Polcompball Wiki
(Redirected from Values)

Wiki is in the process of importing stuff

Please be patient

The original eight values (and Centrist) as balls.

Values refer to the political characteristics featured in the 8Values political test and its derivatives. Values describe a generic characteristic, and are not complete ideologies on their own. Under the hereditary model of ideological formation in the PolCompBall universe, they are regarded as distant ancestors of most modern ideologies. In comics, they feature as generic characters representing single beliefs.

8Values

[edit]

8Values is an open-source political test created in April 2017, which measures users' agreement with eight diametrically opposing values across four axes, and matches them to an ideology. The original test's code serves as the basis for the other tests in this article.
