8values - What's your score, and do you think it's accurate?

[Nimbat Out Of Hell]

Spoiler: Sperging

I hate tests like these. Many questions have a lot of baggage, using language with attached meaning that a lot of people won't understand if they aren't already aware of them. Stuff like "We are first and foremost citizens of Earth", which on its face of it is obviously true, but is subversive anti-border rhetoric people might not be aware of if they haven't encountered it before. And this is generally the case for most of the questions.

Anyway, funny color bars

I had to google what that meant, as I'm dumb, and it seems about right.
Other political tests I've taken put me on the center-left.

Those were my results back in 2019.

Now:


I've been radicalized by the Kiwi Farms.

 

[Jinn in the phone]

Haven't done one of these in years. Distributist and Catholic Social teachings describes me fairly well though I never call myself one. 1. The Latins have not been sufficently humbled 2. Everyone I've met whose called themselves one is either a. Corny nut job or b. Massive homo. Hope it changes, I'd have voted for the American Solidarity Party but I forgot their candidates names at the booth.

Did the 9values and it felt too granular and weighted I think. Gave me left wing-populism on the long one and State Socialism on the short.

I like 9Axes more than 8values, it's still like almost a meme but it's less reductive.

I'm pretty much a Christian socialist, so the numbers add up. Like 8values, the questions are very ambiguously worded. Like it put me as a "globalist" because "human suffering here is as bad as human suffering there" is just correct, even when I think power should be extremely decentralized except for globally relevant efforts at environmental conservation. Like I said, all of these kinds of tests are extremely reductive.

We're similar but have enough differences to be fun opposing nations to play in a Paradox game.

It's interesting that it calls you theocratic socialist when your axis is more secular than not. I guess there are limited words for like a genuinely held set of moral convictions independent of religion, which is kind of a shame

I think it has to do with the government structure but at heart we're both Christian socialists. Glad you are here.

It's so over...

 

[ShittlerNiggler]

redid it since I became more authoritarian the last 2 years

8values calles me a nazi for doing the hecking unwholesome authority


9axes is more accurate


My biggest problem with 9axes is that it calles the opposite of authoritarianism democracy which makes no sense. Also I got "fanatical religious" despite answering like just a normal religous person. The religious statements are all very basic like "I believe in a higher power" and "My religion should be spread". I blame boomers not taking their religion seriously enough for this.

I took the 9values quizz, and this is the result:

I heavily dislike this system, even though I've already done this test.

There's always a "depends", or "do I have to assume that the creator of the test is implying X or not?", or "sure, but to what extent?", which completely reformulates the answer.

Not to mention the fact that in some cases "disagree" and "strongly disagree" makes literally no difference, but will still compute both differently.

Yeah. A lot of questions for me often can be answered as "I agree with your wording in theory, but this is a loaded question with a lot of baggage I disagree with", or vice versa. There's too many questions that either assume you understand the theory behind the question, or assume you're just gullible enough to agree with the phrasing and must also agree with its deeper meaning.

Damn, you go harder in the paint on civil liberties than the NKVD. I need someone like that as my right hand man during the revolution. You'll have plenty of counterrevolutionaries, wreckers and all around assholes to fill your workload.

It'd be my honor to grant you candidate membership in the Socialist Unity Party of KiwiFarms.

The "Authority" slider is certainly off, because at every given point of "Government spying on you", I clicked strongly disagree. I personally would have put it more as 40/60 or 45/55.

Fascism is a weird conclusion given it didn't really ask "fascist" questions, and given that they were a lot more socialist (economically) than the "Market" slider would suggest.

This is also pretty hilarious considering this:

Tried the 9axes version I saw some people try here. The result:


I find it interesting that this represented my feelings of "liberty v. gov power" much better than the 8values one (50/50 v. 28.1/71.9).

The religious slide is weird, because I pressed "neutral" on like 90% of the religious choices.

Distributism​

I don't know why my fed bar is so high. I consistently valued individual states over federal govt. Even at 216 questions there are far too many questions that make presumptions that invalidate or contradict my answers on other questions.

 

[Silence of the Troons]

8values

I don't know what the difference between democratic socialism and social democracy is. I'd say I lean social democrat economically (though I would never vote for the Social Democrats in my country, as they are one of the political parties that have been destroying it for the past two-three decades).

9axes

Federal/unitary: I pressed neutral on a lot of questions because I don't live in a federation and don't have any strong feelings about federalism.
Globalist/isolationist: I think that the isolationist axe should be slightly higher.

I agree with the rest.

Closest Match: Fascism​

I took the 8values one and it thought I was more free market than I am. This one I feel most accurately represents my values.

Granted these questions are kind of meh and you have to interpret what they are saying because the questions are based on a highly specific worldview etc.

No it got things right. The Federalism value is about whether you think the states should have more power the unity value is about increasing the size of the Federal Government. Words used to mean things before they were stretched for political gain and this test uses the correct definitions.

9Axes:

The religion bar is exaggerated because the test mixes up being religious and believing religion is good for society with being a theocrat. I also lean more globalist IRL but I think the UN (which the test asks about) is retarded in its current state. Otherwise it checks out.

8Values:

I'm not this much of a capitalist. I just think the government throwing money at things is a bandaid solution.

 

[Smashed & Slamed]

Turns out I was the libtard all along. As we all know neo liberalism is an isolationist, authoritarian, free market, slightly progressive ideology.

Let's do 8 values too.

This one is less retarded I guess.
