First, I want to thank the hundreds of people who have taken the Counter-Currents movement poll thus far. The initial results are fascinating. So fascinating, in fact, that I have extended the deadline until May 15th, because I would like more people to take part. There are still thousands of you out there we’d love to hear from.
Thus I am resending the invitation link to everyone who has not yet participated.
- Please check your inbox or spam folder and fill out the poll today!
- Yes, that means everyone: writers, staff, volunteers, donors, regular commenters — not just casual readers. If you are on the mailing list, we want to hear from you.
The purpose of this poll is to get a clear picture of our readers. This will help us to do two things.
- Better engage and mobilize the readers we already have.
- Craft better outreach to bring in more like-minded readers.
Once we complete this poll, we hope to make versions of it available to other pro-white groups, platforms, and organizations.
- Everyone who takes the poll will be entered to win a prize of $500.
- Your answers are anonymous, because of course the questions are “personal.”
- There are 114 questions.
- The poll will take less than an hour of your time.
- The greater the number of people taking the poll, the better the data.
How do bad things happen even in a community in which most people mean well? Simple: People don’t act. Precisely because they know that their fellows mean well, they think that there’s no urgency in acting, since someone else will surely act, so everything will be okay.
But what if the other guy you are counting on is thinking the same thing about you?
Then, things that you really want to happen, don’t happen — not from lack of goodwill, indeed from an excess of goodwill, but from a lack of action.
Don’t let this project fall victim to this mindset. We are interested in learning about YOU. The other guy is just no substitute for YOU.
Here are some new reactions from people who have already taken it:
- One of the catch-lines of a fantastic nationalist group in the United Kingdom, Patriotic Alternative (PA), is “We were never asked!” It was refreshing to be asked, for once, by friends and fellow-travelers what The Movement has meant to me; how, when, and why I got involved, etc. I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to give my own point of view on the various aspects of the pro-white movement. The fascinating personality tests embedded in the survey even gave me a chance to learn something new about myself!
- Take the survey. It’s enjoyable and goes quite quickly. Seize this rare chance to have your voice heard! Taking part in this poll was a fine thing for me, not only because I am conscious of supporting an important cause, but also because — thanks to the psychological tests that were required on the way to the goal — I could learn something about myself. (I’m a bit neurotic, apparently.) All in all I had a lot of fun.
- Knowledge is power, and this survey gives us the unique opportunity to gain further insight about who we are and what got us there. This is a way to help advance your cause merely by answering some questions.
- I should like to urge friends of Counter-Currents to fill out this survey not only to help the pro-white movement grow with the help of our feedback, but also because whilst filling out the form it really brought me back to what brought me towards the movement in the first place, which is the reason I enjoyed filling out the questions.
- Very painless multiple-choice survey that lets you be as detailed or as ambiguous as you want for good OPSEC.
- Please take some time out of your day and allow your opinion to be represented by taking this well-constructed poll the Counter-Currents team put together.
- The poll was interesting, quick, and quite painless. I would encourage people to take time and complete the survey.
- It was interesting to see my test results.
- I encourage everyone to take this poll, it’s fun and quick and it took me way less than an hour to complete. Plus if it helps spread our message in some way, it’s a cheap and easy way to contribute to do that.
- We are descended from unique and diverse peoples who lived in Europe and greater Eurasia. This poll is very comprehensive and will help identify who We are and how We will survive.
- The polling site is easy to use and functions well. The questions were actually enjoyable to answer, and the poll doesn’t feel like a slog. I think anyone who is genuinely interested in the movement or even simply has an intellectual affinity for the ideas of ethnonationalism and white identity will find it both edifying and fulfilling.
- It was very good to think and reflect about all the twists and turns that led me here to who I am.
- So it had a positive impact on me, and I hope this acquired self-knowledge for the movement will help us in the “Sun Tzu” sense of not being defeated in a hundred battles.
- Counter-Currents is conducting this survey to discover the common threads in our individual ideas of pro-white heritage, beyond the parochial bickering over details. The survey is anonymous. Your input is necessary.
- A better use of time than scrolling away. Helps further the movement and some interesting personality analyses to boot.
- Our survival movement is on a roll, taking the Counter-Currents’ poll adds more muscle.
- I think it’s worth taking this poll as it will identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities to fill gaps and ways of moving forward to become stronger and reach our goals.
So please set aside some time and take this poll today.
- Check your e-mail or spam folder for the invitation.
- Or, if you are not on our mailing list, join it today:
Thank you,
Greg Johnson

I am so sorry that I cannot finish the few pages or questions which I did attempt. My eyes are just not good anymore and I make many errors that I have to go back the correct. I think I can finish on paper, but I don’t have a printer, nor the place to put one.
Best of luck on the results of our more clever readers. I want to be of help to CC, but my abilities are slipping.
I think it is very important to learn how our readers and writers found their way to us and what they are expecting of the future.
Thanks for creating a place where people can express themselves.
