If you made this yourself and are looking for feedback (that's unclear), one issue is:

No branch of government should be allowed to accumulate too much power.

Surely by definition too much power is too much regardless of your personal threshold for "too much", hence everyone's answer will be the same?

    I mean I am definitely on the left side of the spectrum, but I feel like with statements like

    The worth of a product comes only from what people are willing to pay, not from its labor or social benefit.

    or

    Maximizing economic growth is more important than reducing inequality.

    I feel like the quiz wants you to get certain results

    tell me you're from the us without telling me you're from the us. what's a "branch of government"?

    Every democracy has 3 branches (AKA powers): judiciary, legislative and executive.

    no, not every democracy. every government performs those roles but they are not all split the same way. the nordic countries are single-branch and he chinese government has many more than three.

    the nordic countries are single-branch

    According to this official government page Norway at least does have separation of powers into multiple branches. I haven't looked into the other nordic countries, but it's hard to believe that they don't at least separate out the judiciary (courts) from the rest.

    Power in Norway is divided into three branches:

    • the Storting – the legislative branch
    • the Government – the executive branch
    • the courts – the judicial branch

    Smack in the middle of the economic left progressive libertarian quadrant. No surprises there.

    I was lazy and just took the short version. It’s alright.

    Ohhh, I haven't taken one of these since my /pol/ days more than a decade ago! Let's see.

    PD.: Unsurprisingly, I'm deeply in the lower left corner. 🤷
