Help me create a Telltale Community political compass!

edited November 2015 in General Chat

Hey everyone, Blind Max here! I was bored and had an idea.

I thought it might be interesting to create a political compass of Telltale users!

To participate, all you need to do is go here and take the test. When you're done, simply post your coordinates on this thread (or in our NationStates message board). When a good number of people have taken the test and shared their results, I will use your coordinates to create a nice big graph that shows where everybody stands.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT : Here is our chart so far, with the legend below. I'll make a new chart once we hit 15 people.

    Yeah, but the latest one was made in April. Just because a topic has been discussed before doesn't automatically disqualify it from getting a new thread on the subject matter, as new people join the forums, new developments come, and opinions changes. Now if a thread on this same topic was made within like 2 weeks, maybe so, it be merged. But not one that's 7 months old.

    I know, but this guy wants to create a graph of all the political standings in the community as the main point of the thread - he already has access to many pages worth of data.

    Since there're so many users who took part in those threads, couldn't you just use the data from them to create a graph?

    Nope, opinions change. And I wouldn't put people on the chart unless they've volunteered.

    This isn't a big deal, so please stop trying to get it taken down and just leave if you don't want to participate.

    I took the test before. I've retaken it now and now I'm a right-leaning libertarian, instead of a left-leaning one.

  • BigBlindMaxBigBlindMax Banned

    Hey, people's views change.

    I was a pretty extreme left-libertarian last time, and I've slid closer to the center since then.

    Thanks!

    Well guys, the data is interesting so far. We have every quadrant represented except Authoritarian Right and a trend towards the red quadrant, which I definitely wasn't expecting. Once we reach 10 people, I'll post the first graph.

    I might shorten some names a bit.

    I'm not trying to get it taken down, I'm just debating it's point. If opinions change so rapidly then there isn't a massive point in creating the chart in the first place.

    I'm not sure volunteering is a massive concern when we're dealing with a forum where you choose a public username, which would be all you can represent, and where the posts you got data from were also public.

    Huh, I... did not expect that. But if that's what it says, that's what it says. (I actually thought I'd end up far more centro-authoritarian, but I did think many of the questions were too broad, so the test may be not all that precise?).

    To be honest, I thought I'd be a little higher on the authoritarian side, guess not.

    Cool! You can join Lingvort in the Lib-Right section.

    Can you give me your coordinates?

    The lib-left quadrant is filling up! Thanks for participating.

    Can I have your coordinates? I can eyeball it if you don't have them, but they would make it easier to pinpoint your position on the telltale graph.

    A lot of people didn't post the numerical values of their results in that thread and instead just posted an image of their results, which have since been taken down/ expired or something.

    That's what I needed, thanks.

    It's interssting because in this test, authoritarian doesn't necessarily Mean social conservative or militaristic. It's kind of a mix of both. An authoritarian has trust in the system and generally appreciates the status quo.

    We're one score away from completing the fist chart.

    I think that, instead of trying to fit all your names in the graph, I'll assign you each a number and put a key underneath it.

    I highly protest the appelation 'liberarian' though.

    Actually, my dream world would be quite authoritarian... and both conservative and militaristic... The values being 'defended' to the death would just be very different.. ;)

    I've already closed out of the test, my bad. If I had to estimate:

    Economic Left/Right: 2.4-2.5 range

    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.10 (you might as well just put me on the line)

    Libertarian means something completely different outside of America. In most places, it's general anti-Authoritarianism.

    Anyway, thanks for taking the test.

    I actually did just go back and retake the test, I tried keeping the same answers, but apparently I'm now a little more right than before, while I'm still around the same spot for libertarian/authoritarian. According to the new test:

    Economic Left/Right: 3.0

    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.56

    enter image description here

    Use whichever version you want, doesn't matter to me which one you go with.

    Not really sure what stances I changed since I last took this, though I think I may have answered more to what the questions were meaning to ask rather than answer to the actual wording of those questions as I did last time. Somehow I moved up the authoritarian ladder, and moved slightly over to the right.