Surely you could use your web browser’s zoom feature – every browser has one – to enlarge the text to a workable size?
Thanks for the good survey, I’ve already sent you feedback and emails for other nationalists.
Thanks. Will follow up.
The survey tells Counter-Currents where you are coming from. That’s good. The Sun Tsu quote is to the point. We need to know not only the enemy but ourselves.
The survey can also tell you things about where you are coming from. I keep thinking of my answers, sometimes satisfied with them, sometimes wanting to alter them. Is that what I’m really looking to as the best hope for our race to have a future? Are the people that influenced me most the people whose books I read or the people who pointed me to those sources and also to many others? Questions like these should be answered but the answers aren’t entirely simple.
I keep thinking of my answers, sometimes satisfied with them, sometimes wanting to alter them.
On board with these thoughts.
Hm… I participated in the survey because I assume that it´s helpful. But I didn´t find it easy and I didn´t find it fun
(and 1 hour can be long).
Please do it anyways ! 😉
Thanks. Duty over pleasure is the winning ethos. Most people seem to take 30 minutes. An hour is the outside time frame.
It’s easy and slightly enjoyable to do, fifteen minutes tops. I think you should share the results via emails with donors.
I wish some of the more personal questions had the option to add some context. For example, I had a drinking problem in the past, but I am now happily sober, non-smoking, etc. I don’t like the picture my answers painted of me, but I answered the questions as they were written anyway. That’s the truth, and if the data helps, it’s all worth it!
Although I still enjoyed completing the poll, and would recommend it to anyone who considers themselves pro-White.
I enjoyed taking the poll. It was easy to do and did not take much time. I felt that some of the canned answers were imprecise and that there should have been more opportunities to explain answers.
I have no idea what my IQ is supposed to be. I don’t trust informal IQ tests, just the official ones.
I am pretty sure that I took IQ testing in school as the one in our district was chock full of mentally-retarded ─ now called “special needs” ─ children, and so I had all kinds of psychologists that liked to pick people out at random to go take weird tests. I remember evaluators with degrees on the wall who had you play games with them like checkers or chess to try to see what was going on inside your head. I’m not sure what they thought about me because they stayed poker-faced and they sometimes let you win.
If they gave us IQ tests, then they certainly did not tell you how you did. That was quite verboten in those days. “We all have to be EEEQUAL” as the fire chief said in Fahrenheit 451.
In Junior High School we were required to do this Iowa Basics battery of tests, now called the Iowa Assessments.
I tried my best on them but it was endless and somewhat grueling. since we weren’t being personally scored. I am not sure what the motivation for even doing it was, to make the schools look good in your state or something? Do they get more Federal monies if the students do better or worse? I remember that many of the students did not take it too seriously, and some just stopped answering questions in the middle of the testing altogether. They didn’t even offer a lollipop to any of us for bothering with it.
I took the ACT test on a lark in the 1970s. In my Junior year of school they said that there was this test over the weekend downtown and that I should take it if there was any possibility that I was ever going to college. I don’t even remember how I got there, probably got a ride with a friend and his Mom. Anyway, I don’t remember my scores without looking at my college transcripts, but it was in the ninety-something percentile for Juniors in the state of Idaho, and I did better than my sister who took it a few years later and she was the school valedictorian, with the highest GPA in her rather large graduating class.
We never took the SAT test so I have no frame of reference there.
I don’t remember what my ASVAB (Armed Forces Vocational Aptitude Battery) scores were. That was 44 years ago, dude. I just remember that I could have done anything that I wanted to in the military, and I went into the U.S. Army Signal Corps.
I am not sure if that was the best MOS or not. I did not find it challenging enough. There were not that many Blacks in that MOS or even in the Signal Corps at all other than admin types or telephone pole-climbers, or your basic infantry radio grunt like Forrest Gump (or maybe I am thinking of Bubba). I never considered myself particularly detail-vigilant, but the ASVAB said otherwise.
I have taken a few Myers-Briggs tests. I think it is useful for evaluating what you like to do. I always score as INTJ.
I had never taken a five-factor model OCEAN psychology test before, so I took the one with this poll. The test showed me as having decent openness to experience, which did not come as a big surprise, as I consider myself to be very intellectually-curious.
I also consider myself to be extremely conscientious, one of the most conscientious persons that I know. However, this test seemed to score me a little on the lower side of conscientiousness than I expected.
I wonder if that might have been because I was exhausted and particularly unmotivated when I took the poll. That happens a lot at my age. I try not to blackpill people but I am not a particularly optimistic person. The rest of the OCEAN was pretty much as I expected, including decently low on neuroticism ─ alhough I have been told that I am pretty sensitive to the feelings of others.
Anyway, I hope the polling is meaningful. It would be interesting to see how fellow-travellers did as a group. I don’t think it matters much if the ADL finds out. If we use smartphones and computers, we are probably Open Books anyway.
🙂
Interesting there – looks like we have a lot in common.
