Interesting test I stumbled upon....
http://helloquizzy.okcupid.com/tests/the-fairness-heuristics-test
The underlying premise is that there are essentially ten simple and efficient rules by which we each gauge fairness. By themselves, each and every one of these rules would typically sound reasonable and appropriate. In other words, each of the ten fairness rules would seem more or less fair to most people. Taken together, however, the rules often conflict, and this is where "more or less" comes into play. For, while we might all agree that the rules are all fair, we each favor some rules as being more fair than others. According to the hypothesis underlying this test, these fairness biases are the root of political differences.
The term fairness heuristics thus refers both to the postulated ten simple rules of fairness, and to the process we each use to determine which rules are more salient in making moral, and hence political, decisions.
Here's my result from the test:
Order / Insurance
You scored 30% growing, 70% insuring, and 47% reducing![30]
Piaget believed that errors are far more interesting and instructive than correct answers. This model is a work in progress; please help improve it by providing feedback!
Your Results
Fair is distributing things equally and based on need, but also taking into consideration equality of opportunity, responsibility, and power.
You perhaps have something in common with the 10% of the U.S. population (10% of voters) whom the Pew Center identifies as Disadvantaged Democrats: pro-welfare, disenchanted with government, and anti-business.
You might prefer politically correct speech, identify as a feminist, and/or support government action or policies to enforce equality.
You would probably agree with the statement that "The World Makes People". In other words, that people's circumstances are often beyond their own control.
An empathic society, where citizens are cared for, respected, and care for others, where obedience is earned through love and respect, and government both communicates why decisions are made, and listens to citizens' questions and ideas--what George Lakoff calls the "Nurturant Parent" model of government--might appeal to you.
You might favor voluntary associations, where the good of the group comes first, and worry that we are ignoring risks that could have catastrophic consequences if we don't act to prevent them, and that you are isolated in a world of arbitrary constraints.
You might be suspicious of untested technology, believing that nature is both fragile and somewhat random.
You might fall in the South-Westerly direction on Dr. Paul Ray's New Political Compass, although you might also identify as a Cultural Creative. On the World's Smallest Political Quiz, you'd probably fall in the Left-wing (Liberal) quadrant.
If someone were to criticize you in a political debate, they'd might accuse you of not understanding how things work. On the other hand, it's possible that you've accused someone (holding political opinions different from your own) of not caring about people.
I'd say that's pretty true of me and my politcal views.
