One profile.
Twelve tensions.

The test maps political instincts across twelve separate dimensions. It is designed to show where your views pull in different directions, rather than compressing them into one left-to-right label.

How scoring works

Each question belongs to one axis and has an agreed pole. Your answer is converted to a value between 0 and 100, then averaged with the other questions on that axis using the question weight supplied by the source content.

The result page shows the score, the direction of the axis, an intensity band, and a short conclusion tied to that axis. The 36-question and 60-question modes sample each axis evenly; Extended uses the full 240-question pool.

How to read a result

A strong score on one axis does not predict your score on another. Matches to ideologies, countries, people, and books are calculated as approximate vector similarities across all twelve scores. They are prompts for exploration, not diagnoses or endorsements.

What the test cannot do

This is an educational self-reflection tool. It does not measure political knowledge, forecast voting behavior, determine a person's identity, or replace reading primary sources and forming your own judgment.
