I'd be interested to see what STWers score on the 8values quiz.

Usual thing, give your opinion on multi-choice questions and it attempts to describe your political view the closest match (general viewpoint, not party political). Only takes a couple of minutes.

https://8values.github.io/

For the record my distinctly woolly political views make me a "Democratic Socialist" apparently:

I wonder what it says about my political leanings that I saw "Question 1 of 70" and thought "bugger that."

I'm so politically radical that the script on the page was disabled. Take that, Fatcha!

I have been accused by several people from this parish of being a "leftie" a "hand-wringing apologist", "libtard", "left-tard" and my favourite which was "professionally offended" (I loved that one!).

Ditto. Though [url= https://8values.github.io/results.html?e=64.0&d=68.6&g=62.3&s=77.7 ]my score[/url] wasn't wildly different from the OP.

Struggled to answer a few of those TBH.

Yeah I generally hate being [i]"I don't know/Neutral"[/i] on these things, but a lot of the questions in there made me go [i]"Well it's just not that simple..."[/i]

Obviously designed for Americans 😉

Anyway, so far so predictable. You're all a bunch of virtue-signalling white-knight tree-hugging libtards.

Who'll be first to show their true colours?

I'm a centrist apparently. Does that mean I should be voting Lib Dems?

Some questions were a bit flawed. Very binary against very complex and multi-facetted issues.

Exactly. Good job we've never had to make that sort of decision when it really mattered...

There were a few where I thought, I don't understand the pros and cons of this question, I simply don't know enough about it to make an informed decision.

I don't think there is a political category for that.

84.1% socialist

68.8% liberal

I thought several of the questions were very loaded or difficult to give an answer to and however it's scored to end up with me as a (theoretical) liberal is complete nonsense. Oh hang on its aimed at Americans isn't it?

Socialist libertarian apparently.

And yes some of the questions are not necessarily answerable, but it is trying to reduce a complex problem to 4 axes and a label.

No great surprise. Agree with Bodgy though, some of the questions were very simplistic

So i tried two further times and it seems I'm unable to return a result other than liberal if i agree with the U.N. (in the current world of nation states) and the idea of world government. That's despite the fact my answers run along the lines of "the government should be allowed to prescribe everything you do". I guess a world wide dictatorship with no private business is pretty liberal.

Aborted after about a dozen stupid questions. Glad that I did reading the results that most who finished got. Totally meaningless.

To be fair it does say at the start that the Closest Match bit [i]"is a work in progress and is much less accurate than the values and axes, so don't take it too seriously."[/i]

I suspect that is especially true given the slightly Americanised slant to "liberal" and "socialism".

So it's really more about how you score on the axes.
