The profile in detail
Government and accountability. Structure: 38.8% Federal, 61.2% Unitary (Leaning Unitary); Representation: 40% Democracy, 60% Autocracy (Leaning 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; John D. Rockefeller sits 17.5 points below it. 99 reference profiles share this band.
Civil power and culture. Power: 67.5% Security, 32.5% 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; John D. Rockefeller sits 8.7 points above it. 175 reference profiles share this band.
Force and foreign policy. Diplomacy: 32.5% Militarist, 67.5% Pacifist (Leaning Pacifist); Intervention: 45% Non-interventionist, 55% 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; John D. Rockefeller sits 3.8 points below it. 167 reference profiles share this band.
Ownership, coordination and trade. Economy: 11.2% Public, 88.8% Private (Very strong Private); Control: 21.2% Planning, 78.8% Free market (Strong Free market); Trade: 30% Protectionism, 70% Globalism (Leaning Globalism). These ask three different questions: who owns, how activity is coordinated and how the economy engages abroad. The economic profile of John D. Rockefeller depends on that combination, rather than a single left or right classification. On Economy, the 877-profile catalog median is 53.2% Public; John D. Rockefeller sits 42.0 points below it. 36 reference profiles share this band.
Belief and social norms. Religion: 16.2% Irreligious, 83.8% Religious (Strong Religious); Morality: 8.8% Progressive, 91.2% Traditionalist (Very 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; John D. Rockefeller sits 30.0 points below it. 116 reference profiles share this band.
Technology and limits. Technology: 71.2% Technology, 28.8% Biology (Leaning Technology). This adds a perspective on innovation and biological continuity that cannot be inferred directly from the economic coordinates. For John D. Rockefeller, the 21.2-point distance from the center indicates the intensity of this particular position. On Technology, the 877-profile catalog median is 57.5% Technology; John D. Rockefeller sits 13.7 points above it. 299 reference profiles share this band.
