Overall, little change over the past year. A couple of axes moved a few points one way or another, but were otherwise stable. However, the obvious exception is the 15 point fall in pacifism. While I have always felt like my most moderate views are on the military, I have to assume a lot of this one-year fall can be attributed to the war in Ukraine and how its forced me to think about the role of the military in the modern world. I think this is less of a real change in how I view the important role the military plays and more a pull away from the military/pacifist dichotomy towards where I already stood (ie: skepticism in the ability of pacifism to effectuate change). As with the previous time, I took the full 216 question quiz.

6Foundations Test:

Estimated Ideology: Progressive Conservatism
https://politicaltests.github.io/6foundations/
https://politicaltests.github.io/6foundations/results.html?care=73.3&fairness=66.7&loyalty=43.3&authority=50.0&sanctity=53.3&liberty=60.0

Being called a conservative, even if it's a progressive conservative, is a new one for me. Even the graph shown seems to correlate highly with Progressivism in everything but "Sanctity." The only reason I can think of for why that score would be so high is because there are so few questions overall and I doubt that any of them have cross-axis influence. So, on a test with 36 questions, each value is based on only six. Swapping one answer from light agreement to light disagreement or vice-versa shifts the overall alignment by 7%.

January 27th, 2022 Update, 15 Months Later:

Are You a Democrat or a Republican?
Overall: Democrat / 97% (+2%)
Role of Government: 99% (+3%)
Economy & Jobs: 99% (+1%)
Values: 99% (+3%)
Defense & Foreign Policy: 85% (±0%)
Budget & Taxes: 94% (+4%)
Energy & Environment: 100% (±0%)
Civil Liberties: 100% (+3%)   
Immigration: 100% (±0%)
Healthcare: 97% (+8%)
Education: 100% (±0%)

I have basically the same criticisms of the quiz that I had last time - it's too limited and I find myself going far off the left-wing of the quiz. This does represent the highest overall score I've gotten on this quiz I've now done four times. The two most interesting changes were the +8% change to Healthcare and Defense & Foreign Policy staying at 85%. If I had to guess, the health care one probably represents small shifts in abortion views from a more neutral perspective to one of more clear support. As with at least the previous two times I took this quiz, I answered the questions either fully supporting, opposing, or leaving the slider exactly in the middle.

March 13th, 2023 Update, 14 Months Later:

Are You a Democrat or a Republican?
Overall: Democrat / 98% (+1%)
Role of Government: 100% (+1%)
Economy & Jobs: 100% (+1%)
Values: 100% (+1%)
Defense & Foreign Policy: 82% (-3%)
Budget & Taxes: 96% (+2%)
Energy & Environment: 100% (±0%)
Civil Liberties: 100% (±0%)
Immigration: 100% (±0%)
Healthcare: 100% (+2%)
Education: 100% (±0%)

Same as the prior three times I took this quiz, I either left the slider where it was or moved it all the way in either direction. I do wonder if that is something I've messed up in the past given that so many of the answers were at 99% before on a quiz with only 93 questions in total. As more time goes by the policy specifics of this quiz, made for the 2016 election, become more out of date, but it still is interesting to see how my views as represented by this simple quiz have changed. As with previous times, the standout is really "Defense & Foreign Policy." A 3% change in the Republican direction probably accounts for an actual change in an answer to at least one question, not just small corrections to previously misentered attempts.

I got the itch to take a political test again and decided to try out DozenValues because it's been over a year and I wanted to see how it's changed given it's regular updates. Overall, it's a good quiz, but the "Lister" for different ideologies seems way too broad. Last time I took this test, there were seven ideologies that I agreed with ≥95%. Now there are 82. But the test overall didn't overstay its welcome and the questions never felt confusing or worded in a way in which a third, unlisted choice would be more ideal.

