This "political sextant quiz" is a piece of irredeemable shit. Often two different positions hide within one question, and I may agree with one but disagree with the other, but I have to chose one answer. For example, "women have not achieved equality, AND they should be considered equal". How is that one question? I believe that women have already achieved equality or something incredibly close to it, yet I also think that equality for women is a good thing. So fuck me, I guess?
Anyway, 70% Classical Liberal. Sounds about right.

According to that Political Sextant I'm 100% Paleoconservative, 88% Pancasila, and 80% Caliphate. Well, they got two out of the three right 
8values meanwhile puts me down as a Right-Wing Populist.

Appernetly I am a integral nationalist, Kemalist, and a liberal Democrat.
I always knew you were a Turk.
though this does actually bring up a decent point. Tests like this need to be national or regional. Kemalism makes no sense unless you are a Turk.
I had no idea what it was till I looked it up.
Hell, all I get for the first one is basically being called fascist

Somehow I'm 70% AnCap, fusionist, and some weird leftist thing I've never heard of.
That's...incredibly inaccurate. The 8 points quiz actually got me as a moderate conservative: market oriented, patriotic, moderate on the civic (slightly more authoritarian than libertarian) and relatively traditionalist. Which, to be fair, is probably where I stand for the most part.
The problem with the sextant quiz is that for way too many answers I had to choose "no opinion" like on the women and oppression bit, when in reality it's something I'd split into two categories.

Hmm...even with the larger rounds of questions I got two different results, but the biggest consistencies are:
Economic: Anti-control (read: generally favor free market but there are *some* regulations needed for things like consumer protection and safety)
Security: Freedom, but with a fair amount of truth and security as well (50/30/20 split, roughly)
Socially: Traditionalist but not overly so
Equality: Anti-outcome (mix of equality of opportunity and a safety net for those who need it), definitely against equality of outcome.
Government: Centrist, with a bias towards democracy, then minarchy, then authority
Foreign policy: Centrist: Almost smack-dab in the middle
Edit: And to be fair that pretty much describes my outlook on politics.

This should surprise no one:

Economics: Full Market Points!
Personal Freedom: Freedom @57%
Culture: Freedom@63.7%
Equality: Burden@65.8%, with the rest in opportunity.
Government: Minarchy 60%
Foreign Policy: Split between isolationism and Imperialism, at about 40% each.
I think it fits pretty well.

That test is bullshit. I gave up about four questions in. Too many false dichotomies with no definition. For example it said "It is necessary for the government to intervene in the economy to protect consumers." Define "intervene." Are we talking about, say, uniform labeling on cans of soup, or price controls on everything sold to the public?" And protect me from what?
Another example: "Basic utilities like roads and electricity should be publicly owned." I've lived in some places that have well-run public utilities. On the other hand, if you live in Western Washington (like I do) you know about the shit shows that have gone on for years in the State Ferry system and the Port of Seattle.
I guess I'll call by self a curmudgeon and leave it at that.

Six Triangles
Pretty dang close to center in most triangles, although I strongly tend to Imperialism in the Foreign Policy triangle, and have moderate preference toward Truth and Freedom in the Personal Freedom and Culture triangles.
Let's see...
8values puts me down as a capitalist fascists. Probably because I decided to use "Strong agree" and "Strong disagree" rather than that miletoast weak sauce.
The Political Sextant claims that I'm 93% Fusionist, 100% Paleoconservative, and -and get this!- 90% Celiphate. Bruh, I'm Christian, not Muslim. There's Dominionism as the alternative. My worst ideologies are (of course) Anarcho-Communism with -71%, Anarcha-Feminism with -88%, and Queer-Anarchism with -90%. Guess it got these at least right.
Now the Six Triangles quiz. In Economics, Equality, and Government, I'm classified as a centrist, with respectively leanings being Market, Burden, and Minarchy. Freedom, I got "Moderate Freedom", Culture gave me "Extreme Tradition", and Foreign Policy resulted in "Imperialism". Considering I had like two thirds in Imperialism and one third in Isolationism, I want to know how that's supposed to work. I mean, I got no percentage in Globalism.
