5 Dimensional Political Compass quiz

Post Reply New Topic

Whereas I am in fact an Objectivist, but the test has me as a:

Conservative Libertarian Non-Interventionist Cosmopolitan Progressive

Collectivism score: -50%
Authoritarianism score: -50%
Internationalism score: -33%
Tribalism score: -17%
Liberalism score: 50%

Kinda silly.

You are a: Socialist Libertarian Bleeding-Heart Libertine

Collectivism score: 50%
Authoritarianism score: -67%
Internationalism score: 0%
Tribalism score: -100%
Liberalism score: 100%

I conjecture that the results would have been quite different if the questions had adequately distinguished between "government" and "State," as well as "entities operating within an actually-free market" and "subsets of State (i.e. corporations) operating within a capitalistic market".

I consider myself a Mutualist.

I too like the Political Compass test (I'm Economic Left/Right: -5.00; Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.00 as of today, though I tend to wander around the green quadrant). Where it only plots results in two axes, the results are simpler to interpret.

I can also see the value in this five-axis test, as adding more specificity and granularity to the manner in which one's political identity is defined, results in a more-precise definition (the communicative utility of which is severely limited by the capacity of others to understand it - but a more-precise definition should be useful for understanding one's own beliefs in values, if nothing else.) But as I mentioned when posting my own five-axis results above, I think that this test could stand to introduce even further specificity / granularity (i.e. more variables in the scoring function / more axes in the resulting plot).

Here is what I got:

Eh, somewhat accurate I guess. I suppose I'm conservative, in the sense of the rules I want my community to operate under, and an anarchist because those rules are for my community, I don't have any desire to make your community follow them. I don't know what terms would be used to describe my position, of having small sovereign city states (communes, <40k population, because Monkeysphere) and a voluntarily funded court system with juristiction over all and a minimal law code (which amounts to, don't attack anyone, don't take their stuff, don't spread toxins in their environment), with anyone who has not comitted a global crime (the aforesaid minimal law code) free to take exile from their commune as their punishment, and communes juristiction being limited to within the city proper, with none of this claiming of the forest nearby and all the farms. Though farms and hamlets are free to affiliate themselves with a nearby commune, and free to disaffiliate as well...

Have I mentioned they'd be post scarcity, running whatever political system they wish?

Me, I would describe it as "apparently well-thought-out and reasonable-sounding." But you'd need an Asteroid M to keep the Homo inferiors in line with the program

A bit different from what I was expecting. Had some trouble with the precise nature of a few questions.
