so I've been catching some glimpses on the nerd-o-sphere about this new political quiz:

8values.github.io/

From the feedback I was seeing, apparently it's better than the venerable Political Compass (politicalcompass.org/), if only because it provides more granularity?

Well, aside from the fact that the political compass quiz results come in two axes and this one has *four*... I guess more is good?

In any case my results are as follows, which... I don't get it? I thought libertarianism and socialism were like... kind of opposite ends of the governmental interference spectrum?

Like, how is this thing calculated anyway? What are the possible answers? What's the underlying theory in naming these political ideologies?

@tariqk Libertarian used to just mean socially-- now that it's a party, it's non-interference generally.
