thanks!

anyway there it is and it makes sense, except I would have answered "Strongly agree" to the question, "Should surveys avoid unnecessarily dumb adverbs?"

Economic Left/Right: -7.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.46

curious what ppl answered to:

"A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system."

i disagreed, but more to register my queasiness at one-party states and less bc i was evaluating whether this was actually an advantage or not. it seems like sometimes it would be an advantage and sometimes it would be a terrible flaw.

i think its a coded version of "making the trains run on time" tbh

But the contradiction is that a one-party state wouldn't be a democratic political system.

like, i believe that democratic governments are the best governments. at the same time, i think that gridlock is a disadvantage of the democratic system despite its overall superiority, and that lack of gridlock maybe indeed be an advantage of one-party states

Otoh, when they cock things up, they do it quickly and often massively

yeah i think thats exactly the contrast theyre trying to make ie one party state vs democratic system xxpost

its pretty badly worded and i had to think about it a bit too

I am pretty sure the "coming to terms with the establishment is a sign of maturity" question was a trap

I loled at "the establishment" part.

Thus, I sometimes pine for a parliamentary system where conceivably a majority (or coalition) have a mandate to make a couple of discrete campaign promises happen instead of the endless oppostional back and forth of congress vs president and all the checks and balances of the US system but, otoh, those have often been useful, too.

I want a three-dimensional one that measures something like emotional maturity or how batshit crazy you are or how likely emotional grudges and fears or something are likely to make you miss shit that's right before your eyes. A lot of the dumber questions on the test seemed like questions for suckers.

seems to be a trend...here's mine:

ilxor token rightwingers are a sham ;_;

where's Roger Adultery when you need him

"A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system."

if you answered 'no' to this then i don't think you understood the question tbph

DJP, there aren't enough "do non-whites need to get off your lawn?" questions in this quiz to really get at the core of mr. wooden wang's political philosophy

Except that it can only be a disadvantage when it fails to slow down bad policy xp

Stupid zing making my syntax go funky

'progress' it's p much limited to the positive aspects

"A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system."

if you answered 'no' to this then i don't think you understood the question tbph

I answered 'yes' because it's objectively true but automatically gives you a point in the "authoritarian" grid.

My point is that you can disagree that such an advantage exists

http://www.politicalcompass.org/facebook/pcgraphpng.php?ec=-1.00&soc=-5.54

if there were an option for 'don't care' I would have clicked that for quite a few of the questions tbh

sure, it's fascism. but it's a happy fascism.

http://www.thedrunkenconservatives.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/liberal-fascism.gif

ya that's not the question toots

the question posited ease of legislation as an "advantage", i wd query the "advantage" in being able to fuck yr state up double quickly, even in terms of advantage to the one party. you might argue that, say, Hitler's authoritarianism was self-defeating.

in their chart of where "leaders" sit on this scale it's no surprise that people commanding vast power over resources and bureaucracy would tend toward the "authoritarian" end of things

that said i'm not real convinced by these axes

the question posited ease of progress as an advantage iiuic

i am in favour of convincing authoritarians with axes

ok i see re: progress but the question is logically flawed then

i'm not real convinced by these axes

Economic Left/Right: -6.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.92

a lot of the questions were dumb & like goole i didn't say "strongly" unless I really meant it

Hey emil.y, get off my square, that's my own private property

xp the question is def logically flawed yeah

Ha. I like the fact that the two Brightonians are the most left/liberal. But of course.

i was in the "won't answer most things 'strongly' camp"

I was too yet still everyone here manages to make me (and Ghandi) look like a fascist

there did need to be a neutral button

tbf ghandi was quite fascist

The wording needs to be tightened up. Also, fascism is different from totalitarianism, which is what Stalin/Lenin/mao/pol pot were.

My results were predictably deep in the lower-left quadrant, but it's still a false conception to try to put these things on gradients, or even two.

Yes

would love to see percentages of population that self-identify in the bottom left quadrant compared with actual voting choices

i also strongly agreed that it is a waste of time to rehabilitate some criminals

i also disagreed about there being no savage and civilized peoples because this is an ilx thread

...which puts right around Gandhi (and most of ilx) on their sample chart.

I was worried I'd get a graph with "Wild," "Gossipy," "Horserace," "Fiend," and a red dot right in the middle, but this seems within the normal range of all the other graphs.

http://www.politicalcompass.org/printablegraph?ec=-6.00&soc=-4.87

you mean "Discriminating," "Gossipy," "Horserace," "Fiend."

Economic Left/Right: -6.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.64

and

Economic Left/Right: -6.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.69

I've said this on a political board I read: these numbers are really dubious. If absolute neoliberalism is a +10 on the L/R axis and absolute collectivism is -10, then social democracy and a mixed economy (which I lean towards and not even that aggressively) should be dead centre. There's really no way I should place between -6 and -7 without being fairly committed to socialized banking and significant restrictions on private land ownership.

In general, my sense has been that everyone should add about 5 to their economic score and 2 to their social score.

Compared to Gandhi, I'm very comfortable with authority, hierarchy, and capitalism.

shoulda been a SB question

you are mr. wrong.

i got a guess but

kkvgz. I think our paths crossed on some other thread for having slightly rightist positions on something-or-other (gun rights? crime?). I still think of myself as a solid lefty though.

