In-depth Political Scale Test

[Roy]

In search of a more accurate political test I instantly came across this site;

https://www.politiscales.net/en_US/

Rather than an axis it rates you among 8 different scales that broadly encompass most political stances you could take in a modern society. It has a whopping 117 questions so it will really map out where you're at! Grab a coffee or tea, take the test as honestly as you can, and share your results!

Here's mine;

My additional traits (weren't in screenshot) were;

Pragmatism: Politics objectively boil down to looking at where the problems are and trying to solve them according to the means available.

Veganism: Human beings must stop at all costs the consumption and exploitation of “sensible” being.

Notes: I'm pretty balanced overall, I think this test accurately mapped me. I like the "constructivism vs essentialism" scale, it asks some tough questions about identity that apply to today's modern social conversation. I feel I lean a bit more towards rehabilitative justice than what the questions led on. I don't think they should be using "communism" as the label for being economically left. Communism and socialism are not the same thing lol, don't know how people keep fucking that up. I'm surprised by my result on  "regulationsim vs Laissez-faire", I believe I'm more of an idealist than pragmatist on this regard. I also got a nice looking LGBT Scandinavian flag hehe!

Do you guys' think I'm too far the the economic left and need to integrate some market principles in order to be more politically conscious?

 

I think so but that's just my opinion. Realize there needs to be a certain degree of economic freedom or many people won't have incentive to create businesses and products, competition breeds innovation and development. A free market typically adapts to the needs of the people, which is generally a good thing. There just can't be too much freedom or devils will exploit others once they get powerful enough.

Governments aren't financial institutions, they are legal ones. It shouldn't be there job to control the economy, they should just watch over it and only interject when it's appropriate/needed. Environmental regulations for example.

Also: why do my results have a Scandinavian flag? What is that supposed to mean?

I think they just added the flags for fun.
