1. Start with the percentages
On an axis, 70% toward one pole implies 30% toward the other. The number summarizes your answers to questions on that axis. It does not mean you agree with 70% of all policies associated with that pole.
A result near 50/50 indicates the midpoint of the answers. It may reflect moderate views or a combination of strong answers in opposite directions. By itself, it does not measure uncertainty or confidence.
2. Read compatibility as proximity
Compatibility compares your twelve scores with reference vectors. A high score means proximity inside this model, not complete adherence to an ideology or support for a person or regime.
Country and historical-person profiles are editorial simplifications. A person or country may change over time, contain internal disagreements and resist a single vector. Read descriptions and compare axes before interpreting the name at the top of the result.
3. Read the radar with its legend
The radar has one spoke per axis, numbered 01 through 12. Distance from the center represents the percentage toward the left pole. It does not represent extremism, moral worth or certainty.
The area of the shape does not measure how political or coherent someone is. The radar helps you recognize differences in shape; bars and percentages are the reference for exact comparisons.
4. Turn the result into questions
Which leanings surprise you? Did you interpret a question differently from its intended meaning? Does your view depend on context? Use Back or answer editing to explore different readings.
The longer version can examine more examples of the same topic. It does not guarantee greater truth or eliminate the limits of the model. The goal is reflection and conversation, not a permanent label.
