The profile in detail
Government and accountability. Structure: 31.2% Federal, 68.8% Unitary (Leaning Unitary); Representation: 77.5% Democracy, 22.5% Autocracy (Strong Democracy). This combination separates where authority is located from how leaders are selected and constrained. It preserves those two choices even when a broad political label does not distinguish them. On Representation, the 877-profile catalog median is 57.5% Democracy; Colombia sits 20.0 points above it. 274 reference profiles share this band.
Civil power and culture. Power: 43.8% Security, 56.2% Liberty (Balanced); Immigration: 36.2% Assimilation, 63.8% Multiculturalism (Leaning Multiculturalism). The first contrast concerns limits on civil life; the second concerns cultural adaptation and plural identities. Reading them together avoids inferring an immigration position solely from a preference about security. On Power, the 877-profile catalog median is 58.8% Security; Colombia sits 15.0 points below it. 128 reference profiles share this band.
Force and foreign policy. Diplomacy: 32.5% Militarist, 67.5% Pacifist (Leaning Pacifist); Intervention: 55% Non-interventionist, 45% Nationalist (Balanced). Military capacity and projection of national interests are distinct choices in this model. These coordinates show how the profile combines military means and external objectives, without assuming that they always move together. On Intervention, the 877-profile catalog median is 48.8% Non-interventionist; Colombia sits 6.2 points above it. 167 reference profiles share this band.
Ownership, coordination and trade. Economy: 62.5% Public, 37.5% Private (Leaning Public); Control: 56.2% Planning, 43.8% Free market (Balanced); Trade: 50% Protectionism, 50% Globalism (Balanced). These ask three different questions: who owns, how activity is coordinated and how the economy engages abroad. The economic profile of Colombia depends on that combination, rather than a single left or right classification. On Economy, the 877-profile catalog median is 53.2% Public; Colombia sits 9.3 points above it. 166 reference profiles share this band.
Belief and social norms. Religion: 38.8% Irreligious, 61.2% Religious (Leaning Religious); Morality: 56.2% Progressive, 43.8% Traditionalist (Balanced). The model keeps religious influence separate from continuity in social norms. These values describe the reference profile; they do not assign a religion to someone who receives this match in the quiz. On Morality, the 877-profile catalog median is 38.8% Progressive; Colombia sits 17.4 points above it. 107 reference profiles share this band.
Technology and limits. Technology: 38.8% Technology, 61.2% Biology (Leaning Biology). This adds a perspective on innovation and biological continuity that cannot be inferred directly from the economic coordinates. For Colombia, the 11.2-point distance from the center indicates the intensity of this particular position. On Technology, the 877-profile catalog median is 57.5% Technology; Colombia sits 18.7 points below it. 117 reference profiles share this band.
