8 Values Political Test

[Methodological Individualism]

https://8values.github.io/results.html? ... 6.9&s=85.3

Libertarian Socialist

...asserts that a society based on freedom and justice can be achieved through abolishing authoritarian institutions that control certain means of production and subordinate the majority to an owning class or political and economic elite. Libertarian socialists advocate for decentralized structures based on direct democracy and federal or confederal associations such as libertarian municipalism, citizens' assemblies, trade unions and workers' councils.

All of this is generally done within a general call for libertarian and voluntary human relationships through the identification, criticism and practical dismantling of illegitimate authority in all aspects of human life. As such libertarian socialism, within the larger socialist movement, seeks to distinguish itself both from Leninism/Bolshevism and from social democracy.

Hmm. I can live with that.

There are not many differences between my IC and OOC.

It guessed theocratic, I am amazed.

I may have posted on here before, but my results are different.

I have to say that taking this test pains me. It’s a bad test, even worse than political compass. 70 questions, very few of which are relevant or political. And it is skewed. Pretty sure I’m more libertarian socially and economically, more nationalist, more traditionalist, than that. The fourth axis is also useless. All these tests have this “sex outside marriage is immoral” question. That has no damn thing to do with politics. I could answer that “strongly agree” and be fine with it legally speaking. That is, in fact, true with me. While this is a good idea, this quiz needs to make its questions relevant

I disagree, the fourth dimension is pretty important because it captures a lot of the political polarization on societal and cultural issues observed within and between Western countries that the other axes don’t. I don’t think the morality of sex should be a political issue either, but the fact remains that it is for a lot of voters.

Slightly surprised by these results, but not much. I am proud to be fairly "balanced."

There are very few culture issues that are real issues that don’t fit on another axis

There are very few culture issues that are real issues that don’t fit on another axis

Tradition (Society)
Those with higher Tradition scores believe in traditional values and strict adherence to a moral code. Though not always, they are usually religious, and support the status quo or the status quo ante.

Progress (Society)
Those with higher Progress scores believe in social change and rationality. Though not always, they are usually secular or atheist, and support environmental action and scientific or technological research.

“Traditional values”, “strict moral code” vs “social change”, “rationality”
“Religious” vs “secular”, “athest”
“Status quo (ante)”
“Environmental action”
“Science and technology research”

Care to explain how these societal and cultural issues fit into the other axes? I don’t see what environmentalism or technological advancement or religion necessarily have to do with economic freedom, national identity, or government power.

“Strict moral code” is definitely an issue on the civil axis.

Environment and science are economic because of the funds and economic freedoms inherent to the issue

I found the questions oversimplified, like those push=polls you get at elections time.
The callers say they are conducting research but nope, they've got an agenda.

[Gaozu]

Basically this!

It's my leader's, but it's more-or-less mine as well.

I'm a revolutionary apparently!

[Vandario]

The above is the one I just took, if you want to see the first one I took its in my signature down below, hasn't really changed, seems they got rid of Fascism though and just call it "Autocracy" now, but whatever.

[New Chalcedon]

Social Liberal

Some of the questions were very slanted, though only a few. Overall, I'd have classed myself as more market-oriented (~40%, not the 30% it says I am) in that I believe that the correct response to most failures of the market is corrective action, not replacement by State fiat, but I think that's a result of the rightward tilt of current political thought.

Liberty (State)
Those with higher Liberty scores believe in strong civil liberties. They tend to support democracy and oppose state intervention in personal lives. Note that this refers to civil liberties, not economic liberties.
Authority (State)
Those with higher Authority scores believe in strong state power. They tend to support state intervention in personal lives, government surveillance, and at high values, censorship or autocracy.

Not when it has to do with religion or spirituality. Just because Statist views are often correlated with Traditional views doesn't mean they're one and the same.

Environment and science are economic because of the funds and economic freedoms inherent to the issue

Memes aside, I honestly think you're confusing correlation with causation again here. If you look at the source code for how the question responses affect your score, you'll find that most of the Societal questions don't affect your Economic score.

The questions on public education and environmental regulations actually do affect Economy, but the ideas of thinking about long-term sustainability and recognizing the threat that climate change (be it natural or man-made) poses to our way of life- which are probably more important in determining how environmentalist you are- are independent of any other factor.
