What is 8values?

8values is, in essence, a political quiz that attempts to assign percentages for eight different political values. You will be presented by a statement, and then you will answer with your opinion on the statement, from Strongly Agree to Strongly Disagree, with each answer slightly affecting your scores. At the end of the quiz, your answers will be compared to the maximum possible for each value, thus giving you a percentage. Answer honestly!

What are the eight values?

There are four independent axes - Economic, Diplomatic, State, and Society - and each has two opposing values assigned to them. They are:

Equality (Economic)

Those with higher Equality scores believe the economy should distribute value evenly among the populace. They tend to support progressive tax codes, social programs, and at high values, socialism.

Markets (Economic)

Those with higher Market scores believe the economy should be focused on rapid growth. They tend to support lower taxes, privatization, deregulation, and at high values, laissez-faire capitalism.

Nation (Diplomatic)

Those with higher Nation scores are patriotic and nationalist. They often believe in an aggressive foreign policy, valuing the military, strength, sovereignty, and at high values, territorial expansion.

Globe (Diplomatic)

Those with higher Globe scores are cosmopolitan and globalist. They often believe in a peaceful foreign policy, emphasizing diplomacy, cooperation, integration, and at high values, a world government.

Liberty (State)

Those with higher Liberty scores believe in strong civil liberties. They tend to support democracy and oppose state intervention in personal lives. Note that this refers to civil liberties, not economic liberties.

Authority (State)

Those with higher Authority scores believe in strong state power. They tend to support state intervention in personal lives, government surveillance, and at high values, censorship or autocracy.

Tradition (Society)

Those with higher Tradition scores believe in traditional values and strict adherence to a moral code. Though not always, they are usually religious, and support the status quo or the status quo ante.

Progress (Society)

Those with higher Progress scores believe in social change and rationality. Though not always, they are usually secular or atheist, and support environmental action and scientific or technological research.

Also friendly reminder to everyone, to not let the thread get too spam-heavy. It's already getting to be like something that just as well should be in Misc, but imma trust y'all to not let the thread get too spammy from here onward. If the intent was to post this in Misc from the beginning, then I can move it no problemo.

If you want, I'm really not bothered either way.

[Northern Sage]

I trust you will have good use out of this.

I'm not gonna move it just yet, since this really can get some interesting discussion going. Just gonna be keeping an eye on it is all. It'll either stay here, or move to Misc or potentially Debates based on how it develops.

Image was broken:

Moderate Conservatism:

Economic: Market bias 67%

Diplomatic: Balanced, nation 53%

Civil Axis: Moderate, liberty 52%

Societal: Neutral, tradition 54%

 

I disagree with this, I should be more Libertarian focused than this, but I had a lot of 'unsures/don't know' because of disagreement with the way the questions were worded. I might try again with less reservation.

I'm leaning left, and that's horrible. The worst thing imaginable. Worse than any crime any man, woman, or child can commit.

[Delibirb]

I consider myself a centrist, so the title is a little annoying to me. But, the website does say that isn't as accurate as the axes. That said, I don't think there were enough questions to accurately display my centrality. Additionally:

I do blame the question phrasing for some of the skewing. Naturally of course, I am in favor of progress, but on a lot of the "traditional" questions for example, I answered neutral for one reason or another, as the wording of the question was not in a way that I could give a valid opinion one way or another. This was true for a number of the categories. But perhaps that is simply more evidence of my centrality.

These results align with what the younger generation was taught, very few of us like myself break out of the brainwashing implanted within us at an early age that there is a world we must care about before caring for our own needs as a people, and that democracy is the be all and end all of political systems.

Surely you cannot be talking about my results? I was very clear that the question phrasing affected my results, and I try to be objective and central in my political an economic opinions which actually hampered my axes accuracy.

gasp I'm incredibly neutral who knew

 

and maybe 3 were due to a lack of knowledge, as opposed to neutral

 

I'll echo the wording concerns, though

Alternatively perhaps you avoided one brainwashing just to fall into the brainwashing of another time
