Understand the 12 axes
Very strong Free market: Control
0–12.5% Planning · 87.5–100% Free market
What this band means
Very strong Free market covers 0–12.5% Planning. Your answers favor Free market, with a very pronounced preference in this part of the questionnaire. Planning emphasizes regulation, public coordination and active economic policy. Free market emphasizes decentralized competition, voluntary exchange and limited intervention. This axis asks how economic decisions are organized, rather than simply who owns a business. An answer about market rules should not be read as a complete view of welfare or property. The three economic axes are reported separately so that such combinations remain visible. This band describes the direction and distance of your score from the center, rather than the percentage of people who agree with you. Two people in the same band can still disagree on particular policies. Their remaining eleven axes may also differ substantially. Use the sample statements to identify the trade-offs that produced this part of your result. The catalog examples below offer points of comparison within the model; they are not a survey of quiz participants.
