Link to the quiz

I got a 10/16. The answers are somehow more incoherent than I thought they would be. What makes a voter this way? Is every liberal democracy like this to some degree?

    Christ I did horrible, 5/16. I think it would be better if the choices were randomized somehow though? Otherwise it feels a bit editorialized if the author picked the people with the most surprising takes in a certain order.

      yeah I’m skeptical because the sample size is the same 16 people for every person who takes the quiz so it shouldn’t be hard at all to find 16 voters with especially contradictory/surprising views. Maybe they could have had some survey of ~2000 people like this and each iteration of the quiz would consist of some random sample from this?

        I had this thought as well, and closed the tab when I realized a cherry-picked respondent and the most aggressively cartoonish representation of the incoherence of the ‘median voter,’ like it was cooked up in a writer’s room… those people in this quiz would be indistinguishable to me.

        It got some solid doom laughs out of me though.
