The profile in detail

Government and accountability. Structure: 45% Federal, 55% Unitary (Balanced); Representation: 79.9% Democracy, 20.1% 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; Mark Carney sits 22.4 points above it. 274 reference profiles share this band.

Civil power and culture. Power: 44.9% Security, 55.1% Liberty (Balanced); Immigration: 39% Assimilation, 61% 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; Mark Carney sits 13.9 points below it. 128 reference profiles share this band.

Force and foreign policy. Diplomacy: 50.5% Militarist, 49.5% Pacifist (Balanced); Intervention: 36.4% Non-interventionist, 63.6% Nationalist (Leaning Nationalist). 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; Mark Carney sits 12.4 points below it. 187 reference profiles share this band.

Ownership, coordination and trade. Economy: 47.2% Public, 52.8% Private (Balanced); Control: 40.2% Planning, 59.8% Free market (Leaning Free market); Trade: 43.7% Protectionism, 56.3% Globalism (Balanced). These ask three different questions: who owns, how activity is coordinated and how the economy engages abroad. The economic profile of Mark Carney depends on that combination, rather than a single left or right classification. On Economy, the 877-profile catalog median is 53.2% Public; Mark Carney sits 6.0 points below it. 207 reference profiles share this band.

Belief and social norms. Religion: 59.5% Irreligious, 40.5% Religious (Leaning Irreligious); Morality: 74% Progressive, 26% 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; Mark Carney sits 35.2 points above it. 103 reference profiles share this band.

Technology and limits. Technology: 65.5% Technology, 34.5% Biology (Leaning Technology). This adds a perspective on innovation and biological continuity that cannot be inferred directly from the economic coordinates. For Mark Carney, the 15.5-point distance from the center indicates the intensity of this particular position. On Technology, the 877-profile catalog median is 57.5% Technology; Mark Carney sits 8.0 points above it. 299 reference profiles share this band.
