Default Re: The Moral Matrix

I admit I'm fascinated by this quiz. The first time I went through it I answered quickly, based on my real life experiences of compromise and disillusionment with things-as-they-are.

This time, I responded based on my ideal view of society - how things should be, rather than how they are in reality. My results were quite different.

First quiz result:

You scored 3 on the Moral Order axis and 0.5 on the Moral Rules axis.

The following items best match your score:
-System: Authoritarianism
-Variation: Moderate Authoritarianism
-Ideologies: Social Republicanism



Second quiz result:

You scored 2 on the Moral Order axis and 6 on the Moral Rules axis.

The following items best match your score:
-System: Authoritarianism
-Variation: Economic Authoritarianism
-Ideologies: National Socialism



Obviously, the biggest difference between the two results is in the Moral Rules arena, which the quiz creator describes as follows:

Quote:
The Moral Rules dimension defines your view of the world's rules. It measures which actions you believe individuals should be rewarded for in society. It defines whether you believe that society should primarily reward actions that benefit society as a whole first (and individual members eventually) or reward actions that benefits each member first (and society eventually). People on the top of the Moral Matrix believe that society and each of its members benefit the most if the priority is given to collective initiatives. People on the bottom of the Moral Matrix believe that society and each of its members benefit the most if the priority is given to individual initiatives.
So, in my real world, practical view (first result), I'm more concerned about protecting individual freedoms - since the surrounding society is so hostile to the views I cherish. In my idealistic view (second result), I'm concerned much more about the community as a whole - since I am positing one that is healthy, that looks looks after its members responsibly, and that acts as a unified folkish unit.

Interesting stuff.
