A very good quiz. Some questions seemed like they were there to determine a Sane/Insane axis, but they made me think of issues I hadn't considered before.

Sorry stupid question, but I don't understand the wording of this question

QuotePeople who work at a large corporation or non-profit should be entitled to take it over if it is primarily supported by tax dollars or if it is wealthy because of markets skewed in its favor by government-granted privilege.
Through me the way to the city of woe, Through me the way to everlasting pain, Through me the way among the lost.
Justice moved my maker on high.
Divine power made me, Wisdom supreme, and Primal love.
Before me nothing was but things eternal, and eternal I endure.
Abandon all hope, you who enter here.

hmm.  my usual placement on a Nolan Chart conflicts a bit, but then that's a much less in-depth quiz, by design.

The question is saying if a corporation or non-profit is primarily run due to either tax dollars given to it or because of regulation skewing the market in its favour, should those people who work there be entitled to own it and run it collectively?

Though I will say some the I occasionally wording I found confusing... don't know how much that skewed it.

EDIT: Judging from the questions I found confusing I may skew more towards the center of the Militarist. So I might be the biggest thing to a war monger among you all.

So far, I'm the biggest statist ITT, LOL.  I don't believe that I am as economically left as the quiz makes me out to be, but I believe large corporations and ultrarich individuals routinely use their wealth to corrupt the government in their favor, and there seemed to be a lot of questions about that. 

I also found a few of the questions to be confusingly worded, but this quiz is way better than Political Compass which insists that I am a Libertarian :roll:

There needs to be an "I don't care" option for some of these.

EDIT: Okay, yeah, it's getting worse the farther I go. Take "There is no particular moral reason for me to help people who cannot help themselves." I'm putting agree, because I agree with the statement as it's written--I don't believe in objective morals, so of course I have no moral obligation to help other people. However, I love people and generally do whatever I can to help people so long as I'm not fucking myself in the process. I'm a shirt-off-my-back kind of guy, just not because I feel morally obligated along those lines. But I have a feeling this test's going to read my response as "oh hey you're a greedy, selfish fuck" because my value system is based on love of my fellow man rather than feelings of blind moral obligation to other people.

Overall this still strikes me as pretty crappy and I think some of the questions are asking more than what's written down.

I didn't read that as being exclusive to objective morals, so I applied my subjective morals to the question.
