Harding's Political Quiz

This political quiz was designed by E. Harding as a replacement for most existing ones, due to the utterly unnecessary multicollinearity in their dimensions' axes. Some question wording may be biased due to my obvious contempt for the position. Relax and answer to the best of your beliefs and ability. Internet Explorer does not support the modern JavaScript in this quiz. This quiz is purely client-side, so no one but you can see your results. If you want to record your results into the scatter plot at the bottom, contact me on Twitter @Enopoletus.

But greed and short-sighted selfishness and a lack of empathy seem to make up the recipe for financial success, which allows these oblivious parasites to foster more greed and short-sighted selfishness and lack of empathy."
