MindPolis measures where you stand across 8 dimensions — the real axes of modern political disagreement. Built on political psychology research, not internet quizzes.
The problem
Most political tests ask whether you agree with statements designed to confirm your existing label. MindPolis presents genuine trade-off scenarios — situations where no option is purely correct — to reveal the underlying value structures that actually drive political orientation. The result is a profile, not a position.
The framework
Who should control the allocation of goods and capital? How should production, distribution, and ownership be structured in a society?
How should society balance individual freedoms against collective order? Where does legitimate authority end and personal autonomy begin?
How should societies relate to inherited institutions, norms, and practices? Is continuity a virtue or an obstacle to justice?
Where does legitimate political authority end — at the national border or beyond it? How should sovereignty relate to international integration?
What is the purpose of punishment and how should wrongs be addressed? Does justice require retribution, restoration, or prevention?
How should societies balance environmental limits with economic development? Is growth compatible with sustainability, or fundamentally in tension with it?
Which systems of governance deserve our confidence and deference? How much authority should be delegated to formal institutions?
How should societies manage cultural difference and social unity? Is pluralism a source of strength or of fragmentation?
How it works
You're presented with realistic policy trade-offs and dilemmas — not loaded statements. No purely correct answer, only value-revealing choices.
Multiple dimensions are measured simultaneously. This detects inconsistency patterns and provides a highly nuanced profile.

What you get
Instead of reducing your worldview to a single dot on a 2D compass, you receive a rigorous breakdown of the structural morals and socio-economic frameworks that inform your choices.
See precisely where you land across all 8 major axes, from economic organization to institutional trust.
Discover where your values challenge standard partisan dogmas and where you hold conflicting moral priorities.
Read generated executive summaries that capture the essence of your political cognition in a few paragraphs.
View your past assessment data chronologically to analyze how your fundamental values evolve over time.
Methodology
Read more about our scientific framework →The framework draws from Haidt's Moral Foundations Theory, Inglehart's World Values Survey dimensions, Jost's political cognition research, and Stenner's authoritarianism studies.
MindPolis v0.1 is a theory-informed instrument, not yet a formally validated psychometric tool. It lacks factor analysis or test-retest reliability measurement.
Each question option carries weighted scores for its primary axis (±2) and secondary axes (±1). Final axis scores are normalized to [−1, +1].
MindPolis does not tell you your "correct" political position, predict voting behavior, or classify you into a party affiliation. It maps the underlying value structures.
