All credit goes to Quark. All this is is a repurposed version of IdeoSorter that touches more on the communist tree. Check out his version of IdeoSorter here.

About

IdeoSorter is a political test website created entirely by myself (Quark), including a custom result maker and a tool to view all possible results. It is based on TheGhostOfInky's own site of the same name, which operates on a similar concept, but which i felt fell short in scope, efficiency and presentation. Knowing it would not be updated further, i went ahead and developed my own take on it. After nine years in development, hopefully it will have been worth the wait. I can be reached at beaulieu.renaud@gmail.com, and my favorite ideology is neocameralism.

What is the quiz's purpose?

While many tests prioritize covering as many ideologies as possible, down to the smallest detail, whereas others attempt to provide a quiz focused on a specific political group, IdeoSorter instead aims for generality and ease of comprehension. Rather than asking a plethora of advanced questions for hardened ideologists, it avoids all the math work and offers a predetermined result drawn from the path chosen by the user, as they select their stances on simple, broad topics. It is thus rather beginner-friendly, and intended as a means of discovering one's likely ideological affiliations, or to confirm them beyond doubt.

My ideology is missing, could you add it?

Perhaps you will wander around the website and notice that your preferred political label is absent. You go through the 100 available options, and the proposed result just isn't fitting enough, if at all. Prior to contacting me so that i implement it, consider the following guidelines:

• This is a political test, not a philosophical one. What is evalutated here is not your outlook on politics as a whole, but your position within it. All questions implicitly abstain from engaging in the "why?" behind your opinions, all that matters is the concrete implications. As such, political philosophies, such as "stirnerite egoism", "reactionaryism", "marxism", "machiavellianism", etc. do not fit the test and will be rejected if adjured.
• The test's granularity is defined by the largest denomination which is accurate to label anything falling under it. Once a degree of precision is reached at which people can be correctly described with the match they get, no further fragmentation is required. Something like "socialism of the 21st century" fits under the democratic socialist umbrella, and as such would be superfluous. Same goes for any distinction of cultural or regional order. "Anti-LGBT+ neoliberalism" is still a form of neoliberalism, and "singaporean state capitalism" is still state capitalism.
• Whilst ideologies are fixed in time and internally consistent, people oftentimes are not. If your suggested addition revolves around a person or group of persons, such as "trumpism" or "putinism", and isn't linked to any written and well-defined doctrine, unlike the case of maoism or georgism, then it is wholly invalid. Similarly, buzzwords or otherwise ill-defined and widely controversial designations, as per "alt-right" or "neo-fascism", are equally worthless to this project.

If you believe you have found something that would meet all of the above criteria, you can open a GitHub issue explaining and justifying it, or do the same through email at my address (beaulieu.renaud@gmail.com), or contact me at one of my social media accounts found at the bottom of every page (realquark on Discord, u/QK_QUARK88 on Reddit and @RenaudBeaulieuQ on X).

Can i reuse your code and assets?

Sure. All of it is open-source on GitHub for you to look at or simply copy-paste or download. You can even have a try at creating your own version of the test, but i can't guarantee that you will be able to understand how my programming works, or that people won't make fun of you for it (Potentially including me). Be aware that the entirety of the project's iterations are under the GNU General Public License, meaning that you can copy, distribute and edit any of its parts at will, but you are strictly forbidden from making people pay to use it afterwards, or prevent them from accessing your source code openly and freely. My generosity comes at the cost of yours.

Other questions?

Go ahead and contact me at the places i have linked. It can be for partnerships, general propositions, clarifications, whatever. I'm nowhere near open-minded or welcoming, but i can recognize a good idea when i see one.
