[Valgora]

It honestly looks like there are more authoritarian capitalists than authoritarian socialists/communists.

Here are my results

This test is pretty

[Socialist Nordia]

https://8values.github.io/results.html? ... 7.3&s=97.2

Not a bad political test. I'm not an anarchist though.

My results,pretty accurate

[Kirislavia]

These tests always peg me as more of a libertarian than I think I am. Other than that, this is pretty spot-on.

[Hakons]

Moderate conservative Gotta keep that tradition rolling

[Maichuko]

That was interesting

Pretty nice quiz, still don't believe it but it's nice.

[The Alexandrian Polis]

https://8values.github.io/results.html? ... =71.9&s=88.

the only reason I got this result is because I was thinking as an idealist and not rationally. The Societal Axis and Economic Axis should be the most accurate.

Ye's but I believe socialism has a pretty hefty authoritarian steak baked in.

[San Marlindo]

Centrist, Balanced, Moderate, and (just barely) Traditional.

I get different results every time I take one of these things, so I generally take the results with a grain of salt.

[Athapaska]

It honestly looks like there are more authoritarian capitalists than authoritarian socialists/communists.

For now

[Salandriagado]

Generally left-lib, so right in the broad strokes, at least.

[Jelmatt]

I took it a second time (I thought I forgot to download the image but I found it) and shifted over a couple points barely into the "communist" section of economics, a bit more progressive societally, a tiny bit less pacifistic and more libertarian. Still well within the margin of error, though. So there's some variation in my views, I suppose.

I mean, I disagree, but I digress.

Haha, neither am I, but it labeled me "libertarian socialist," too. Most political tests do that, it seems.

Funny, your results seem to be to my left, but since you're a market socialist I was under the impression you'd be to my right, if only barely.

[Donut section]

Neo liberal. Whatever that means.

[Aclion]

Well it pegged me well enough, Though I think free market/state intervention would be more appropriate then wealth/equality, that's still not perfect though, thy seem to be trying to measure several different things with that axis.
I am glad we're moving away from single axis and double axis classifications. That was both inaccurate and more divisive then informative.

Vote Arctica-Aleutia for president in 2020! We'll break the country, but it's gonna be hilarious. And let's be honest, politics is in desperate need of some comic relief.

We have quite enough clowns as it is thank you very much.

They're trying to measure several different things because empirically support for public control over the economy and belief in economic equality are extremely highly correlated, and the same for their opposites. All axes measure several different things--the only thing that it comes down to is if knowing your position on one of those things is highly likely to predict your opinions on other issues.

To be fair though, this test does seem to be made by a left winger, but that doesn't seem to completely skewer the results like the political compass does.

Not sure if I agree with the results considering the type of questions, but interesting test nonetheless

[Vistora]

Holistically, it's definitely accurate in its diagnosis of me as a classical liberal, but there are a few notable points of criticism I have for it.

Firstly, it lacks a Nationalism/Nativism - Globalism/Cosmopolitanism spectrum, something I believe to be virtually indispensable to any political test relevant to modern times (you can imagine my frustration at having found so few who acknowledge this crucial dimension). As it stands, that axis appears to be lumped in with Might - Peace, which I believe to be a mistake, leading also into my second criticism.

The conflation of nationalism and militarism is common and understandably correlated, but also severely limiting. I happen to be both a radical globalist and extremely in favor of multilateral, usually humanitarian interventionism. For me, the two go hand-in-hand, which cannot really be expressed in this test, regrettably. The same is true for nationalist isolationists, of which I believe there are many, who are likewise disregarded by such a combining of metrics.

I would also prefer to have democracy separated from civil liberties, but they are slightly more difficult to extricate.

Other than that, I don't have any major complaints, and I like how it expands greatly upon the admittedly overrated Political Compass.

However, I do vaguely recall viewing a diagram showing somebody's results for a test with at up to nine axes, or at least no fewer than seven. I don't suppose anyone here is acquainted with some such test?

I agree with you on the nationalism<->cosmopolitanism axis. That is empirically one of the most important dimensions in politics, especially British politics (and maybe the rest of Europe, idk). Though with America, maybe less so, although the rise of Donald Trump has brought this dimension more into light.

As for splitting the liberty<->authority axis into libertarian<->statist and democratic<->autocratic axes, I don't think that's really necessary. They are highly correlated, and although there may certainly be liberal autocrats and restrictive democrats, support for democracy and support for civil liberties are very hard to separate. Most people who support one support the other. Exceptions are just that: exceptions.

The test I think you're thinking of is this one: http://politicaltest.net/en/, although it's currently not working.