The problem with seven-option political quizzes (strongly support, support, somewhat support, neutral, etc.) is that there will almost always be reasons to not go with the most extreme option in either direction. Five-option quizzes don't allow such middle-ground, which makes their results stand out a lot more than quizzes like this. If seven-option quizzes don't account for the two extreme choices being absolute answers that go off the traditional spectrum, they will often result in outcomes like this that understate where a person might lie.

"Progressivism"

It's hard to compare this test to itself given there is no standard axes on which to evaluate change, but there are noticeable changes across the measured areas, perhaps most clearly going from balanced on the Force/Peace axis to (barely) Force-aligned. The less quantifiable measures also show that shift, with the Civil Axis going from "Liberal" to "Lenient" and the Diplomatic Axis going from "Pacifist" to "Interventionist." This is in line with my 9Axes quiz results from early this year, which showed a 15 point change on the Militarist/Pacifist Axis (from Moderate-Pacifist to Neutral) between January 2022 and February 2023.

I really like the secondary axis on the questions asking if X is a "critical issue." I chose to interoperate that as "Is a candidate not sharing your view on this issue a dealbreaker?" However, I think there's a bit too much of a black box around how that checkbox functions. Ideally, it would just add additional weight to those questions, but I get the sense from my scores being middling-left that it just limits how far to either side of the axis you can go. I.E.: it is impossible to get a ±10 without labeling each issue as critically important. I could just be over-reading this, but the scores are definitely outliers when comparing this text to similar two-axes ones.

The Political Compass:
Economic Score: -7.38 (+0.87)
Social Score: -6.67 (-1.18)


As with a lot of these short, two axes tests, I would say this seems broadly accurate, but not the most interesting. There are so many different ideas packed into each of these lines that small changes across views end up all getting mixed together and conglomerated into a simple, minor change to economic or social scores. Generally, the changes here don't really show any major movement over the past year, which I suppose is about what I'd expect.

SapplyValues:
Left/Right Axis: -5.33
Auth/Lib Axis: 3.67

I've seen a lot of other folks take this as the more definitive basic political axes test. I have no prior attempts to compare this to, but the Authoritarian result is really far off from any of the other tests I've taken. It didn't feel like there were any trick questions, but I wonder why the calibration here is so different from almost everything else I've ever taken.

[Sorenroy]

Here is a short quiz that combines the right left scale with a globalism scale.

"You are 75% left, 50% globalist, placing you in the globalist left quadrant."

Visually, this is a bottom-tier test. And I think it's a missed opportunity that all the questions that relate to "locality" end at the national government tier. It really would've been neat to bring that down to a neighborhood/municipal level.

On a positive not, while the questions were not unique by themselves, I do appreciate localist/globalist being its own axis. Too many tests either set up international consideration as a diplomatic axis of questions or ignore it altogether. It's nice to see this put on its own scale.

I would've liked this test to be a set of questions in a larger test, but maybe that's getting to close to treading on 9Axes, which is one of the few tests with a dedicated globalist/isolationist axis itself.

I've been wanting to update these Fascist/Socialist quizzes for a while and compare the results to one-another and figured the best way to do so would be taking both tests in a single sitting.

Fascist Elements Test
Your fascist elements are low (26%).

Your fascist elements are low (27%). (+1%)
Corporatism: 60% (-25%)
Strongman Leader: 45% (+10%)

Rebirth Myth: 35% (±0%)
Denunciation of Enemies: 10% (-5%)
Tough-Mindedness: 5% (+5%)
Traditional Values: 30% (+25%)

Socialism Test:
Your agreement with socialism is high (76.67%).

Your agreement with socialism is high (64.17%). (-12.50%)
Collective Ownership: 35% (-25%)
Equity/Social Justice: 70% (-15%)
Planned Economy: 65% (-5%)
Socialized Profits: 85% (±0%)
Needs-oriented Production: 35% (-35%)
Welfare Programs: 95% (+5%)

I tried to come at both tests without over-accounting for the context in which the questions were being asked. Especially for the Fascist Elements quiz, I tried to put aside that the questions were being asked in the context of supporting traditionally authoritarian/fascist views and rather think of the questions from a more neutral framing. I'm sure that didn't work perfectly, but it was something I tried to keep in mind.

