8 values/9 axes political test

There are a couple of political quizzes that I've come across recently that give a lot more insight into your political values than the political compass test that we've had on the forum before, just curious where other people on OCUK stand. The full 9 axes has a lot of questions but you can do a shorter version of it.

Links to the test/quizes here:

My results.

Why do we group our beliefs?

Boredom mostly.

Yes, but going deeper than that? It is a way for followers to be controlled.

Followers of what? Who is controlling who?

Are you asking for specifics of a generalised theory? When applied to the topic at hand, politics, doesn't it become readily understandable?

I honestly have no idea what you're talking about, these political tests are just a fun way of finding out where abouts you are on the spectrums, there's nothing sinister about it. I think you're reading into it too much.

I'm surprised at how many centrists there are tbh, given what I see on this forum I kind of expected people to be much more one way or the other.

Two is not a trend. Regardless, lets take one question in particular, the one about universal healthcare.

In the US this would basically make you a communist in the eyes of the right-wing there, do you agree with this assessment?

Well for the universal healthcare question I answered neutral because I don't support the single payer model but I still got Libertarian.

This isn't a left/right questionnaire, that's kind of the whole point of it, it's looking at multiple axes.

Being on the left used to mean being liberal, now classical liberalism is considered to be on the right with socialists and regressives being on the left.
