I feel that this is ultimately the most accurate one. The other tests are quite shoddy.

"Hard-Pressed Skeptic" would make an excellent handle for someone. Keith Haring figure in a vice grip for the avatar. OR

The New York Times published some maps this morning showing how the popularity of a bunch of TV programs were very closely correlated with voting patterns in the recent election. — Bitter Crank

So, which shows did the libs like and which did the God fearing like?

This one was actually the absolute worst in my opinion... the questions were so biased, I couldn't even answer them properly. It's like being asked if I'm still beating my wife... One statement: "Individuals have the freedom to decide what they knowingly and voluntarily consume"... What am I supposed to say to that? Obviously the answer is yes, but the state must still restrict and combat drugs and other harmful substances, which the public, out of its own stupidity, would otherwise resort to. But clearly if I answer yes it puts me as a libertarian, which I'm clearly not...

I think the test knows you better than you know yourself.

Meaning?

Meaning, you lean more libertarian than you care to explicitly admit.

Maybe theoretically, but practically, most people would not consider me libertarian. For example thinking the state should prevent the population's access to drugs isn't libertarian. If I go to the libertarian party holding such views, I'd be thrown out :P

I am sure many of you have trouble interpreting the meaning of your result. This may help you with that inquiry:

That is just one point of divergence mate. The test asks 100 and averages it.

I haven't seen a lot of those points of divergence asked.

Ultimately, it depends on your personality (i.e. genetics). Haidt came with his moral foundations test, here are my results:



You can see that I tend to be closer to conservatives than liberals [1], regarding the foundations of my morality.

It reveals (to a certain extend) how you think and what personality you have.

[1] Liberals meaning progressives, leftist in this case, not liberalism in the classical sense.

Interesting. Based on the first test, I'm closest to BitterCrank - which isn't much of a surprise - and John. I'm ever so slightly to the right of them, and slightly more libertarian than John. I'm also more libertarian and further to the left of Wosret and Terrapin, who are in the same region on the chart as me, although only ever so slightly more libertarian than Terrapin.

I'm "water my weed plant and I'll share some bruh", but very close to "this molotov will inspire social change".

Last time I did it I was about the same as you for the first two tests, maybe a bit more libertarian.

I got bored with the other one.

Haha--so I'm kind of right on the edge of "Water my weed plant," "420" and "Average Citizen." That seems about right.

I thought you'd never ask. There is a lot of information; you'll have to peruse and find yourself on the map.

Duck Dynasty’ vs. ‘Modern Family’:50 Maps of the U.S. Cultural DivideBy JOSH KATZ DEC. 27, 2016

Americans have been clustering themselves into cultural bubbles just as they have clustered in political bubbles. Their TV preferences confirm that.

Last time I did it I was about the same as you for the first two tests, maybe a bit more libertarian. — jamalrob

Interesting. So me, you and Crank are on the same page.

I got bored with the other one. — jamalrob

I was determined to complete it, even though on my first attempt the webpage refreshed 40 questions into the test and I had to start from scratch. I left the page to look up eminent domain and civil asset forfeiture. Still not sure about my answer for that one. If, in the former, it's something like a hospital, then I'd be in favour. But if it's a third runway or a HS2, then I'd be against. And the latter seems a bit tricky too, but if in practice it mostly works as intended, I'd probably be in favour. Criminal organisations probably deserve to have their profits and assets confiscated - but the issue would be that they haven't been convicted as criminal.

So me, you and Crank are on the same page. — Sapientia

Interestingly, though, I seem to disagree with you and BC as much as agree.

I can't recall much that we have disagreed about politically other than in that discussion on abortion, where we were also in agreement. And I thought that our agreement was of greater significance.

I don't recall agreeing with you in that debate. I remember you as one of my main adversaries, hence why I called you a petit bourgeois reactionary lickspittle or whatever.

Interestingly, though, I seem to disagree with you and BC as much as agree. — jamalrob

Yes but you three certainly have more agreements between you, than you would with me for example.

That 0 score on purity is disgusting.

This was slightly more interesting - as can be seen I highly value Harm, Loyalty and Purity


Loyalty seems to be the "highest" for me and I think that's true. I would say that fairness is probably also above authority, just intuitively thinking about myself, but definitely below the others.

On that one, I had to answer a bunch of questions with "neither agree nor disagree," especially the economic questions. I don't know if I approached the quiz that consistently, because when I answer those sorts of questions, I'm always torn between approaching them from a stance of either:

(1) What I'd ideally do, which is trash our current socio-economic structure and replace it with an extremely idiosyncratic socialist-oriented but still libertarian-in-many-ways system, and approaching questions in this way, I tend to go with "neither agree nor disagree," because, for example, I wouldn't even have a tax system, but it would still be a system where the government provides all sorts of things--it's not like I'd have our present system just with no taxes, so questions about that stuff are kind of a moot point from this perspective,

or

(2) Answering from a perspective of "Well, under our present system I'd say x (but I wouldn't stick with our present system)"

That 0 score on purity is disgusting. — Agustino

And given a 0 purity score, of course I don't mind that it's disgusting, haha.

See, I said I'm not a purist.

>:O

Mine is 3.3 on Purity.

But it's disastrous - if you look at the number of liberals compared to conservatives, only 20% are conservative. We're losing, and we have to do something about it.

It could just be that a lot more people who identify as liberals decide to take the quiz.
