Weeeeeeell, not quite

This uses far too broad strokes and is very much tailored to the US.


EDIT: The second one was even worse. Horrible questions. They ended up pinning me as Big Government and Wide Focus with democratic over autocratic, big government over small government, individualist over collectivist, right in the middle between literalist and rationalist, wide focus over narrow focus and right in the middle between human centric and ecocentric.

DBILW - Internationalist

This personality is a “democracy without borders” point of view that promotes human rights and seeks a just and progressive world order.​

All of the above seems legit, except for the focus on collectivism in that first thing. I regard individualism as priority, yeah.

 

[Alomoes]

Left-Leaning Multilateralist Humanist Liberal

ASIRW

I expected it to be as such. I'm quite surprised as to my labeling as an Adam Smith type figure, I hate the way the current free market system works, and would rather it be made more planned. Fail to plan, plan to fail sort of thing.
