https://8values.github.io/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!
In my opinion, it's a lot like the political compass, but more nuanced.
Here is my result:

(16,118 posts)but so many questions were dependent on several factors.
No nuance in the thing.

Libertarian Socialist, whatever that means.

Ideological matching is a work in progress, and is much less accurate than the values and axes.

And here I thought I was a Libertarian Socialist like Noam Chomsky! It's the rest of you who are "Commies" like him!

(60,010 posts)I marked neutral on at least 5 because "it all depends" was the logical amswer.
Interesting quiz...thanks.

(5,022 posts)but I don't totally remember. Looking at the eight values, I'm going to predict:
High equality
High global
High liberty
High progress
Will post results when I'm done.
ROFLMAO - wonder I didn't remember! Equality and global didn't appear in my results at all:
Communist
Cosmopolitan
Libertarian
Very Progressive
Libertarian Communist

(665 posts)Some of the questions I did not like. Tax churches like others... I don't like how the others are taxed so I would tax all differently but not given that option.

(3,414 posts)I always figured I was a Social Democrat. FDR is my favorite President, even though I was born years after he died.
