Understand the 12 axes
Strong Liberty: Power
12.6–27.5% Security · 72.5–87.4% Liberty
What this band means
Strong Liberty covers 12.6–27.5% Security. Your answers favor Liberty, with a strong preference in this part of the questionnaire. Security gives greater weight to public order, enforcement and state intervention in civil life. Liberty gives greater weight to privacy, personal autonomy, expression and limits on coercion. These priorities can conflict when policies promise collective protection at an individual cost. This is a civil-power axis. It does not directly measure government spending or determine whether public services should be privately owned. 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.
