5 Dimensional Policial Compass

[ZombieHorde]

This showed up in my Facebook feed, and I thought it was funny. Fun with labels!

30 questions. Yes means agree. No means disagree. Maybe means don't know or sometimes or whatever.

5. I had trouble with a lot of the items, for example

the one about the breakdown of the traditional family. On the one hand, if that means that gays should not marry or raise children, I strongly disagree. On the other hand, if one is thinking about the old AFDC policies that forced poor families to break up because there could be no men in the home, then I think the resulting breakdown of the family was a very destructive thing.

[Warpy]

7. Yeah, I had quite a few maybes on questions that were too broad or poorly stated.

[ZombieHorde]

13. Me too.

I interpreted the traditional family question to be about social conservatism.

[stevenleser]

31. Yep, I answered 9 maybes. The answers are just not that simple as "Yes" or "No" in many cases

Like many such tests, this one was clearly developed by a Libertarian that is an absolutist who sees everything as black and white, in particular, government being bad, multiculturalism being bad, etc.

[Jackpine Radical]

35. And further, little questionnaires like this are meaningless

if only because they have no real norms, no matching against known & identified groups, etc. I always feel kind of dumb for having participated.

[ZombieHorde]

15. Bwahaha!

Most anarchists are lefties/anti-capitalists. This new, conservative, anarcho-capitalist movement is just weird. They are pretty funny though. I enjoy reading their propaganda, but most of it just seems really silly to me.

But I would disagree with Communist.

[JHB]

32. And this quiz was written by who?

Just some guys?

Seems more like "fun with buzzwords" than a political compass.

About as useful as a "which Harry Potter character are you?" quiz. Less, actually. The HP one would have a bit more agreement on what the terms mean.

[stevenleser]

34. Yep, see my #31 above, definitely written by a Libertarian absolutist who thinks government is bad.

No question.

[ZombieHorde]

44. I don't know, that is why I said,

This showed up in my Facebook feed, and I thought it was funny. Fun with labels!

Seemed a little over the top, but made me laugh. I belong to both extreme left wing and extreme right wing Facebook groups, and I don't remember which one it showed up in. I don't think anyone should take it too seriously. I probably should have posted it in The Lounge.

[stevenleser]

33. One thing DUers seem to have in common are low tribalism scores (mine was -100)

I think that out of all of the outcomes, that one is probably most true. I think if you went to most rightwing sites globally, not just here, you would see +50 or above on tribalism.

I think tribalism is an attribute that necessarily leads one to many negative beliefs and actions.

[Alittleliberal]

42. It seems like a good percentage of these are all varities of each other.

Generally high collectivism and Liberalism. Low tribalism. Our main differences seem to be in the role and place of our country in world affairs. That and the control government should have over us as individuals.

[stevenleser]

36. My results:

You are a: Socialist Pro-Government Interventionist Bleeding-Heart Libertine

Collectivism score: 67%
Authoritarianism score: 33%
Internationalism score: 33%
Tribalism score: -100%
Liberalism score: 100%

I disagree with the Socialist part. I think whoever composed the test believes strict Laissez-Faire-ism is the only form of Capitalism that exists. They are wrong about that. In fact, strict Laissez-Faire-ism is virtually impossible. In any Capitalist system you are always going to have some form of Socio-Capitalism.

[lonestarnot]

37. I only answered 1 question and it described me as a central moderate or some such nonsense.

Gosh folks, maybe we should start a DU Communist group. I agree that this quiz had to have been written by a right winger, probably (but not necessarily) a libertarian one.
