Find My Politics

[Josquius]

A site that has been floating about on social media lately.
Aiming to be a response to the massively flawed libertarian recruitment tool known as the political compass.

It's still super American. No nuance in the questions. Some are clearly asking about specific things going too far in America today rather than moderate possibilities.
Nonetheless I went in trying to avoid doing my usual thing and answering neutral it depends everywhere....
And...
Yeah. I can go with this.

I took the 80 question test:

[Duque de Bragança]

Another variant of the Procustes' bed Test school. 
Took the test and it gave me closest to Mitterrand.  Frankly, Sánchez? Portuguese PS-style corruption is already too much for me, but the PSOE king? 

Too US-centric as said by Josq, so what passes as left here in Europe can be centre-right or conservative here.
Most answers I gave were neutral, since questions were too linked to US issues.

The only true part is most different you since they gave the examples of Russia, North Korea and Iran.



I mean, Russia Centre ?

The issues do come off as a bit of a letdown, since their relevance aren't really fitting. And I had no problem becoming AOC, MLK and Nelson Mandela.

I'm a "liberal conservative", and yet I'm most like Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, and Hillary Clinton, and left on every measure except economics, where I'm dead center.   

I think the economic questions in particular indicate how hollowed out the pragmatic stance has become.  There haven't been too many questions where I felt like "default to market forces, but don't abdicate to them" stance was well represented.  A lot of other questions really needed the "agree with the principle, but question the premises as practiced" option.  Neither agreeing nor disagreeing would map accurately to the issue as it exists in the public debate.

Social Democrat, unsurprisingly. My scores are very similar to Syt's

Took the 80-question test. A lot of the questions I'd have answered with "well, depends on how you do it", but I instead went with the general principle of it.

Yeah, some questions had caveats ("if there is meaningful oversight and redress" ... yes, if that can be done, sure ), while others not so much.

Can't work out how to share a screenshot? Not sure how to share.

Edit: Cut and paste:

Closest Ideology: Progressive Left
Far Left

Thinks the problems in society are structural, not just policy failures. Wants significant government action on inequality, strong protections for civil and social rights, and is generally skeptical that existing institutions will fix things on their own. Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Jeremy Corbyn are recognizable examples.

On the traditional left-right scale, this is the left — the further-left end of it.

You are economically left-wing and socially moderate, and you have mixed trust in institutions. You balance national and global interests.

 Economic: 50% Left-wing
 Social: 16% Libertarian
 Civil Liberties: 28% Pro-Liberty
 Governance: 0% Nationalist
 System Trust: 3% Low Trust

Most similar historical figures in order are Lula, Willy Brandt, Mitterrand, Sanders, Olof Palme and Pedro Sanchez.
