PolitiCube

The following test is used to gauge general opinions. Your responses are used to determine your political orientation relative to three political dimensions. This test does not assess alternative dimensions nor does it make conclusions about specific issues of political policy.

If your response is divided between two or more options within a prompt, you can select multiple options when they are not mutually incompatible. The outcome for each prompt will be an average of the options selected.

The Adaptive Test is a hybridized flowchart-style test version which prompts responses to issues which can pertain to multiple PolitiCube dimensions at a time. The test prompts and responses are actively adapted to your responses as you take the test to remove any options that are incompatible with the responses you have already selected, thus tailoring the test to your responses as you take it.

Being a subject of this government should be voluntary for citizens (free to renounce citizenship)

Being a subject of this government should not be voluntary for citizens (not free to renounce citizenship)

As a sovereign government of one person, answering to no authority other than one's self:

I would not violate anyone else's sovereignty by coercing authority over them (not coerce/force anyone to do anything, such as: not enforce property rights, not enforce cultural ideals, etc.)

I would forcefully oppose the violation of anyone's sovereignty (enforced egoism, anti-involuntary governance)

I would transiently violate the sovereignty of others by temporarily coercing authority over them (transiently coerce/force anyone to do anything, such as: enforce property rights, enforce cultural ideals, etc.)
