Here's the test: 8 Values

ECONOMIC
  • 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.
DIPLOMATIC
  • 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.
CIVIL
  • 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.
SOCIETAL
  • 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.
My results:

ECONOMIC: I got 69.2% Market
DIPLOMATIC: I was Balanced -- 51.1% Nation / 48.9% World
CIVIL: I got 73.8% Liberty
SOCIETAL: I got 60.5% Progressive

And my "closest match" was Libertarianism.

I must have some filter or something set to high, it just will not load. But looks interesting to try.

Well wouldn't pragmatist be somewhat of a centrist. To me pragmatist suggests one who looks at the total and comes up with an answer== taking a bit from the left and right.

My results:

ECONOMIC: I got 73.2% Market
DIPLOMATIC: I got 80.3% Nation
CIVIL: I got 60% Authority
SOCIETAL: I got 59.2% Tradition

And my "closest match" was Neo-Conservatism.

Many of these statements are very broad in nature and do not allow for individual context explanation. I gave myself ten seconds for each one. I consider myself a moderate conservative. I'm scared to see what some hard righties score.

Well, that's a load of bull.

I'd be embarrassed to admit what the result said. So I won't. Hey, that's what you get for trying to be honest. All I can say is... no way is that accurate. I'm offended by the name-calling that app targeted me with.

I scored Neo-Liberalism.

70% Economic/Markets
74% Diplomatic/Patriotic
53% Civil/Moderate
58% Societal/Neutral

I voted for Trump and usually vote for Republicans in national elections.

Economic axis: Centrist (51.8% Markets)
Diplomatic axis: Balanced (51.6% World)
Civil axis: Moderate (58.1% Liberty)
Societal axis: Progressive (62.8% Progress)

Closest match: Liberalism.

Pretty accurate for me.
