Your answers describe twelve separate dimensions of political thought, from the distribution of power to economics, social values and technology. Each axis stands on its own.
Is this a scientific personality test?+
No. It is a tool for exploring ideas. Profiles are simplified models, and a close match does not mean you share every belief or action of a person, country or movement.
Are my answers private?+
Answers are calculated on your device. A shared result link contains your scores, so anyone with that link can read them. Joining a group is optional and requires your explicit consent.