In the Fascist Elements test, it seems like everything roughly stayed around where it was before. The movement in both directions mostly canceled itself out, with the largest shifts being in Corporatism falling and Traditional Values rising. The changes in the Socialism Test are more interesting (to me). That 12.5% averaged drop is split in half, with the high-agreement values (like Welfare Programs and Socialized Profits) increasing slightly or staying flat while lower-agreement values (like Needs-oriented Production or Collective Ownership) completely cratered. After taking this test, I'm interested to come back later to some of the other more in-depth tests I've taken in the past (and especially EconValues) to see how they might have shifted as well.

I felt like going back and doing one of the simpler quizzes. While it measures less axes, it still is a 60 question test, which gives each individual spectrum a decent amount of nuance. Nothing spectacular here, but I actually appreciate throwing in some more non-political questions to shake things up and measure stuff a different way.

The biggest change was in the Lifestyle Axis, where "Woke" fell from 63.3% to a clean 50/50 split. I don't know if I'd personally describe myself as woke, but I certainly wouldn't call myself "traditional." All the other axes saw small movements. Gender remains basically unchanged, personality shifted away from "Normal" slightly - whatever that means, and politically I shifted somewhat away from the "Left-Wing." It's been almost 22 months since I last took this test, but I'm guessing that the shift on the political scale is one that has also been reflected by other tests on the role of the United States in international affairs: interventionism/isolationism/militarism/etc.

I was looking forward to taking this quiz again and was slightly disappointed that the "Closest Match" feature has not yet been added to the quiz. My only real problem, which is the same one I had when I first took the quiz 13 months ago, is that there are so many obvious questions that the results on some of these axes are heavily skewed. I know that the different political compass tests get a lot of flack for wording their questions in such a way as to overrepresent libertarian views, but I doubt any of them are as bad as asking if genocide is a legitimate tactic or some of the other questions in this quiz.

It's not necessarily something I'd want on every test, but the neutral middle-ground on PolitiScales is unique and appreciated. When I partially agree/disagree with something, that normally means some support for the opposite polarity, but this depiction makes it clear when that support is weaker than it otherwise would be. Another interesting way to show this would be to have both sides completely filled, but use a lighter color (like "lean" on election forecast maps) to show areas of non-full agreement.

I did find myself repeatedly questioning the assertions behind some of the statements (the question itself being flawed, whether I agreed or disagreed) and there was too much hedging language in the quiz. Qualifiers like "normally," "some of the time," "more often than not," etc. are not necessary in a quiz like this. I can build those qualifiers into my answers by choosing to only partially support or oppose those statements. In the statements themselves, they only serve to confuse my comprehension of the questions.

Separate from the quiz, it was hard to figure out which one of these I should take. Since the original quiz site went down, there are several other domains that seem to host it or modified versions of it. This seemed to be the most credible to the original PolitiScales, but I might go back and take another version later if I have the time to see what the differences are.

When I've seen other peoples' PolitiScales results, this "DBHQ Edition" has been the one major alternative I have seen used. It advertises itself as "a slightly modified version of PolitiScales," which I suppose could be accurate. But there is nothing on the site that says how it differs from the origional quiz and the questions (besides there being 116 instead of 117) don't stand out as significantly different either.

I didn't find myself questioning the assertions of the different quiz statements this time, but that might be more a factor of taking the regular PolitiScales test yesterday and already spending that time thinking through those same questions. And, while some of the results have significant differences (most noticeably 14 point increases in Constructionism and Rehabilitative justice), it's hard to tell whether that's slight changes in how I answered the questions or changes to the formula behind the quiz assessments themselves. I know for sure that I answered some of the questions differently than I did yesterday after taking a break and coming back less tired.

