Where do you fall on this 4-axis political spectrum?

Check it and post screenshots. Find out where you fall on a 4 dimensional/axis political spectrum: Society, state, diplomatic, economic.

Similar to the liner one posted by dadadadada a while ago.

Centrist. I can't argue the results.

"Liberalism" -- whatever that means here. But practically the same as OTCW.

"Liberalism" as well (Centrist Balanced Moderate Progressive)

Likely because I was really jammin' on that Neutral option.

*Edit: I find it humorous that they carry the numbers out to the 0.1%... like it is so finely tuned.

Centralist, Dovish, Liberal, Progressive.

Social Liberalism. Whatever that means....

My farthest from center as on the Progressive one.

I answered neutral to many questions, particularly in the first half. Sometimes because I was actually neutral, often because "hell, I don't actually know", and others because of the structure of the question.

That's the standard "guy that's going to an expensive liberal college" results. :-D. Just kidding... mostly.

Centrist with slight lean towards capitalist, dovish, libertarian, and progressive.

Mine says Centrist, which is pretty funny since I've never been accused of being a moderate on anything. Seemingly contradicting positions must get averaged out in this quiz. I guess it doesn't know how to handle gun-toting environmentalists.

I'm not surprised by the labels, but I am surprised by the general balance. Usually, I score a corner of the graphs...

Another one for Social Libertarianism here.

I'm surprised I came out as progressive as I have, because lately I have noticed an internal swing in preference towards valuing localism and culture of place, I suspect that's more to do with my burgeoning ecological values rather than a desire for social cohesion and cultural elitism. I suppose there will always be room for traditionalists that don't stick to rules! :lol:

I use a hit counter for almos all my links. It gives number of people who click on the link. 69 clicks so far.

Social Libertarianism. Not surprising. Especially, considering my recent change of heart concerning healthcare.

I think equality and freedom are orthogonal to each other. There is limited quantity of rights to go around for everyone. You cannot fully exercise your rights without encroaching upon someone else's. Money is a good analogy. Equality means distributing this currency of rights equally, most of these will never be used, those few that are actually useful, they'll get distributed such that there's negligible quantity available. This distribution is of course, done by force, so not much (individual) liberty there.

IOW if everyone were to enjoy the same freedoms, that freedom would be very low. Eg. A Soviet work camp or gulags.

Similarly, more freedom means higher inequality.


Economic Axis: Market

31.4% equality
68.6% wealth

Diplomatic Axis: Hawkish

69.2% might
30.8% peace

Civil Axis: Moderate

43.8% liberty
56.2% authority

Societal Axis: Traditional

61.6% tradition
38.4% progress

Closest Match: Moderate Conservatism

I don't think tradition and progress are opposite to each other.
