Critique of representation of Civil Axis #88

Open Spartan322 opened 6 years ago

Spartan322 commented 6 years ago

I have minor issues with some of the represented axises and questions, but most of them seem properly addressed in other issues to some degree or so, however my biggest bug with doing this test twice now has been the questions given have pushed me towards being a 50/50 split of authority vs. liberty despite the fact that I'm a anarcho-capitalist/government reductionist politically. I'm on the extreme end of desiring either the absolution of government as a whole or the shrinking of government into the smallest and least powerful system possible. If the axis represents both state and economic authority that wouldn't make much sense to me but then I could understand the result, however from my understanding at first glance that's not what I'm thinking. For reference this was what I was getting: https://8values.github.io/results.html?e=17.7&d=29.3&g=54.6&s=32.4

I also have two perspectives that divide in the political that kinda make answering some of these questions harder because the questions are too intertwined with both sides and sometimes they get in the way of each other. I have a traditional perspective personally but a different political philosophy and it makes answering these questions (which some are already vague) all the harder, I don't know the fix but its just something I'd like to make known that bugged me.
