Oh no... People have slightly different values based on mood.
This is the same argument as that races don't exist, because some people don't fit perfectly.
most tests are created by ideologs, who do not understand even most basic differences. I get it.
Not, the simple question is. What do you value the most:
equity
freedom
stable society
this simple question does help to inform most of peoples values. Obviously, there will be slight differences. But this question seems to cristalize the society the most.
Yes? At least I do, except replace "slightly" with "vastly".

Depends on how I feel at that moment. But I don't see why we can't have all the above, if only just for certain situations and circumstances.

I love this example.
Every cell in your body in individual yet interdependent. It can heal minor injuties, discriminate, but body is still working.
Now, let's make it political. Take a knife, and cut yourself. Most people cannot do it, because millions of nerves decided to not do the job brain tells them to do. That is a political proccess in a nutshell 
Me, more-or-less. I tend to think more about individual behavior and the consequences of individual interactions.
The human body is countless single-celled organisms all doing their own thing and mostly not giving one whit about what the others are up to despite always interacting, interconnecting, and being interdependent one way or the other.
Hell, each cell is its own megalopolis of decillions of creatures doing all the above, and each of those creatures are themselves decillions of even smaller things and processes.
Zoom out, and it's the same thing: humans doing their own thing in their own particular city and/or family/friend group etc. Zoom out again and now these groupings are interacting and interconnecting like living beings themselves. Zoom out some more, and.. are we at nations? The whole of Earth? This arm of the Milky Way? Virgo Supercluster? Is the Virgo Supercluster a living being interacting with other superclusters interacting with other superclusters over the span of billions of years?
I forgot where I was going with this, except "something something politics irrelevant blah blah".
