Whoever chose that font scored very high on the Meanie scale.

Translations welcome.
I could not read the names either. The infographic was sized down and the text names are blurry.

fyi, one of the things that has always done my head in.
It’s a sad reflection on our society that something as basic as drinking water is now a bottled, branded consumer product.

I was center left lower, but toward the libertarian end. I wonder what my results would have been if “neither agree nor disagree” was an option on some of the questions, because that’s what I would have selected for some.

Me too, Maybenaut - both location and the option I’d have taken on some of the questions if it was available.

Some of the questions are also incredibly loaded or have one or two key words that with *as written* affected my answer tremendously.
But the sunshine aye shall light the sky,
As round and round we run;
And the truth shall ever come uppermost,
And justice shall be done.

Reminder from before the start of the test.
Before taking the test: Please note that this isn’t a survey, and these aren’t questions. They’re propositions. To question the logic of individual ones that irritate you is to miss the point. Some propositions are extreme, and some are moderate. That’s how we can show you whether you lean towards extremism or moderation on the Compass. Your responses should not be overthought. Some of them are intentionally vague. Their purpose is to trigger reactions in the mind, measuring feelings and prejudices rather than detailed opinions on policy.

I didn't want to put in the effort to figure it out. But I could tell by the "propositions" there was ample oppostunity to slew my dot just about anywhere. Dead center seemed like a good place to start.

I failed to capture my grid, but it was also in the lower left quadrant.

I'm Ok with that.

Yeah, I was missing the neutral option myself.

Having computer issues, but bottom left green, a little more down and left rather than center of it. But, basically, just about where everybody else is.

At some point, we really should just all start chanting "ONE OF US! ONE OF US!"

On the other hand, given what happened in the rest of the movie, maybe not so much.

As round and round we run;
And the truth shall ever come uppermost,
And justice shall be done.

I have a feeling that if I took that test I would be put on the same spot. :mrgreen: Or the questions are pretty leaning.
