Not sure I really agree with the layout of that first chart.
And from The Advocates:
While I do sometimes take these Internet tests/Quizzes/Self-Evaluations, they generally don't mean a lot. Like nothing at all. But I liked what the OKCupid test had to say about the reality of permissiveness in modern society:
Higher permissiveness, on either axis, indicates a "live and let live" philosophy. Of course, we're almost conditioned in America, "Land of the Free", to think positively of such a philosophy. But practically speaking, permissiviness (or its opposite, regulation) can create any number of outcomes:H/T: RobertaX, Turk Turon, FreeThinker, among others.
For example, on the economic axis, a highly permissive system, like the American system of the early 1900s, might mean things like low taxes and increased scientific innovation. It might also result, as it did back then, in unrestricted child labor and millions of poor people with black lung.
At the other end of the economic spectrum, a highly regulated system might conserve the environment, establish national health care, and eliminate poverty. But as we've learned from the Soviet system, extreme regulation can also lead to stagnation, sameness, and unhappiness.