Here's a crazy thought: we're all in the lower left quandrant (I'm at -6, -6) because this is a test based on American ideas about the application of political thought, and the American political spectrum skews kinda hard right all the time. SO if you gave this test to a cross section of Americans, you'd get a fairly even distribution; introduce non-US dudes into the sample and have well-educated folks over-represented among the Americans, and everybody's gonna land in the lower left.

xp yep, i was right

TWU- tbh a lot of the questions were just plain .... dumb/insane?

That could be just my lefty perspective tbh

yes, that's absolutely correct, well done

Yeah, a lot of questions would be a no-brainer for the majority of UKers. Also some questions, as is standard in these things, were rather oddly worded.

thread of suggested statements for these tests

Jews did 9/11
Chinese ppl are the most disgusting savages
Jaime Spears lk intersting

Agree strongly, etc

thing about stuff being a 'no brainer' is that there's a chance always that ppl just aren't using, y'know, their brains

FITE

i am one hundred percent certain that issues on this "test" that play out as tiny differences between "slightly agree" and "slightly disagree" wd be raging balls of contentiousness if turned into ILX threads where people were talking them thru.

do it imo

ha not even; more like "slightly agree" and "strongly agree"

hard to choose which dumb question first. am almost certainly in big disagreement with most people voting strongly pro or con on most of them tho.

xp yeah i was gonna say there are lakes of vitriol between slightly and strongly :D

yeah, i get that a lot- 'your breath smells strongly of onions' 'no, it's only slightly, c'mere' etc

http://www.politicalcompass.org/facebook/pcgraphpng.php?ec=-4.38&soc=-5.95

(I voted Strongly Agree/Disagree only about a half-dozen times; I'm guessing I'd be further left if I'd used those options more.)

some of the questions (as attuned upthread) are hideous misleads anyway. Like for example, "people who are able to work and choose not to are not worthy of support from society".

Like, if on a base level you break that down to "people that choose not to or flat out refuse to work but are able-bodied shouldn't be able to sit back, relax, and collect welfare checks", well, on a base level I agree to that (although if they have kids, it would not be fair for them to be punished due to their deadbeat parent), but then my mind instantly went to "really, this question is merely voicing the base assumption by most right-wingers, assuming that people who 'have not' have not cuz they chose not to", so I went to disagree.

i really don't think quadrant analysis is fine-grained enough to represent people's political positions though.

now do tolstoy

tolstoy didn't work at all because too many of the questions were designed for 21c-american assumptions -- as far as the test is concerned, if you think sex outside of marriage is immoral (and leads to train suicide), you are an authoritarian, so devout christian anarchist tolstoy ends up:

http://www.politicalcompass.org/facebook/pcgraphpng.php?ec=-4.50&soc=-1.59

it was also hard to get across the whole point of tolstoy which is that most of the things he condemns are his best features

(i realize that anna's extramarital sex is also cheating and to us this seems like the relevant thing but i suspect even/especially for noted horndog lev tolstoy the extramarital part is v. important)

I'm fairly confident Tolstoy would endorse aiming drone rockets at errant women.

haha

scrolled to the end of this thread to post something; forgot abt it as i went 'noooo you fucks could potentially spoil AK for me as i've just got about a 1/4 of it left.'

oh yeah

A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system.

well yes, that is a significant advantage. it doesn't mean i want a one-party state, or think that it is good for the majority. so... i agree with the statement? these are worded awkwardly.

http://www.politicalcompass.org/facebook/pcgraphpng.php?ec=-8.25&soc=-6.00

xp i just agreed w/ that and assumed they knew what they were doing but yeah they probably didn't

sorry about AK! i had the ending of AK spoiled for me. but nabokov would say nobody can spoil anna's neck, or something.

ha its cool, once i noticed what i was looking out i freaked out before it could register. now i'll just never read back in this thread.

My problem with these casual website tests is that I can never sift through the ambiguities and nebulosities of their ill-designed questions sufficiently well to understand which of the many possible interpretations is the one the test designer intended. They all end up being tests of reading comprehension and it's the test-giver who generally fails that test, not me.

nebbulosities

No surprises here, been a left-wing anarchist ever since I started seriously getting into politics.

that's like being a republican in scandinavia right

Oh well.

I wonder if it would be possible to answer half the questions in the most extreme right-wing authoritarian manner possible and the other half in the most left-wing anarchist manner possible and end up rated as the perfect centrist.

tbh the majority are failed by the absence of a 'meh where's the remote' option

yeah i couldn't really see how you could get into the left top

of note: hillary clinton is more to the right of trump

Sanders/Corbyn def too far to the bottom left there. By the criteria they use, someone who believes in European-style social democracy should be dead centre on the left-right axis. The scale on this test always seems way off to me. Everyone ends up about 5 points to the left and 2 points to the bottom of where they should imo.

The world does not contain that many anarcho-syndicalists.

The social / economic axis of that dumb plot is reductive to the point of nonsense but it helps libertarians feel good because they get to be the opposite of Stalin

is it time we retook this test

after learning about Cambridge Analytica? you crazy?

Hmmm…
