Understand the 12 axes
Very strong Democracy: Representation
87.5–100% Democracy · 0–12.5% Autocracy
What this band means
Very strong Democracy covers 87.5–100% Democracy. Your answers favor Democracy, with a very pronounced preference in this part of the questionnaire. Democracy emphasizes participation, competitive elections, opposition, deliberation and institutional restraints. Autocracy emphasizes concentrated leadership, inherited authority, rule by experts or continued government without competitive popular authorization. A preference for effective administration is not automatically a preference for autocracy. The questionnaire asks which safeguards and forms of participation should survive disagreements or difficult circumstances. 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.
