The profile in detail

Government and accountability. Structure: 31.8% Federal, 68.2% Unitary (Leaning Unitary); Representation: 16.2% Democracy, 83.8% Autocracy (Strong Autocracy). 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; 13th Dalai Lama (Thubten Gyatso) sits 41.3 points below it. 156 reference profiles share this band.

Civil power and culture. Power: 75.5% Security, 24.5% Liberty (Strong Security); Immigration: 86% Assimilation, 14% Multiculturalism (Strong Assimilation). 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; 13th Dalai Lama (Thubten Gyatso) sits 16.7 points above it. 179 reference profiles share this band.

Force and foreign policy. Diplomacy: 54.5% Militarist, 45.5% Pacifist (Balanced); Intervention: 57.4% Non-interventionist, 42.6% 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; 13th Dalai Lama (Thubten Gyatso) sits 8.6 points above it. 167 reference profiles share this band.

Ownership, coordination and trade. Economy: 50.6% Public, 49.4% Private (Balanced); Control: 62.4% Planning, 37.6% Free market (Leaning Planning); Trade: 81.2% Protectionism, 18.8% Globalism (Strong Protectionism). These ask three different questions: who owns, how activity is coordinated and how the economy engages abroad. The economic profile of 13th Dalai Lama (Thubten Gyatso) depends on that combination, rather than a single left or right classification. On Economy, the 877-profile catalog median is 53.2% Public; 13th Dalai Lama (Thubten Gyatso) sits 2.6 points below it. 207 reference profiles share this band.

Belief and social norms. Religion: 4.5% Irreligious, 95.5% Religious (Very strong Religious); Morality: 23.2% Progressive, 76.8% Traditionalist (Strong Traditionalist). 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; 13th Dalai Lama (Thubten Gyatso) sits 15.6 points below it. 182 reference profiles share this band.

Technology and limits. Technology: 20.2% Technology, 79.8% Biology (Strong Biology). This adds a perspective on innovation and biological continuity that cannot be inferred directly from the economic coordinates. For 13th Dalai Lama (Thubten Gyatso), the 29.8-point distance from the center indicates the intensity of this particular position. On Technology, the 877-profile catalog median is 57.5% Technology; 13th Dalai Lama (Thubten Gyatso) sits 37.3 points below it. 60 reference profiles share this band.
