This is just one of my Ni inspired ideas. Oh gawd, I am so bored that I am making a political MBTI.
For those who are familiar with the political compass test, it suggests that political ideology falls along two axises, one for the socioeconomic left and right, and the other for individual freedom (liberty) which translates to libertarian and authoritarian.
However, I think this is still too simplistic. Combining the social positions with the economic positions is an American phenomenon that has occurred as a result of pigeonholing within the Democratic and Republican parties. This also does not account for the primary motive of individual's conduct, morality.
As a result, we end up with four dichotomies.
Liberty - Authoritarian versus Libertarian
Economic - Socialism versus Capitalism
Social -Progressive versus Traditional
Morality - Relativism versus Objectivism
(These are just intuitively grabbed, and I welcome any other suggestions)
That means that we can construct 16 different political types.

Each type, of course, would have its own description.
And yes, I have completely lost my mind.
