1 year ago I feel there's a lot of baggage attached to some of the definitions here. Also maybe some misunderstanding on the definitions.
NATION
Those with higher Nation scores are patriotic and nationalist. They often believe in an aggressive foreign policy, valuing the military, strength, sovereignty, and at high values, territorial expansion.LIBERTY
Those with higher Liberty scores believe in strong civil liberties. They tend to support democracy and oppose state intervention in personal lives. Note that this refers to civil liberties, not economic liberties.One refers to isolationism vs globalism, the other refers to civil freedoms, interventionism vs laissez-faire. They cannot be on the same axis as they aren't on the same "coin". They're a different coin entirely.
I'm not sure where you are getting your statistics on the 2 out of 3 people, but regardless, being "liberty-minded" cannot be on the same "coin" as nationalism, one can be correlated with in terms of their personal reasonings, but all 8axis are opposites on the same spectrum.
globalist-Marxist? I think again it's just a misunderstanding of the definitions here... Globalism has nothing to do with 'freedoms' and 'marxism' has everything to do with economic and social ideologies. In fact it would kind of say the opposite to 'complete freemdom'.
I've taken the test 11 times now and given completely different answers. The fact that you cannot be a Nationalist and be Liberty-minded at the same time makes this broken at the most fundamental level.
In the western-world easily 2 out of 3 people that are nationalistic are that way because they are liberty-minded. Being Globally-minded by its very nature means others controlling your behavior. This shouldn't be based on the moronic college kids who think being a globalist-Marxist means complete freedom. Let's stick to the real world. There are two types of Nationalism, Libertarian and Fascistic but this test only allows for Fascism. Seriously incorrect.
