was left but actually I try to find understanding from both sides.

[Keane]

my political views align with the climax scene from mr bean's holiday where he puts the camcorder in, i think that was a good solid stance against corporatism

I came across another test some time ago, but somehow only got around to taking it now. A lot of the questions are fairly similar to the political compass, but they all have "Neutral" options. https://8values.github.io
My results: https://8values.github.io/results.html? ... 5.8&s=62.0

[LoveMetal]

I'm really fond of these little tests.

This one seems more 'moderate' in its results than the traditional political compass though. I expected to be more a conservative than a neo-liberal, so it might be designed for an US scale.

They're still shitty questions. I've gotten pretty sick and tired of these "little tests" that try and come off super dope and accurate, each one supposedly "less-biased" than the last yet completely removing necessary context and still choosing to include childishly unproductive social questions like "should gays marry?" which don't logically fit into any of the categories listed (unless it became 10values with a retarded:intelligent scale) (if it's equality:markets, juow the shit do "markets" benefit from homodiscrimination?), and as a result give pretty meaningless answers. Example:

"The freer the market, the freer the people"
Are we at war? Are we in good health? Are we in debt?

movement 2: the origin of faux centrism

do you believe government intervention on corporations for good of consumer?
> agree yea because otherwise monopolising megacorp life saveing medicine triple price?

do you believe free market? edited from original phrasing "the freer the market the freer the people" for being gay
> yea beacuse kind of some degree principle of democracy?

those are also virtually unanswerable questions without economic context

Sure, the questions are to-the-point, but that doesn't make their implications any less vague. I think a much more effective test would give you a series of scenarios and ask you what policies you would enact to achieve the best result.

Regardless, here are my shitty results:



i've said it before and i'll say it again because i like to see their 91% ethnically and culturally pure moustaches twitch: fuck france and nationalism
