Polytica Quiz

Polytica is, in essence, a political quiz that attempts to assign percentages for eight different political values. You will be presented by a statement, and then you will answer with your opinion on the statement, from Strongly Agree to Strongly Disagree, with each answer slightly affecting your scores. At the end of the quiz, your answers will be compared to the maximum possible for each value, thus giving you a percentage. Answer honestly!

What are the Polytica values?

There are four independent axes - Economic, Diplomatic, Civil, and Societal - and each has two opposing values assigned to them.

Economic Axis

Want the economy to distribute value evenly among the populace. Tend to support progressive tax codes, social programs, and possibly socialism.

Want the economy to be focused on rapid growth. Tend to support lower taxes, privatization, deregulation, and possibly laissez-faire capitalism.

Diplomatic Axis

Patriotic and nationalist. Tend to believe in an aggressive foreign policy, valuing the military, strength, sovereignty, and possibly territorial expansion.

Cosmopolitan and multicultural. Tend to believe in peaceful foreign relations, emphasizing diplomacy, cooperation, integration, and possibly pacifism.

Civil Axis

Believe in strong civil liberties. Tend to support democracy and oppose state intervention in personal lives (this refers to civil liberties, not economic ones).

Believe in strong state power. Tend to support state intervention in personal lives, government surveillance, and possibly censorship and autocracy.

Societal Axis

Believe in traditional values and strict adherence to a moral code. Tend to be religious, and to support the status quo or how things were "back in the day".

Believe in social change and rationality. Tend to be secular or atheist, and to support environmental action and scientific or technological research.
