Without taking the quiz:
Reformist, neutral, decentralist, international, union, nature, progressive.
After taking the quiz:
Neutral [45.6% | 54.4%]
Scientific [72.1% | 27.9%]
Very Decentralist[15.0 | 85.0%]
Internationalist [73.2% | 26.8٪]
Neutral [45.8% | 54.2%]
Very Ecological [20.8% | 79.2%]
Progressive [29.7% | 70.3%]
Centrist Marxism with Democratic Socialism at 97.3% and eco anarchism at 94.9%. This seems reasonable, although I am not sure what Centrist Marxism is.
I’m more revolutionary and less utopian than I’m willing to admit, but I really thought I was more pro union than that.
Also detecting a bit of a bias toward decentralization and internationalism.

Being open to more data and not wanting to take too many strong stances has its price. That, and I think the wording on some questions made it hard for me to decide which stance I had:

i found the correct quiz and it came back that i am a “centrist marxist” with “democratic socialist” as my next closest match (94.1%). the next match was at 74% and then the rest of the matches fell off a cliff hovering in the single digit percentages.
my reading says that centrist marxism means taking a strong marxist stance socially and economically while remaining neutral on the matter of revolution vs. reformism.

So I’m one of those “Cultural Marxists” you keep reading about.

my long term goal of influencing future generations towards the socialist state has been ironically enhanced these past two years by being tasked with teaching financial math giving me an even bigger opportunity to relate my knowledge about discrimination and oppression.

I forgot to grab the continuum graphic, but I came out Dem Soc, no surprise there. The score it assigned me on the Unionist/Party continuum seemed way off - I’m heavily pro-union - so I’m not sure how that happened. Maybe I clicked wrong on one of the questions?

The site says:
Party vs. Union
Those with a higher party score tend to favor using political parties as the basis of a socialist movement. Those with a higher union score tend to favor using trade unions and other forms of mass organization as a basis of a socialist movement. Being pro-party does not necessarily mean you oppose unions and vice versa, it is more about preference.

Ah, thanks! Must’ve let slip some party preference that I wasn’t even aware of.

I wouldn’t worry about it. I got a lower ecological score than I expected, I think that was because I have the opposition to Deep Ecology that is common in Communalists.
Talking of Communalism, the three matches that I got that were over 95% fit well if you look at Murray Bookchin as an Eco-socialist trying to find a balance between Anarchism and Marxism.

Same. I’m very pro union and not loyal to political parties at all, but this puts me in the middle somewhere.
Makes more sense now. I believe in having socialists enter the political system posing as Democrats, and am actually against trade unions, corporations, lobbyists, etc trying to influence the political system from outside.

Pretty neutral, except for very strongly decentralist, and fairly strongly internationalist.
A lot of the questions suck, though.
E.g. can we replace fossil fuels with renewables? This is a field I have a lot of detailed knowledge of, including graduate study and having worked in the field, and my answer would be: Probably not with just renewables, but definitely with ~80% renewables and the remaining 20% nuclear for base load. The question is so simplistic as to be useless, and there are a lot like that.
given the current political system under which i live–united states constitution–i favor unions having political influence as a countervailing force to the influence of corporations and billionaires’ lobbyists.

I came up as a Centrist Marxist, which seems fairly apt for my general unwillingness to commit to a strong position. Next best fit was democratic socialism.

interesting, of the three so far who came back as centrist marxists, the #2 pick was democratic socialism in all cases.
