10

11
Society

Social norms

Progressive Traditionalist

Progressive Public institutions adapt to changing social norms and recognize varied family and household arrangements.

Traditionalist Public institutions prioritize inherited family arrangements, gender roles, and social customs. This does not grade personal morality.

12
Future

Technology & precaution

Acceleration Ecologist

Acceleration Rapid technological deployment and industrial development take priority when ecological or safety tradeoffs arise.

Ecologist Ecological protection and longer-term safety evidence take priority when deployment poses uncertain risks. Supporting innovation and sustainability together is compatible.

05 / A few things to know

Curiosity
starts here.

Some context before you begin.

What do the twelve axes measure?

They describe different aspects of political belief: how power is organized, how economies work, how societies live, and how states engage with the world. Each axis sits between two poles. The axes give you a wider view than a single left–right label.

How does the quiz work?

Everyone answers the same 48 core statements. You can then add up to 24 balanced clarifications where your responses are uncertain or mixed. The quiz never chooses a follow-up because you leaned toward one ideology. Progress saves locally in this browser.

Is this a scientific assessment?

No. This is an exploratory model, not a validated psychological assessment. Ideology matches and catalog profiles are simplified interpretations. Use them as starting points for reflection, not as definitive labels.

Are my answers private?

The quiz calculates your profile in your browser and saves progress locally when browser storage is available. No account is required. Sharing a result deliberately includes your twelve-axis profile and response coverage in the link, without individual answers.

Can I compare my results with someone else?

Yes, when all twelve dimensions have enough responses. Share your result link or graphic, then use Duel to compare profiles side by side. You can also explore similarities with countries and political figures.

Do I have to pick a side?

No. You can agree, disagree, stay neutral, or choose “Not sure”. Neutral counts as a midpoint; “Not sure” is excluded from scores. There is no preferred outcome. Answer according to your own views, and remember that your views can change.
