What is the purpose of the good and just society? How do we get there? And how do we react when faced with setbacks?
The Eudaimonic Compass is a "political compass"-like test, tailored towards a leftist audience, that will estimate your ethico-political stance against two axis representing somewhat opposing philosophical positions from the Ancient Greek world: a Platonic-Aristotelian axis, and a Epicurean-Stoic axis.
The Platonic-Aristotelian axis measures how you imagine political transformation. The Aristotelian position leans towards grassroot pragmatism and practical wisdom. The Platonic position leans towards top-down systemic transformation and rule of knowledge.
The Epicurean-Stoic axis asks how you respond in times of hardship. Epicureanism prioritizes tranquility and taking a step back; the goal is ataraxia, freedom from anxiety. Stoicism on the other hand insists on engagement and virtue; the utlimate goal is justice, even if it requires sacrifices.
You will be presented with statements, and you will answer with your opinion on each statement, from Strongly Agree to Strongly Disagree, with each answer slightly affecting your scores. At the end of the quiz, your score will be displayed on a plane of the two orthogonal axis followed by a catchy label and a short intepretation of your results.
There are 32 questions in the test.
