I like Bernie but also guns and military funding and various conservative shenanigans. COME AT ME, BRO. I'm also a Royalist, so there's that.

This is the buffet approach to politics. "Give me a little bit of everything you have."

The more and more people who take this survey, and get almost the exact same result... I mean, online text RP'ers are a specific demographic, but seriously. I'm thinking of doing this thread again, with a different, more thorough quiz, to see if we get different results.

I suspect you take any sampling of lower class or middle class westerners and give them this test they'll either end up left libertarian or right libertarian. Like, who wants a police state but the police, or people so wealthy they wouldn't exactly be posting on an RP forum?

@Jotunn Draugr@Vilageidiotx A lot of people on the Guild happen to share a similar political ideology from what i've seen. However, if you look in the Imigur Album you can see that my own result is on the far left and quite Authoritarian. That means different results are possible. As for a better test, i'm all for it.

Even the police don't want a police state.

Way too much paperwork.

Well, mostly is what I meant. You're bound to find people who subscribe to every ideology.

But yeh, this test is awkward. I suspect most people are probably better judges of their own political ideology than tests are.

This is pretty accurate because I'm a fairly moderate person that tends to lean to the left on a lot of issues, but I can be fairly conservative too.

In many ways I'm a political oddball because I only register with a party during the presidential cycle then I go right back to being an independent after my state's primary.

I just think it's best to think for yourself as a voter than listen to a party that tells you how to vote.

Let me tell you, I like a great deal of what the democrats stand for as a party, but when it comes to the hotbed issues like abortion and same-sex marriage, I side with the republicans.

Yeah, I'm interesting politically.

Some of these questions are literally retarded.

''Racial issues will never be resolved. It is human nature to prefer one's own race.''

This question has literally been proven in sociological and biological studies before. It's something called in and out group and favoritism for your in group. In groups are not limited to race however race is probably the biggest factor in it asides religion.

''It should be against the law to use hateful language toward another racial group.''

Define hateful? Is me calling a black person an asshole or calling black people assholes hateful? Or is it whenever you border on calling for violence against a group? Definitions are everything for such questions like these because what is hateful to me might not be hateful to you.

(PS: offense is always taken and never given so the concept of hateful is stupid to begin with)

''If our leader meets with our enemies, it makes us appear weak.''

That entirely depends on the context. If he meets with them and is a sack of flour in negotiations, then yes, it does make us appear weak. There's a difference in how the Dutch prime minister meets with people (weak) and how Putin meets with people (strong).

''Radio stations should be required to present balanced news coverage.''

I assume they mean that they should provide objective news, and not subjective to their own opinions or the opinions of their donators. But the way it's written is that they should be required to present ''balanced'' news which can be anything from the above to providing news about every country. It's stupid formulation.

''School science classes should teach intelligent design.''

I didn't know what intelligent design was and I don't really have an interest in it anyway so I don't know why they specifically chose this topic.

''Some people should not be allowed to reproduce.''

Define some people. Are we talking about mentally disabled people, in which case I'd vote ''strongly disagree'' or are we talking pedophiles and child murderers, in which case I'd vote strongly agree. Who the fuck wrote these questions.

''Laws should restrict abortion in all or most cases.''

This question probably takes the cake for me. I'm very pro-choice but also pro-life. I view abortion as a tool that should be available to everyone however, if you ask me, I'd never hire someone if I knew they had an abortion mostly because to me abortions scream 'I am too stupid to use protection, and I am to irresponsible to think about the serious effects of what I do.'

''It makes sense and is fair that some people make much more money than others.''

DEFINE! Who is more people? Some people? Who?

Criminals? No that's not fair.
Doctors that spend 20 years of their life studying and doing the shit-jobs before they make actual money? Fuck yes.

''Gay equality is a sign of progress.''

Stupid question insinuates that if you don't like gay equality then you are anti progress. I like gay equality, but do I see it as progress? No not really.

''We'd be better off if we could just lock up some of the people expressing radical political views, and keep them away from society.''

I would assume this question is asked from a perspective of democracy in which case I would disagree strongly. But assuming this question is from any other governance form, then I would agree strongly.



Dumbest result I've ever gotten. :/ I am actually right wing authoritarian. But I guess if this idiotic program says this is who I am..

I'll vote SP or PVDA next election.

Remember this pivots on American politics. As I said above, these things were being pimped by our Libertarians back in the day, usually as a way to hook conservatives into their camp. So yeh... they aren't the most well written.

I'd like to see how we'd all land on a political axis test built to suit the political environment of places like Taiwan for instance, where there's some more unique issues there that probably wouldn't show up in an American test such as this.

Or a general (if such a thing can exist) one for Europeans, and to have us Americans take it and see how we politically lean based on our answers to questions important to European politics.

In the end I did my own, after a god-awful number of years.



I don't have records on any previous ones.