Ultimately, that's the problem. When I take one of these tests, the output is interesting, but thinking through my own thoughts on each individual statement feels much more personally revealing. And, if the questions are basically unchanged, I see no reason to go with the mysteriously "slightly modified" version over the original.

This felt like a fairly generic quiz, although I do appreciate the depth of the "Data" tab and being able to compare my results to other test takers as well as through the self-selected answers. Although I do with there were coordinate results so that it was more than a visual comparison of roughly where my dots were.

Even though the past year has been probably my most politically active, it has also felt the least testing of my views that I can remember. It feels like a lot of my more radical inclinations have been untested and, like a muscle, have receded due to lack of use. That does not mean I am a moderate in any sense, as reflected by the results of this most recent test, but it does show a fairly sizable drop on every access but Diplomatic. If I had to make a guess for a proactive reason for why the numbers have changed, I would suppose that it is in reaction to the war in Ukraine and China's most recent handling of Covid. The actions of these two authoritarian states were definitely in my head while taking the test.

Given that this is an election year, I wanted to try to take this test quarterly to see if there were any interesting fluctuations over the course of the year. I know I keep a closer focus on politics during presidential elections, so I figured it would be a good test to see if any ideological changes take place. So far, the only notable difference is the recovery of Equality on the Economic Axis. Although, even there, the gain is not enough to make up the loss from when I took it 14 months ago.

Overall, little change over the past year. A couple of axes moved a few points one way or another, but were otherwise stable. However, the obvious exception is the 15 point fall in pacifism. While I have always felt like my most moderate views are on the military, I have to assume a lot of this one-year fall can be attributed to the war in Ukraine and how its forced me to think about the role of the military in the modern world. I think this is less of a real change in how I view the important role the military plays and more a pull away from the military/pacifist dichotomy towards where I already stood (ie: skepticism in the ability of pacifism to effectuate change). As with the previous time, I took the full 216 question quiz.

14 month update. I lost internet and my computer couldn't connect to the server when I answered the last question, but it still generated a URL with these outcomes. The topline is the same (Libertarian Socialism), but there are some interesting details in the individual axes. The biggest is probably the 17 point swing on the Militarist/Pacifist outcome which, in some ways, does make sense. The last time I took the test, my mind was much more on the Russia/Ukraine war. And - while my views around that conflict have not changed - I think my overall view of the role of militaries have gone back to where they were before the war began. The next two are the Assimilationist/Multiculturalist axis (which went down by 11%, total of a 16% swing since 2022) and the Equality/Markets axis (which went down by 6%, total of 10% swing since 2022). Both of them are starting from extremely high values, so there's only really one direction for change, but it's not something I can really identify a reason for even though I answered all the questions honestly and my individual values must have adjusted since the prior time I took the test.

It's hard to even think about everything that's happened in the 19 months that have passed since I last took this quiz. Even the quiz itself has changed: the original domain died and this seems to be either a new hosting site or a remake of the quiz altogether. Interestingly, some axes have seen almost no change (Structure literally remaining the same down to the decimal place) while others have swung by double digits (Intervention completely reversing itself). As I said, 19 months feels out of reach politically, but my best guess is that many of these changes were from agree to disagree or vice versa that rested on weak convictions either way. I am not an economist and, while I like to think that my morals are strong and fairly inflexible, the paths to get there are not.

Another fairly bizarre (to me) outcome. Just as with the 9Axes quiz, the swing I took since the first time taking the test in 2021 has been nearly completely reversed. If you use the 2021 outcomes as the comparison point rather than the 2023 result, the biggest change was a 7.9% gain on the Intervention axis (balancing out a 28 point gain followed by a 20 point drop). The only axis that moved the same direction both times was Labor, which dropped all the way from 81.3% to (gasp) 76.6%.
