Migration Skepticism Test
A recent report from YouGov suggests that worries over migration is the most important, or second most important, issue for voters in 9 out of 11 EU countries. However, the debate over migration is often marred by straw men on both sides, with pro-migration advocates accusing the other side of being racist, xenophobic, and intolerant, while people skeptical of migration accuse their adversaries of being naive, deceitful, or even traitors to their country.
This test aims to be free of spin and political agendas. It will measure your attitudes to migration on six domains. Three of these were identified by the professor of philosophy at Harvard University, Robert Nozick. The other three have recently surfaced in connection with the migration debate.
For each of the following items, indicate your level of agreement.
