| out of all of the political tests on the internet this is by far my favourite one. this one actually seperates the authoritarian/libertarian axis from the progressive/conservative axis so it doesn't put everyone and their mom into the green corner like the og political compass does https://sapplyvalues.github.io/ here are my results:  post your results too besties |

It looks about right, though it probably isn’t 100% accurate due to some weirdly worded questions. Kinda surprised I wasn’t further left |
 |
Wow, I didn't expect it to put me that far on the right. I guess that makes sense since in other tests, being progressive automatically puts you on the left side of the spectrum, which is simply wrong. LiberTea Yay! |

| I guess I've started to mellow in my old age. |
 |
| I have not done a test like this for years. I went more up in the compass. |

| This test has less good questions than other tests. |

| Oh nice, another test, so why not do it again this time? xD And here is a link to my older test results from the other tests |
| Well as per usual nothing changed or did it? |

| Trash tier test. It's obvious a politically illiterate self proclaimed (right-)libertarian conservative made the test from the questions and they put progressive and conservative on the same spectrum on the right. Opposite of a progressive is a reactionary not a conservative. Opposite of a conservative is liberal but they both are liberal ideologies which completely excludes non liberal ideology so they are not total opposites but different sides to the same coin. Political spectrum tests like this are bad in general to begin with as it overly simplified things and pushes the false left right narrative and denies the authoritarianism of private businesses when given free reign. |

Looks reasonable. I also would categorize myself as middle-left. |
sewerslider said: honestly ur probably right but that doesn't change the fact that these tests are fun asf so... PolitiScale is better by design. It puts everything on it's own scale instead of using an axis. Still some flaws but better. https://dbhq.github.io/ Also Vote 1 for an axis test it actually puts you in specific ideologies. It's an Android app rather than a site. |
I don't believe in made up things. Direction terms are absurd, just as"progressive" is. |
RuneRem said: I don't believe in made up things. Direction terms are absurd, just as"progressive" is. Progressive basically just means using government policy to progress with a nudge or push. Though it's very vague because basically anything can be progressive as long as it's not reactionary which in itself is a relative term depending on the past of a country. So depends what you mean. |

So only untried policies can be progressive, so if something such as free water has been implemented in the past and ended, redoing that policy is reactionary. |
It's about what I'd expect. A centrist stance with more left-wing and progressive views. |

| Don't mind me, I'm just gonna dump these here for quick reference later. Political Compass and Nolan Chart are from 2021. |
| Well... I agree with the results obtained :P  |
| Such tests, frankess be, always end up with most quæstions simply being “it depends” and this one is no different. I quæstion the thoughtfulness of the man who answers such quæstions, to me it is indicative that he does not truly strategically think them through, but rather answers on some kind of gut feeling and tribalism. — There is simply not enough information to answer usually. The first one for me is “Homosexuality is against my values.”. — There is already so much wrong with this: firstly what does “homosexuality” here mean? does it mean two persons of the same sex engaging in sexual intercourse or does it mean the concept of a person who specifically cares that the sex of the persons he has such intercourse with is the same as his own. Then does it ask whether this is relative to “heterosexuality" or simply in the absolute sense, and does it ask me personally, whether I care about the sex of the persons I have such intercourse with, or whether I care for what others are doing in this regard or whether they have such interests in someone's sex. And what does “against my values” even mean? does that mean I see to have it banned or what? All I can say on this matter is that it greatly depends on a myriad of factors including the sex of the person involved. For instance I am much more sympathetic towards someone with a penis who claims he greatly favors being penetrated anally by another penis to anything else, than I am to someone who only wishes to penetrate male ani, but not female ones with his own penis, at which point I find his argument to have less merit since they are anatomically comparable. It depends on all such factors rather than simple “homosexuality” and the man who answers based on that alone is clearly speaking only in bourgeois political tribalism, and really did not think matters through much. |

 Is this for Americans politics ???????? |

I think that by progressive they simply mean liberal here. |
| @149597871 It actually put me on the lower left like every other test does. I just didnt feel it was worth posting from the questions themselves in phrasing and my dislike for how these kind of tests portray political ideology. I ran a few tests too. Clicking middle option on everything makes you dead centre as it should but clicking strongly agree on everything puts you slightly into the upper right quadrant which helps giveaway the ideology of the creator paired with how many anti government questions they made. A lot of people mistakenly think liberal and progressive are interchangable terms. Like how they think conservative is interchangable with traditionalist. Sure oftrn is the case but not always. |

A lot of people mistakenly think liberal and progressive are interchangable terms. Like how they think conservative is interchangable with traditionalist. Sure oftrn is the case but not always. Funny. I found this treasure somewhere on my hard drive back from time when CE was still alive. It is the most accurate political compass made so far. I just need to update it as the userbase has changed a bit since then. I don't think that is a very accurate way to spot a bias, though. I mean, agreeing with everything is not always supposed to put you in the center in the first place since some questions use a negative form, etc. But it is true that there were a lot of such questions. Yeah, I agree about the rest. |
| @149597871 I hope that's satire because too much for me to cover in one go about that image. A person who has certain views will more likely have less questions that question their own beliefs and less likely phrased from an opposing view with negatives like "doesn't"/"can't" added in because it's harder to word it that way and linguistically can be awkward so is just an afterthought. Nor will they likely ask questions on topics they have no opinion on so something nothing to do with their views will not shape the subtle resulting bias. The brain accepts statements as true automatically until the brain says otherwise which is part of why you more likely can see into a creators ideology with agreement instead of disagreement and how that results in a small bias on where it places people even before getting into the topic of questions being heavily geared to very limited topics. It's just what's most likely. It's not perfect but I just have that impression. The person who made the test is likely a right-libertarian or perhaps a neo reactionary but former is statistically more likely. Second id place my bets on is American conservative before I would a meme ideology like neo reactionary. |
| @traed Yeah, kind of. I made it as a joke for some bait thread, but couldn't post it as the thread was locked or deleted shortly after it was made. I see you have some issues with my judgement. How disappointing! I was listening to some TED talk the other day about the exact same thing you covered here, so I'm not going to argue, I guess. Personally, I almost never press the green options as I am far less likely to "strongly agree" with something than to "strongly disagree." I noticed that a lot of the liberal/conservative questions are rather softcore (like gay rights, trans people adopting kids, etc.) and everyone but perhaps extreme religious conservatives would likely not have a problem with them. I guess that's the reason almost everyone here is liberal/progressive according to the test. Wouldn't a conservative try put extremely exaggerated examples like "Do you believe there are 72 genders?" or "Should digital blackface be considered a hate crime?" and so on, where the majority will disagree and be labeled as conservative? Just a thought. Maybe there is a libertarian bias, though. |

| Ah damn, I blame the shift of the Overton Window. Yes, that's it. I hope I can still call myself a brunch liberal. I've grown too attached to that label by now to let it go. Everything else is too cheugy. Aw, Luchse has grown softer, going from a Pinochet look-alike to a Reagan look-alike, that's so cute. |
