The profile in detail
Government and accountability. Structure: 31.2% Federal, 68.8% Unitary (Leaning Unitary); Representation: 48.8% Democracy, 51.2% Autocracy (Balanced). 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; Leon Trotsky sits 8.7 points below it. 80 reference profiles share this band.
Civil power and culture. Power: 73.8% Security, 26.2% Liberty (Strong Security); Immigration: 21.2% Assimilation, 78.8% Multiculturalism (Strong 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; Leon Trotsky sits 15.0 points above it. 179 reference profiles share this band.
Force and foreign policy. Diplomacy: 78.8% Militarist, 21.2% Pacifist (Strong Militarist); Intervention: 52.5% Non-interventionist, 47.5% 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; Leon Trotsky sits 3.7 points above it. 167 reference profiles share this band.
Ownership, coordination and trade. Economy: 93.8% Public, 6.2% Private (Very strong Public); Control: 93.8% Planning, 6.2% Free market (Very strong Planning); Trade: 70% Protectionism, 30% Globalism (Leaning Protectionism). These ask three different questions: who owns, how activity is coordinated and how the economy engages abroad. The economic profile of Leon Trotsky depends on that combination, rather than a single left or right classification. On Economy, the 877-profile catalog median is 53.2% Public; Leon Trotsky sits 40.6 points above it. 83 reference profiles share this band.
Belief and social norms. Religion: 95% Irreligious, 5% Religious (Very strong Irreligious); Morality: 73.8% Progressive, 26.2% Traditionalist (Strong Progressive). 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; Leon Trotsky sits 35.0 points above it. 103 reference profiles share this band.
Technology and limits. Technology: 86.2% Technology, 13.8% Biology (Strong Technology). This adds a perspective on innovation and biological continuity that cannot be inferred directly from the economic coordinates. For Leon Trotsky, the 36.2-point distance from the center indicates the intensity of this particular position. On Technology, the 877-profile catalog median is 57.5% Technology; Leon Trotsky sits 28.7 points above it. 132 reference profiles share this band.
