Default Re: Political Test

Overall, the PoliticsForum quiz considers you a theist, big-government, internationalist, protectionist, non-absolutist, controlled-market kind of person, who also seems quite Marxist.

These characteristics would put you in the overall category of Marxist. Your natural home at PoliticsForum would be the Communism area.

You scored 58 out of 100 on a scale of Individual vs Social. This means that politically you are neither more nor less likely to value the need for group actions and group benefit over individual enterprise and benefit.

You scored 22 out of 100 on a scale of Theist vs Materialist. This means that politically you are less likely to believe that religion and spirituality are superstitions that should not inform political debate.

You scored 38 out of 100 on a scale of Big Government vs Small Government. This means that politically you are less likely to believe that government should keep out of legislating social policies, leaving such decisions to individuals.

You scored 61 out of 100 on a scale of Nationalist vs Internationalist. This means that politically you are more likely to favour international bodies over national ones.

You scored 18 out of 100 on a scale of Protectionist vs Free Trader. This means that politically you are less likely to favour free trade over protectionist policies.

You scored 63 out of 100 on a scale of Absolutist vs Non Absolutist. This means that politically you are less likely to believe that there is an absolute truth that may guide your ideological beliefs.

You scored 26 out of 100 on a scale of Controlled Market vs Liberal Market. This means that politically you are more likely to believe that there is need for government regulation of industry.

You scored 34 out of 100 on a scale of Marxist vs Non-Marxist. This means that politically you are more likely to follow the philosophies of Marx.

I think several of us have scored highly on the Marxism scale because the test maker assumed that anyone who distrusts or resents the current governing class must favour Marxism. How naive!

Yes.. also, I adhere somewhat to Marx' analysis of the capitalist class society, but I do not agree with other Marxist theories or "solutions". Opposing today's class society does not mean you seek a Marxist socialist society.

Also, the test is very Amerocentric.

Overall, the PoliticsForum quiz considers you an individually-orientated, theist, small-government, nationalist, liberal-market kind of person, who also seems quite Marxist.
These characteristics would put you in the overall category of Marxist. Your natural home at PoliticsForum would be the Communism area.





Lol, never before has anyone ever called me a Marxist . Well, a nationalist, theist, small-governement, liberal-market and individually orientated person isn't usually a Communist anyway

Below, on this page, is an analysis of the (up to) eight categories that you were sorted into above, and an explanation of how you scored on the eight scales used to determine these categorisations.

The pages following this one show the breakdown of results for all participants on each question. You can freely navigate through the pages by using the hyperlinks in the top right of each page.

The test is biased and founded on some typically American preconceptions, stereotypes and groupings. They labelled me Communist, which is the last thing I thought.

It's crap.
