02 / Beyond left and right
Your views can cross familiar political boundaries. Each dimension opens a different part of the conversation.
Federal Unitary
Federal Regional and local governments have authority to choose policies for their communities.
Unitary National government sets common policies and has the final say over regional decisions.
Democracy Autocracy
Democracy Leaders answer to voters through competitive elections and elected representatives.
Autocracy Executive or appointed leaders can make major decisions without electoral or parliamentary approval.
Security Liberty
Security Government has broader powers to monitor, restrict, or police individual conduct in pursuit of public order.
Liberty Legal protections limit government authority over privacy, peaceful expression, and personal conduct.
Assimilation Multicultural
Assimilation Public policy emphasizes a shared predominant language, customs, and cultural tradition. This edition does not assess immigration numbers.
Multicultural Public institutions recognize multiple cultural traditions and make room for immigrant communities to maintain their heritage.
Military force Negotiation
Military force Armed capability, military deterrence, and credible threats of force take priority in foreign disputes.
Negotiation Negotiation, mediation, international legal processes, and compromises that avoid war take priority in foreign disputes.
Non-Intervention Interventionist
Non-Intervention Government avoids involvement intended to influence other countries' political decisions and conflicts.
Interventionist Government uses foreign pressure, sanctions, peacekeeping, or allied action to influence events abroad.
Public Private
Public Major services and infrastructure are owned and operated by public institutions.
Private Major services and enterprises are owned and operated by private organizations. Ownership is distinct from regulation.
State direction Markets
State direction Public rules and planning guide production, investment, prices, or wages.
Markets Businesses and market participants make economic decisions with less government direction.
Protectionism Free trade
Protectionism Tariffs, import restrictions, and preferences for domestic suppliers protect local producers.
Free trade Lower trade barriers and equal market access for domestic and foreign suppliers encourage international exchange.
Secular Religious
Secular Civil law and public authority operate independently of religious doctrine and religious officials.
Religious Religious teachings or authorities have a formal role in law and public institutions. This concerns government, not personal faith.
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.
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.

Four focused statements per dimension, balanced between both poles. Everyone begins with the same core.

05 / A few things to know
Some context before you begin.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
