Couldâve sworn I posted a thread on this in Exiled
EDIT: Nope. Itâs here. Different test though
Literally the same economic score and Iâm just -0.10 off of your social score
The test was meant to have the average person in the center. (Briefly checking I canât find the mean red dot - youâd think theyâd have that somewhere)
yikes
Nestor Mahkno bottom left?
Proudhon bottom center I think.
Pinochet top right
David Hume middle right?
The rest are obvious - assuming center is just some regular dumb guy
Those have been drawn in the same way Garrison depicts Trump.
The guy with the stache in the lower left isnât Freddie Mercury?!
I assume bottom right is Friedman?
Yeah, thatâs what I thought. It could be Murray Rothbard though.
eta: They look enough alike that I donât think you can be sure from the drawing, but it kinda looks a little more like Rothbard.
I think it is for sure.
OK, letâs reverse engineer this stupid,stupid,stupid interactive Nolan Chart Libertarian propaganda.
First, letâs make some simplifying assumptions, and see if they hold in practice. What do we know about libertarian-types for sure? Well⌠they are stupid and lazy. The stupid and lazy way to score this quiz would be each Q/A pair would have a +/- value in one dimension, and be a zero in the other dimension. And these coefficients would average to zero.
Letâs see what we find outâŚ
| Answers | âEconâ | âSocialâ |
|---|---|---|
| A all | 0.38 | 2.41 |
| D all | -0.25 | -2.41 |
This comes very close to the A(gree) and D(isagree) coefficients summing to zero. Close enough to imagine they slightly messed up their own math⌠which is consistent with them being stupid.
Letâs see what happens when we vary one answer. FYI: Q1 is âIf economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporationsââŚ
| Answers | âEconâ | âSocialâ |
|---|---|---|
| SD #1, A rest | 1.25 | 2.41 |
| D #1, A rest | 1.00 | 2.41 |
| A all | 0.38 | 2.41 |
| SA #1, A rest | 0.13 | 2.41 |
Which is a little bit surprising as all the âEconâ values are positive. This implies that after they sum the respective coefficients there are two constants summed in to arrive at the final display numbers.
It doesnât appear that the lazy libertarian-type propaganda spewers behind this website restrict the repeated usage of their quiz, so we should be able to reverse engineer this stupidity fairly quickly⌠if anyone cared enough to do so.
Iâm leaning more towards
than
As I mentioned above, us UnStuckers should be able to come up with our own visualizations. And⌠we most certainly can come up with ones that (a) arenât overt RWNJ propaganda, and (b) are relevant to us in particular. As a serious suggestion, and with the constraint of cramming things into an X/Y space, I propose the following as the two axisâŚ
- pro-capitalists -vs- anti-capitalist
- Parliamentarian -vs- Direct Actioneer
I suggest we collect more Qs along these lines, like the excellent Qs @ ggoreo has nominated above.
ETA: TIL what Likert means.
the beatings will continue until post replies improve
Guess he went to the Ben Garrison school of artwork.
