[Agelastus]

Liberal Conservative. Close to my original guess. Eighty question test.

Most similar to Boris Johnson and Emmanuel Macron. Apparently.

[Zanza]

Got Social Democrat with similar values and matching politicians and countries as others here.

To test how my views have changed, I tried 30 question version based on what I recall was my thinking in my early 20s.

Liberal Conservative

Open to the world, cautious about the state. Markets and freedom, not culture wars.

Interesting - I did the same:

Technocrat
Evidence, expertise, and institutions — not populist instinct.

Closest to Hillary, Starmer (), Bill Clinton, Obama, Blair and Justin Trudeau. That description and change from Blairite to Lula feels about right and what I'd think/expect.

Somewhat boring result for me on the 80 question test, I am a Social Democrat 

Slightly left-wing, moderately libertarian, slightly pro-liberty, moderately globalist and moderately high trust 

Like my tea strong, but not too strong.

Closest country is Uruguay....finally an explanation for the Uruguayan spam I get in my emails!!!

Tricky that result looks similar to what I'd get, so I'll save myself the bother of doing the questionnaire and go with what you said.

So, I took the full test with my morning coffee.

Test: Deep Dive · 80 Qs
Closest Ideology: Social Democrat

Believes capitalism needs strong guardrails: a generous welfare state, regulated markets, and real protections for workers. Change happens through democratic institutions, not around them. This is the mainstream political tradition across most of Western Europe. Scandinavia, Germany's SPD, and the moderate wing of UK Labour are all in this territory.

 Economic: 72% Left-wing
 Social: 72% Libertarian
 Civil Liberties: 37% Pro-Liberty
 Governance: 47% Globalist
 System Trust: 37% High Trust

I tried to think of relevant issues in Norway/Europe when answering. I am not sure if I succeeded. I have some institutional trust in policing in Norway, but think the system is broken due to underfunding and cutting most of the local offices, for instance. However, some issues, like freedom of information, some basic trust in technocrats, a fair tax and the right to unionise seem rather universal. And they push me to the left. And, I suppose I am, and have been a leftie by American standards, but hell if Noam Chomsky is the one closest associated with my position. 

[Baron von Schtinkenbutt]

I scored as a Liberal Progressive.

I was hemming and hawing between that and Libertarian.  Apparently my economic views are just left enough to put me here.

I agree with what others said about the shortcomings of this test.  There were many questions where more nuance or context is required.  I think that's going to be an inherent problem with any test like this.  Some questions just can't be answered in isolation with a simple yest/no or ratings scale.

A test on a more primal/emotional level would be more useful, as the emotional response will be a holistic result of your political views, if you will. Some simple equipment measuring pulse, pupil dilation etc would do, and just measure results when you flash different images. Simple colors and shapes, pics of orderly marches and of disorderly demonstrations, various styles of facial hair etc.
