Shut up and gimmie your stuff.   

Not joke: Anarchy is transitional, it is not possible to sustain, eventually some form of hierarchy comes into being.

ABSO FUCKING LUTELY

Decided to take this while moderately drunk.  Might try again later.  I remember being INTJ I think but instead I scored INTP.
Strong emphasis on Introvert, though that's really situational, and pretty marginal on the others (possibly due to alcohol).

Maybe I'll try again later.
And maybe I'll check out these other tests that people are apparently taking now
I never read Hufflepuff Adventures but I know enough about wizards and Slytherins to take the test probably.  (I'm guessing Slytherin)
The ethos test sounds cool too.

Shocking no one I fall on what's probably average for this forum. I  feel like I had a lot of issues with a lot of the questions. Like...

#6: Do you mean by ability or some inherent worth of their person?
#9: Um. Nether. I think whatever applies my morals to society is correct. In a soceity that doesn't follow my morals, Revolutionary is correct, in a society that does follow my morals traditionalism is correct.
#12: I think I answered this one wrong, although it probably gave me the right score anyway. A very broad question ether way.
#14: Although I'm not firm on my position here, something I see people say they want is often a middle ground between the first two options. In that people can own a limited amount. I feel like perhaps that should've been in there in some way.
#15: I feel like some of the answers, or even all of them, should be able to be used together
#16: No issue with the question. But the first answer is funny. Lol.
#17: I feel like this question doesn't even make sense. What even is a truly free market? Edit: To me that seems like it'd be only possible in some post apoclyptic hellscape where the only law is that the strong take from the weak in some mad maxesk setting. But I'm not sure if that's what the question actually means.
#18: I feel like these are not totally mutually exclusive. Strive for your best but have some realism
#19: Er. Well, I'll avoid thoughts on this too much, but I think perhaps more choices are needed.

[NullForceOmega]

Crux, I am damn sure that I am at least borderline fascist, definitely heavily democratic, and have nearly no anarchist leanings, so how the hell did your test declare me an anarchist?  The weighting is definitely off here, I KNOW that most of my answers were authoritarian, and the rest very centrist, so I should definitely not be heavily skewed to anarchy and communism.

[TheBiggerFish]

I agree, I don't really think I'm very much a communist either.

[Cruxador]

I can't seem to figure out how to go in and check the weighting and modify things...

how is anarchy supposed to support that?

Anarchy as a political doctrine isn't just random chaos, you know. Private citizens and worker's syndicates are perfectly able to engage in construction projects, provide maintenance, and engage in economic transactions.

I KNOW that most of my answers were authoritarian, and the rest very centrist, so I should definitely not be heavily skewed to anarchy and communism.

Well, I didn't necessarily orient around those paradigms, but that's still odd. Unfortunately I can't really access any data from responses or get in and check things to make sure everything's working right. I did go through and test it and found that I was easily able to get strongly monarchist/fascist results when trying to, so it's not like the thing is bugging out. It may be an issue of specific questions.

#6: Do you mean by ability or some inherent worth of their person?

It was designed with the intent that people bring their own meaning there, and many folks consider the two to be pretty well entwined.

#9: Um. Nether. I think whatever applies my morals to society is correct. In a soceity that doesn't follow my morals, Revolutionary is correct, in a society that does follow my morals traditionalism is correct.

Obviously, you prefer your own morals. The question intentionally doesn't deal with that, because it's not what the question is asking.

#12: I think I answered this one wrong, although it probably gave me the right score anyway. A very broad question ether way.

Broad is fine. There is no wrong answer.

#14: Although I'm not firm on my position here, something I see people say they want is often a middle ground between the first two options. In that people can own a limited amount. I feel like perhaps that should've been in there in some way.

Well, the last option is actually a middle ground between the two, though perhaps not of the sort you're talking about.

#15: I feel like some of the answers, or even all of them, should be able to be used together

Yeah, this is the question to which the second sentence of the second paragraph up top most directly applies.

#16: No issue with the question. But the first answer is funny. Lol.

It's a long enough quiz, gotta have some levity where it can fit nicely.

#17: I feel like this question doesn't even make sense. What even is a truly free market? Edit: To me that seems like it'd be only possible in some post apoclyptic hellscape where the only law is that the strong take from the weak in some mad maxesk setting. But I'm not sure if that's what the question actually means.

You've more or less got it. It's just a "more regulation" vs "less regulation" question, really.

#18: I feel like these are not totally mutually exclusive. Strive for your best but have some realism

Yeah, they're not mutually exclusive at all. It's just a matter of which one is the highest priority.

#19: Er. Well, I'll avoid thoughts on this too much, but I think perhaps more choices are needed.

Yeah, I suppose it's sort of a false choice these days, now that we can just subsidize sperm or egg picking. I'm not sure there's much more nuance besides that though, which isn't just "I want that choice but not all the way", which isn't useful for the purposes of the quiz.

I think I worked out why the test is biased towards anarchism

Because I think it's a system capable of supporting the very basics of society? That's not exactly much of a basis in its favor. It's still an ideal that has never been successful on any appreciable scale for a substantial period of time and is demonstrably not an evolutionary stable strategy.

What ethos do you fit?
Your Result: Fascist
 
77%
The good of the state comes first, and the good of the people necessarily follows. Fascism hybridizes the glory and effective central planning of monarchy with democratic elements, allowing a leader to be chosen based on merit, but giving that leader the power necessary to do things efficiently and in great magnitude without consulting the will of the people. Fascism is looked down upon in the modern zeitgeist because it has historically tended to be ruthless in its efficiency, purging ethnic groups and committing moral atrocities for the good of the nation or its people. But if you don't mind getting your hands dirty, and don't mind limited civil rights for the good of the nation, fascism can be incredibly efficient.

It has successfully functioned in real life, you know. Just never for very long.

I've always heard of Slytherin as the epitome of evil, of nasty and greed and backstabbing. But it's really not. In its prime, "cunning, ambition, and determination" were the things. I guess that a. it was a bit closer to evil than most, or more easily swayed, and b. nobody can handle a story without a clear bad guy

Your Result: Communist
 
86%
Moral good is the same on the scale of families and neighborhoods as it is on the scale of nations. Give people what they need, and don't keep what you don't. But some people are greedy, so it's up to the government to make sure that goods and labor are distributed equitably. Communism is a noble ideal, but in practice it doesn't always work out that well. More lives have ended in the name of communism than any other ideology, and yet it has still failed in the modern world. Government planning can change priorities, so that even a small island nation like Cuba can have world-class education and medicine, but one cannot ignore Cuba's crushing poverty or harshly limited civil rights. And Cuba is one of the best off, being mostly free of corruption. A communist may talk in ideals, it's hard to ignore that those highest ideals have never really been reached.

Circus yes, I'm definitely a communist. Love it when my political leanings are confirmed.
