For the revolutionary france one:

Quote
Your Result: Girondin (80%)

You are aligned with the right wing of the Jacobin movement: you support a democratic constitution at home and patriotic war against oppressive kings abroad. You favor liberal principles of political economy and are sympathetic to the abolition of slavery. Your enemies to the left falsely accuse you of federalism, but you are wary of the excessive domination of Paris. You are skeptical of the Revolution's increasing radicalization and hope for cooler heads to prevail.

Feuillant (70%)
Montangard-Dantonist (63%)
Montangard-Robespierreist (54%)
Enrage (38%)
Montangard-Hebertist (35%)
Monarchien (31%)
Conspiracy of the Equals (30%)
Royalist Pur (23%)

For politicalc:

Quote
Your politicalc results: WKYH1M

Based on your results, we project that your voting tendencies are left-wing.

Your nearest ideological personas are Classical Liberal (39%), Libertarian (37%), Conservative (28%)

Your most dominant attributes are: Hawk (83%), Privatist (75%), Meritocratic (75%)

Ownership and Equality:

75% Privatist

75% Meritocratic

You believe in free markets, strong property rights and meritocracy. You think economic outcomes should be determined by talent, hard work and market forces - not government intervention. Policies should aim to equalize opportunities, not outcomes.

Society and Individuals:

61% Permissive

72% Individualist

You are a strong believer in personal freedom and the power of each individual to live their life to the fullest. You tend to have a healthy skepticism towards tradition, appeals to the past, or identity-based arguments. You fundamentally believe that society and the individuals comprising it flourish when people are free to experiment with different lifestyles and choices.

Political Psychology:

61% Trusting

75% Rational

You believe opinions and policy decisions should be based on evidence, facts and data - not prejudices or appeals to emotion. Expertise and scientific consensus should be relied upon. While imperfect, mainstream institutions aim to serve the public interest through impartial, rational decision making. Emotional appeals only polarize and mislead. Objective, evidence-based debate is the path to truth and progress.

Rules and Outcomes:

69% Pragmatic

67% Proceduralist

You evaluate politics and leaders based on outcomes, evidence and results - not ideological precepts. You dislike purity tests and ideological games. Strong, compentent institutions are what make or break a political system. Individual leaders come and go, and are mostly theater. You believe we need to design strong, capable institutions to drive results, relying more on experts like scientists, economists and judges.

International Relations:

61% Isolationist

83% Hawk

You believe that our country comes first, and that intervention with other countries' business rarely does any good. You are skeptical of military 'adventures' abroad, believing they often do more harm than good. However, strong security and defense are also top priorities, as perceived weakness provokes aggression. Force may be used preemptively or in self-defense. Alliances are good, but other countries should not meddle in our affairs.

Change and Consensus:

64% Gradual

69% Contrarian

You believe all voices and opinions need to be heard to build consensus and make progress, even if they challenge prevailing views. However, rapid change also threatens stability and trust. A diversity of thought within established political processes, not radical action outisde it, leads to enduring reform and social cohesion. Non-conformity stimulates debates, but consensus is necessary for change.

Only thing they got wrong imo is my voting tendencies, I tend to vote more right-wing. But everything else sounds about right.

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.

That quiz seems to be copying the aesthetic of that god-awful test personality test 16Personalities, so it makes sense that there would be 7 options.

USElectionAtlas Political Matrix:
Economic Score: -5.55 (-1.03)
Social Score: -5.22 (-1.39)

The Political Compass:
Economic Score: -8.25
Social Score: -5.49

USElectionAtlas Political Matrix:
Economic Score: -5.55 (±0.00)
Social Score: -5.91 (-0.69)

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
Prog/Con Axis: 7.81


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.

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.

I think that the culture scale is one of the factors at play here. So some questions that would give you points towards libertarianism on other quizzes instead give you points towards progressivism on this one. For comparison sake, here are the results I just got on each of these quizzes:

Political Matrix:
Economic score: +1.68
Social score: -4.7

Political Compass:
Economic Left/Right: 3.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.62

SapplyValues:
Left/Right: 3
Auth/Lib: 0
Prog/Con: 6.56

So while the shift wasn't quite as drastic for me, I was still much less libertarian on Sapply than the other ones.

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

You are 7.14% right, 75% globalist, placing you in the globalist right quadrant.

Globalist Right: Combines conservative and nationalist values with support for international trade, investment, and cooperation, advocating free-market policies and deregulation. This perspective is often associated with conservative and right-liberal movements that advocate economic growth and national prosperity through free trade and global investment, lower taxes, reduced regulation, and privatization of government services.

You are 28.58% left, 75% localist, placing you in the localist left quadrant.

Localist Left: Sees international harmonization as a tool of neoliberalism or global capital to increase their power and large corporations and the mega-wealthy as responsible for increased economic inequality and the erasure of traditional communities and cultures. Prioritizes economic equality and social justice within communities and may advocate policies such as increased progressive taxation, a higher minimum wage, and greater protections for workers and consumers.

It's interesting that we're exact opposites on the globalist scale.

About You

Based on your results, we project that your voting tendencies are centrist.

Your nearest ideological personas are Libertarian (35%), Socialist (32%), Progressive (28%)

Your most dominant attributes are: Conservative (83%), Individualist (81%), Dove (72%)

https://www.politicalc.com/share-results?shareid=FW6I4S

I'm surprised that my communitarian and contrarian sections were as low as it was, but then again the about me section was accurate so that made up for it.

64% Collectivist
50% Meritocratic
83% Conservative
81% Individualistic
53% Suspecting
67% Emotional
67% Pragmatic
69% Loyalist

What's wild about those results, is that you apparently scored higher on individualism than me. (I scored 72% individualistic vs. your score of 81% individualistic.)

"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.



Your fascist elements are low (27%). (+1%)
Corporatism: 60% (-25%)
Strongman Leader: 45% (+10%)
Militarism: 25% (+10%)
Dissident Suppression: 10% (-20%)
Natural Hierarchy: 15% (+5%)
Press and Speech Control: 35% (+5%)
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.

4 Axes Test:
Gender Axis: Male
 Male - 63.4%
Personality Axis: Normal
 Normal - 92.9%
Lifestyle Axis: Progressive
 Woke - 63.3%
Political Axis: Left-Wing
 Left-Wing - 84.0%


https://www.idrlabs.com/4-axes/test.php

Gender Axis: Male
 Male - 66.0% (+2.6%)
Personality Axis: Normal
 Normal - 84.7% (-8.2%)
Lifestyle Axis: Tied
 Traditional/Woke - 50%/50%
Political Axis: Left-Wing
 Left-Wing - 78.0% (-6.0%)

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.

Nation Axis: Moderately Anational
 Anationalism - 70.9%
Religion Axis: Laïcité
 Secular - 78.4%
Philosophy Axis: Constructivist
 Constructivism - 83.5%

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.
