New & improved political compass test. This time in 8 dimensions!

Quiz with 100 questions. Cool feature is being able to filter results by various demographics and also switch axes around.

Green dots are where they plot my results. Red dot is average.

What does it say about a sumbitch if he refuses to take political tests?

Radical anarchism would seem to fit.

As with most of these tests, the questions are not perfect and invite clarification.

Took the test, it would not allow me to click anything on the answer to question 100. Finally it did and took me back to the "begin test" screen.  F U Bolverk

I hit neutral on a lot because the questions were shit...maybe that's why it choked on my responses.

You may be wrong on everything else, but at least you aren't a primitivist.

How do you think that the questions feed into score that dimension.  Seems like a lot of them were loading around genetic manipulation. Those questions stood out as some of the worst. The ones that would seem to load on theocracy/secularism a close second.

I appear to be a socialists atheist monarchists who Straddles the conservative/progressive line.  
 

no wonder always tend to hate politicians.

I came off as slightly primitivist as well. I'm not saying that's wrong, but it is interesting considering I am a scientist by profession.

The question that I got most hung up on was the one that asked if I thought that normal people can be trusted to vote. I went with "Agree" but hesitated because I thought I should consider the current political climate rather than what I thought is generally true.

Yeah, think I went neutral on that one. The genetic manipulation centric questions struck me as really odd, so they stood out. I mean wtf are we talking about.  The interpretation range is broad. It is a basically useless question to pose to STEM people.

The science for science made me think of the awfulness that science research has brought us without the human element.

The center (in mosaic) are the green squares in the center, from what I can cipher.  

Aside from a few outliers, the results indicate that most have more in common ideologically than some think (and protest loudly).

Take the test. I am guessing primitivist. Prove me wrong.

+1 for the model (note the lack of green squares in the profile).

He used the tools of primitivists. That's a bad combo.

There were some on automation as well. I assume many supported regulating technology that might have pushed them into the primitivist category.
Bunch of fucking luddites.

I agree that the ones on technology/progress and secularism are the worst loaded questions. Hell yes I strongly object to pursuing technological advances at all costs, I took the question pretty literally and “at all costs” was the key phrase here keeping in mind some of the horrible things we’ve done in terms of research.  The theocracy stuff as well— I’d like clarification on what it means to respect religious traditions, as I think there’s a huge delta between “respect” (think EEO) and “enforce” (Taliban). And while I do think that supporting the banning of religious garb in public places is “secular”, saying it shouldn’t be isn’t theocratic— it’s just a standard interpretation of pretty standard human rights. Theocratic would be “religious garb should be enforced.” 
 

There were some other questions that really confuse issues. For instance, I think that all individuals (wealthy or not) should have the right to contribute to politics and that contributions should have a cap. I think corporations shouldn’t be able to at all. The question lumped individuals and corporations in together, so I had to strongly disagree since as written the question tramples all over some pretty fundamental rights of actual people.

What does "81% more tequila infused than the average filtered result"  mean?

[cactusflinthead 27,594]

The gmo questions bothered me too. No genetic modification at all? Wheat, corn, and anything else you put in your piehole has been modified for millenia. Good luck making your tacos with teosinte. 

The super rich can't give to campaigns?

How about some enforceable limits? And separate corps from individuals maybe?

I hit unsure/neutral to about ten or so.

Yea multiple questions had two or more factors that needn’t be considered together. The rich individuals/corporations one was one of the worst

I also found questions not linked to public policy positions unhelpful. Do you think religious schools indoctrinate kids?

That opinion tells me about your general attitude, but not politics. 
 

Try “should religious schools be legal/banned; receive public funding/not receive public funding”.
 

That would be a question about your politics. You can hate religious schools and not want to ban them and you can think they’re great but be against public funding.
