How your answers
become a profile.

Simple, visible arithmetic. No hidden personality model, political endorsements, or definitive labels.

1. Twelve separate subjects

Our original question bank contains 72 statements: six for each of twelve dimensions. The quick test uses the first three statements from each dimension (36 total). The full test uses all six (72 total). Questions alternate between dimensions so the same topic does not dominate a stretch of the test.

2. Five response options

Each response has a numerical value: strongly agree = +2, agree = +1, neutral / unsure = 0, disagree = −1, and strongly disagree = −2. Each statement also has a direction: +1 when agreement points toward the first pole of its dimension, and −1 when agreement points toward the second pole.

3. An average, shown as a percentage

For each axis, multiply each response by its direction, add the values, and divide by the number of statements on that axis. This gives an average from −2 to +2. We convert it into a first-pole percentage:

First-pole score = 50 + 25 × average directed response

The result is rounded to the nearest whole percent. The second-pole percentage is 100 minus that result. For example, an average of +1 becomes 75% toward the first pole and 25% toward the second. If every answer is neutral, every axis is 50 / 50.

4. Reading your chart

The radar chart plots the first-pole percentage on each axis. The outside edge is 100% toward the first pole; the center is 0%. The midpoint is 50%. A larger polygon is not better, more informed, more extreme, or more consistent. The paired bars and descriptions are the clearest way to read the separate scores.

What this model cannot tell you

The questionnaire has not been independently validated or calibrated against a representative population. The percentages are a scoring convention, not probabilities, percentiles, or measures of certainty. A 50 / 50 score can mean neutrality, uncertainty, or a mixture of opposing answers.

Some topics overlap. Wording, culture, language, and context can influence answers. The quick version has only three statements per axis and can change substantially with one response. Even the full version covers only a small part of political thought. Neither version estimates a confidence interval.

We do not infer your party, voting behavior, religion, nationality, personality, or similarity to a real person. Use the results to ask better questions about your priorities.

Version and independence

This is questionnaire version 1. It uses independently written statements and a transparent scoring method inspired by the general format of multi-axis political quizzes. Our axes and scores are not interchangeable with those of other websites called 12 Axes. We are not affiliated with 12axes.net, 12axes.vercel.app, Political Compass, or their authors.
