The profile in detail

Government and accountability. Structure: 44% Federal, 56% Unitary (Balanced); Representation: 61.3% Democracy, 38.7% Autocracy (Leaning 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; George Washington sits 3.8 points above it. 124 reference profiles share this band.

Civil power and culture. Power: 62.5% Security, 37.5% Liberty (Leaning Security); Immigration: 62.5% Assimilation, 37.5% Multiculturalism (Leaning 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; George Washington sits 3.7 points above it. 175 reference profiles share this band.

Force and foreign policy. Diplomacy: 52% Militarist, 48% Pacifist (Balanced); Intervention: 68.8% Non-interventionist, 31.2% Nationalist (Leaning Non-interventionist). 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; George Washington sits 20.0 points above it. 203 reference profiles share this band.

Ownership, coordination and trade. Economy: 35% Public, 65% Private (Leaning Private); Control: 43.8% Planning, 56.2% Free market (Balanced); Trade: 58.8% Protectionism, 41.2% Globalism (Leaning Protectionism). These ask three different questions: who owns, how activity is coordinated and how the economy engages abroad. The economic profile of George Washington depends on that combination, rather than a single left or right classification. On Economy, the 877-profile catalog median is 53.2% Public; George Washington sits 18.2 points below it. 179 reference profiles share this band.

Belief and social norms. Religion: 47% Irreligious, 53% Religious (Balanced); Morality: 42.5% Progressive, 57.5% Traditionalist (Leaning 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; George Washington sits 3.7 points above it. 197 reference profiles share this band.

Technology and limits. Technology: 48.8% Technology, 51.2% Biology (Balanced). This adds a perspective on innovation and biological continuity that cannot be inferred directly from the economic coordinates. For George Washington, the 1.2-point distance from the center indicates the intensity of this particular position. On Technology, the 877-profile catalog median is 57.5% Technology; George Washington sits 8.7 points below it. 225 reference profiles share this band.
