Understand the 12 axes
Strong Globalism: Trade
12.6–27.5% Protectionism · 72.5–87.4% Globalism
What this band means
Strong Globalism covers 12.6–27.5% Protectionism. Your answers favor Globalism, with a strong preference in this part of the questionnaire. Protectionism gives greater weight to domestic production, economic self-reliance and measures that shelter national industries. Globalism favors international trade, cross-border integration and fewer barriers to the movement of goods and capital. Trade openness is distinct from cultural openness and from military alliances. Someone can favor international commerce while preferring strict immigration rules or a restrained foreign policy. 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.
