1. Actually, I would rationalize that progress without argument is not progress at all, or at least not the kind of progress that a government should have (which is thoroughly implicit here.) So I disagree with that statement logically (and morally as well.)bad_ronald said:I believe that this test will produce inaccurate results for anyone who applies logic instead of morality to the questions:
Examples:
1. "A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system." - This is true; I can't imagine how anyone could deny that it avoids many "arguments that delay progress" by its very nature, but I'd imagine that the author of the site awards authoritarian points for anyone who agrees.
2. "Our civil liberties are being excessively curbed in the name of counter-terrorism." - Again, what if an authoritarian recognizes that liberties are being taken away but supports the measures, anyway?
This test is poorly designed, and no results should be taken seriously (unless you thought to yourself, "how would the author suppose that a libertarian would answer this question?" beforehand etc., that is).
2. The word "excessively" is key here. If you believe it's not excessive, you disagree with the statement.
I do however agree that the test is far from perfect. Some of the statements were very confusing to me (especially economical ones) and worst of all there were times when I pretty much equally agreed and disagreed, so I had to pick the side that seemed right to me even though I agreed with both sides almost equally (and "Agree" was too strong a way to put how much I agreed with them)...
Anyways, I got:
Economic Left/Right: -2.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.74
And I guess it's generally correct... I do think I'm socially more Libertarian and I'm probably a bit closer to the center on Economics... But not by very much, on either of them.
I might try to take it again later with more Stronglies some time... I may have taken the Agree/Disagree in places where I really do have a strong opinion...
