8 Values - political quiz

A few iffy questions for me...e.g. 29 "my religious values should be spread as much as possible". I don't have any religious values, so how can I answer that question accurately? I think that a lack of religious values should be spread as much as possible. There isn't an option for that, so any answer I give is inaccurate. Or how about the question about sacrificing some civil liberties to increase protection? Which civil liberties? What are civil liberties anyway? How much is some? I can't buy a gun from a supermarket, for example. That's a restriction of my civil liberties. Some people would say it's too much of a restriction. Other people would say that being monitored 24/7, with internet access restricted only to state-approved content and re-education camps for whoever the state decides to send there would not be too much of a restriction. The same answer to the same question could have wildly different meanings. Or "family values". What family values? The phrase doesn't really mean anything.

In short, what the writers of the questions interpret the answers to mean will not always be what the people answering the questions intended the answers to mean and so the results are at best very unreliable and at worst meaningless.

Having said that, I don't have any serious disagreement with the results for me. Split on all axes with the biggest difference being a 36.2%/63.8% split on the societal axis. Social balanced moderate progressive, closest match social liberalism. Which I'm fine with if they're using the old meaning of "liberalism" from back when liberalism was actually liberal and not the grotesquely corrupted fascist ideology it is today.

I'm slightly surprised to see myself slightly favouring World over Nation, but not at the rest.
 
My result doesn't suprise me.. i hate the far left, despise the far right.. am for progression in science, industry and trade, and very much a nationalist rather than globalist.

I often believe people are liberal purely due to a common mistrust of government, the fact is.. somone needs to look after the idiots of society, and the vast majority of the society are idiots..
 
The problem with these quizzes is that they're always from an American perspective, so their results are hopelessly biased because America is completely out of touch with reality. This is reflected in some of the questions, which are presented without any context or nuance.

This particular quiz describes drug crimes as 'victimless crimes', which is not only wrong, but pure insanity. Having said that, it was more accurate than most I've taken.

'Capitalist Fascism' for Chris Wilson was 100% accurate. :D

I thought describing drug use as a victimless crime was begging the question somewhat. I do think drug use should be decriminalised, but I also think dealing and the drug trade should continue to be cracked down on and drug users given help.

I agree with @Angilion about the religious question as well. I am a Christian so yes, I want my religion spread, but by me, not the government. Religious freedom is more important in modern society, so I should be free to spread my religion just as others should be free to ignore me. The government needs to enable that freedom, not back any one religion.
