How 12 Axes Test differs from the 16 Values Test
The 12 axes test measures your political views along twelve axes organised into three families: the economy (equality, markets, ownership, welfare), state power (democracy, authority, centralisation, federalism) and society (nationalism, tradition, security, culture).
This is a well-balanced set for people who care about how power works: who decides, how concentrated that power should be, how regions relate to the centre, and how much freedom society should trade for security.
The security axis deserves a special mention — it measures how willing you are to trade personal freedom for public safety and order, a question that rarely appears in simpler tests but is central to modern political debate.
Compared with the 16 values test, the 12 axes version omits the four worldview dimensions (science, technology, individualism, pragmatism). If you want to know how you think about evidence, innovation and the individual versus the group, the 16 values test is the one for you.
