Political Triangle Quiz
The political triangle is an open source project by CrystalVulpine aiming to provide an improvement over the traditional political compass. You can find more information about it here.
Take the short test below and it will plot your results alongside the political parties running this election.
Answer each question as the society you would like to live in. Some answers are extreme, and some are moderate. If you don’t agree with any of the given answers, either choose the one that is closest to your view (as it applies to government), or don’t answer it. Once you finish the test, it will plot your position on the triangle based on your answers, between left, right, and libertarian (the top section of the triangle).
