5-dimensional political test


Rostere

Recommended Posts

 

 

I am surprised by how many people who have taken this test ended up as left-of-centre on "Collectivism". Might there be some sort of bias in the test?

 

Also, all Swedes who have taken the test this far have achieved -100% on "Tribalism". I guess that makes clear the point that the test was made with one culture in mind, other cultures might be off the charts on some of the scales.

 

Well from what i understand about Sweden, the self-hatred of the politicans atleast, is that there are no "swedes" to begin with. Just some barbarians and the rest is imported from other cultures. 

 

Stuff like that is political suicide most other countries.

Just like there are not any "Americans", right?

 

 

Are you surprised somehow that how the swedish intelligentia see themselves is different compared to in other countries? Just check the political climate in, well Czech Republic for example.

So far except Shady & Leferd all the Americans who have taken it have rung the libertarian or ant-government bell on at least one part of the test. It will be interesting to see if that trend continues. Maybe there is hope for us yet!

:lol:  Libertarian-Socialist. Now THATS a contradiction!

Nope. The word "libertarian" actually originates with a socialist when he was describing himself.

Objectivism is the one label up there I think really doesn't fit me, not believing in morality or purpose is a pretty big deal breaker.

Objectivism believe in morality and purpose. So, what are you talking about?

"Good thing I don't heal my characters or they'd be really hurt." Is not something I should ever be thinking.

Now that's a mouthful.

How did a libertarian get a 0 on liberalism?

 

Well, as Gorgon put it, there are a lot of questions where yes or no make poor answers. There is a lot of "It depends" in those questions.

 

I like this survey better:http://www.isidewith.com/ if you click "choose another stance" they give you all the "it depends" options and does a fair job of tallying them. The only problem is it is very US centric so the folks in Europe might not find it that interesting.

 

 

Parties you side with...

82% Green Party 

on foreign policy, social, environmental, and healthcare issues.

 

79% Democrats 

on environmental, healthcare, economic, and social issues.

 

69% Libertarians 

on immigration, foreign policy, and social issues.

 

59% Socialist 

on social, environmental, and foreign policy issues.

 

36% Republicans 

on immigration and environmental issues.

 

28% Constitution Party 

on immigration issues.

 

28% Conservative Party 

on immigration issues.

 

I'm guessing me siding with the Republicans on environmental issues was when I voted that private enterprise should be incentivised to develop clean energy.

You live in California. You might as well spit on a wildfire as vote for a Republican for all the good it will do there.

Hmm the other test would be:

 

66% Conservative Party 

on domestic policy, social, and environmental issues

 

62% Republicans

on economic, social, and environmental issues.

 

62% Libertarians
on economic, immigration, and healthcare issues.

 

59% Democrats

on domestic policy and immigration issues.

 

57% Constitution Party
on social and environmental issues.

 

43% Green Party

on domestic policy and healthcare issues.

 

6% Socialist

no major issues

 

Well I knew I am not a socialists and that each side has some merit on various problems, I guess there is just no party called "Common Sense". The problem is always with the extremists of either political view or simply some various retards spoutng some stupid BS.

These tests have about as much merit as your average 'purity test'. They're limited by the box the designer(s) of the test think in, and I've yet to see one that isn't done in the context of the indoctrinated perceptions of mass media and bought propaganda. Generally it's a polarized box, and thus generally serves to polarize. For anyone with a working brain the majority of the questions are not black and white issues, nor yes/no/maybes. Nor does a 'maybe' make you a 'centrist'. The issues they touch on more often than not have a great deal more complexity than the question encompasses, and/or they simply rely on a false perception that's perpetrated in the mass media that makes the question foundationless, irrational, or unreasonable in an informed and truly thinking mind.

Heh on that US one, I got Green (91%) on everything except environmental issues, where I was a Republican (pro offshore drilling, no subsidies for wind power, no subsidies for truck conversions did that I guess). I also got 88% Democrat and I'd never have picked that as an outsider looking in, couldn't see myself voting for either main US party, except perhaps to spite the other.
 

Also, all Swedes who have taken the test this far have achieved -100% on "Tribalism". I guess that makes clear the point that the test was made with one culture in mind, other cultures might be off the charts on some of the scales.

 

There's inevitably a big author/ question bias in these things. For example, Political Compass has me nowhere near any NZ political party (I'm way at the lower left) while the local version of VoteCompass has me pretty much spot on Labour. That is mainly due to better targeted questions on local issues and topics like capital gains tax and raising superannuation ages.

 

I don't like the idea of people taking these tests seriously though, precisely due to that bias. It'd be far too easy to either game them as a political party or for the authors to write them with a(n un)conscious bias to direct people towards one party or another.

I had a lot of maybe answers, probably a third.  On many of those I leaned one way, but not strongly enough to give a yes or a no.

My results from www.isidewith.com"

 

 

95%Democrats 

on environmental, social, healthcare, foreign policy, domestic policy, economic, immigration, and education issues.
92%Green Party 
on environmental, healthcare, social, foreign policy, domestic policy, immigration, and education issues.
83%Libertarians 
on healthcare, domestic policy, social, foreign policy, economic, and immigration issues.
63%Socialist 
on environmental issues.
37%Republicans 
on economic issues.
 

I guess I'm still a Democrat, even if I have lost all faith in the party.  The results are what I expected.  I'm liberal on environmental issues, conservative on fiscal issues, and moderate leaning liberal on the majority of other issues.

Well, these really are for entertainment purposes only. If anyone needs a quiz to tell them who they should vote for they really should do the world a favor and stay home on election day.

Interesting: fairly different from the previous attempt, where I missed half of the questions and didn't specify importance of the answers for any of them.
