What we measure

Explore Your Political Values

Four dimensions instead of one line — because “left” and “right” alone can’t describe how you think about money, freedom, tradition, or the world.

Economy

How wealth should be created and shared — the role of markets, taxes, and the welfare state.

Economic leftEconomic right
Keynes believed markets need steering ↔ Friedman believed markets work best free.

Civil Liberties

Freedom versus order — privacy, speech, policing, and how much power the state should have.

Liberty firstOrder first
Jefferson put liberty first ↔ Hamilton put a strong union first.

Society

How fast society should change — family, faith, identity, and whose traditions set the rules.

Open to changeHold to tradition
Beauvoir believed society can be remade ↔ Burke believed institutions carry wisdom.

Global Outlook

Nation or world first — trade, borders, treaties, and how much sovereignty to pool.

One worldNation first
Kant imagined cooperation across borders ↔ de Gaulle put the nation first.

Questions, Answered

Is the Political Spectrum Test really free?

Yes — no sign-up, no paywall, no ads. Answer 24 statements, see your result immediately, and share it if you like.

Do you store my answers?

No. Scoring runs entirely in your browser. Your answers and result are saved only on your own device so you can pause and come back; nothing is uploaded to a server.

What are the four dimensions?

Economy (public versus market), civil liberties (liberty versus order), society (open to change versus tradition), and global outlook (cooperation versus national sovereignty). Six questions measure each one.

Will I get a single label?

You get a political map, four axis scores, and your closest ideology matches. No single label captures a whole worldview — treat the result as a starting point for reflection, not a verdict.

How does the political map work?

The map plots two of your four scores: the horizontal axis is economic left versus right, and the vertical axis is civil liberties versus authority. Society and global outlook are shown as separate bars.

Is this the same as the Political Compass?

No. It belongs to the same tradition of multi-axis political quizzes, but the questions, scoring, and ideology matching here are original — and this site is not affiliated with any other test or website.

Can I share my result?

Yes. You can copy a link that carries only your four dimension scores, share it directly on mobile, or download your map as an image. Your individual answers are never included.

How accurate are the results?

The test is an educational self-reflection tool, not a validated psychological instrument. It is transparent about how scoring works — read the methodology page for the exact rules and its limitations.

Why 24 questions?

Six questions per dimension is enough to place you reliably on each axis while keeping the test to about five minutes. Quality over quantity: every question maps to a specific dimension.

Can I retake the test?

Yes, as often as you like. Retaking after a few weeks can show whether your views shift — the test is free and anonymous every time.
