Hey, all! I really enjoyed the last political quiz thread we had... a long time ago. What was neat about it was that it had a pretty consistent gimmick. I think it was Politiscales that time? It generated a neat flag for your ideology (it also gave you badges based on certain criteria). I've been thinking of making this thread for a while now, and even had a test run on the SocialistERA thread a few weeks (months?) back. See, this is one of my favorite quizzes I've encountered-- Political Sextant. What it does is, it has sixty ideologies on record, and has you run through questions to figure out which ideologies you match most and which you match least.
So what's so fun about this quiz? A lot of space is given to more exotic, and even extreme ideologies, some over a century old. This means that, in my experience, it'll typically hook you up with ideologies that you haven't heard of before, and sometimes you'll be a 100% match with (slightly) conflicting ideologies. It also suggests a reading/book for each ideology, meaning it can be a fun way to learn and discover more about ideologies you aren't familiar with. And help you to better discern who your political enemies are.
I've taken this test twice a year apart. The first time and the second time (today) are mostly similar in terms of likes (except I'm now also a Fourierist?), but my dislikes varied wildly. Except fuck Ronald Reagan in particular, I guess. I suppose I was in a "fuck centrists" mood that day last year and I'm a "fuck fascists" mood today.
So my present results are:
Classical Marxism: 100%
Anarcha-Feminism: 100%
Fourierism: 100%
Marxist Feminism: 100%
EDIT: Oh, and dislikes as well:
Clerical Fascism -58%
Fascism -50%
Integral Nationalism -50%
Paleoconservatism -70%
Anarcha-Feminism: 100%
Fourierism: 100%
Marxist Feminism: 100%
EDIT: Oh, and dislikes as well:
Clerical Fascism -58%
Fascism -50%
Integral Nationalism -50%
Paleoconservatism -70%
How well did your results match your beliefs? For me it's so-so. It clearly emphasizes my feminist outlook, which is heartening. I'd say I'm more anarchist than Marxist, but I guess that could be explained since I think maybe the quiz wants me to answer "disagree" for "states should" questions (when the answer for an anarchist would be states shouldn't, period), but since I live in a state at present I answered in regards to what I want states to do since they exist. I don't know how come Fourierism ends up being there this time, seeing as that's a pre-Marxist utopian socialist ideology, but I'm not gonna lie, I kinda like it. It may have to do with an interpretation of the religion questions (since I'm religious on a personal level but think states should be secular) yet that might not be the determining factor, since others have gotten Fourierism. I don't mind it, though. It's a historically significant ideology for me.
So, what say you, ERA? Share your results!
EDIT: Careful with the More Information links! Some of the original URLs appear to link to porn now.
EDIT2: I've since recovered the safe links from the More Information site. I've included them here. Some regrettable conclusions come to light, however.
