How it works

Your answers place you on 20 axes. We compare your profile with documented political views and with ideologies, using both their definitions and the figures associated with them.

Country comparisons use published survey questions. Each question keeps its wording, year and source; coverage varies by country.

This is a way to explore ideas. Similarity on these axes does not mean agreement with everything a figure said or did.

Sources. Positions: writings, documented policies and historical studies. Surveys: CIS, Pew Research Center, GSS, CES, INEGI and Eurobarometer. Inferred positions and historical analogies are editorial interpretations.
