The Moral Matrix
Take this new morality-based political test now [click] to find where you fit on the Moral Matrix. Find out which party and candidates best match your core beliefs.
This test is (or at least tries to be) a different political test. Most tests assess your opinion by questioning your stance on political issues. This test explains why you think what you think by mapping your personal moral system. Moral views are the major factors that influence political opinions. Every political stance can be explained by one's moral position on the inner value of human beings and their role in society.
The Moral Order dimension defines your view of the world's order:
1. It measures whether you believe certain things have moral authority over others.
2. It ranks notions such as God, race, humans, nature, men, women, lifestyles...
You can visualize your personal moral order as a ladder where items with the most moral authority appear on the higher steps and those with the least authority appear on the lower steps.
People on the right of the Moral Matrix have a structured moral order (i.e. many steps on their moral ladder).
People on the left of the Moral Matrix have a flat moral order (i.e. few steps on their moral ladder).
The Moral Rules dimension defines your view of the world's rules.
1. It measures which actions you believe individuals should be rewarded for in society.
2. It defines whether you believe that society should primarily reward actions that benefit society as a whole first (and individual members eventually) or reward actions that benefits each member first (and society eventually).
People on the top of the Moral Matrix believe that society and each of its members benefit the most if the priority is given to collective initiatives.
People on the bottom of the Moral Matrix believe that society and each of its members benefit the most if the priority is given to individual initiatives.
The Moral Politics Test was introduced in September 2004. It was built by the developers of Xignite (an internet software company located in Foster City, California) on their free time.
