8 Values Political Test

[Mushet]

I got Liberalism.

Since it seems the 8 Values Political Test is rapidly superseding the Political Compass on social media, I thought it would be fun to make a thread devoted to taking the test and posting our results here.

Basically, the test is rather similar to the Political Compass (even "borrowing" a number of questions from it), but ranks your stance on eight opposing values to match you to a political ideology, rather than just plotting you on a quadrant.

Here is mine:

In a "shocking" turn of events, I'm a Slight Nationalist-Centrist that leans left in terms of the Economy: https://8values.github.io/results.html? ... 0.4&s=50.2

I know why I'm leaning left - I believe that everyone should have access to quality education and that the industries that have to deal with the Tragedy of the Commons should be publicly owned. In terms of diplomatic - I'm leaning towards nationalism, because I believe that it is the president's duty to serve his nation's needs, not the World's.

Social Liberalism

This was what I got most recently:

Was both in a more idealistic mindset and also given different questions a few days ago:

A true, honest LIEberal, it'd seem. I'd like Diplomatic and Societal to be more to the middle, but I can't complain a lot otherwise.

Neoliberalism ftw, the freer the market, the freer the people. The only thing I'm disappointed with is that my capitalism score wasn't a pure 100%

I've never been marked as very progressive, but when that axis is measured against tradition that changes.

Libertarian. Not surprised. I used to be a left leaning Libertarian, but the reading 1984 by George Orwell has rocked my world. I may have to take it again.

George Orwell was a socialist, just saying

This is what I got.

Why would that move you away from left-libertarianism?
1984 was mainly against Totalitarianism in general regardless of spectrum.

Orwell was also a well known Democratic Socialist.

Seems legit.

I wonder how much in these tests where you live affects on responses on "diplomacy/military might" related questions, or if people answer to them pretending that they live in country which is powerful enough to aggressively throw military might around the globe, if they actually live in one of the smaller countries.

Yeah, that's kind of a major factor, I would imagine, in how you answer those kinds of things.

In general, the culture we grow up in probably helps to shape how we see these kinds of questions and if we see them as political and debatable or simply just a way of life.

[Cabra West]

Libertarian Socialism.

The one thing that surprised me when I was taking the test is how strongly I still feel about many of the questions. I had been under the impression that I had mellowed over the decades... but then again, it might just have been the way they were phrased.

Same issue as with all political tests, I found myself picking netural more often than not because the question contained more nuance than the answers allowed.

I completely found the same thing. Every second or third answer was neutral.

Libertarian, no surprise.

Surprised I got Liberalism, and according to the test, I am pretty even on most things.

[The Derpy Democratic Republic Of Herp]

I got what a lot of people got, Social Liberalism

[Nouveau Yathrib]

I'm starting to see a trend where everyone who leans towards Markets economically is also more Nationalist diplomacy-wise, but the reverse generally isn't true.

Libertarian Socialist. Pretty accurate. I like the last part, where it defines me as "revolutionary". Quite fitting.

[Major-Tom]

Social liberalism of sorts. Meh.

Social Liberalism is extremely accurate
