Milton Friedman

Government and accountability. Structure: 81.3% Federal, 18.7% Unitary (Strong Federal); Representation: 67.5% Democracy, 32.5% 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; Milton Friedman sits 10.0 points above it. 124 reference profiles share this band.

Civil power and culture. Power: 17.5% Security, 82.5% Liberty (Strong Liberty); Immigration: 31.3% Assimilation, 68.7% 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; Milton Friedman sits 41.3 points below it. 87 reference profiles share this band.

Force and foreign policy. Diplomacy: 41.3% Militarist, 58.7% Pacifist (Leaning Pacifist); Intervention: 62.5% Non-interventionist, 37.5% 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; Milton Friedman sits 13.7 points above it. 203 reference profiles share this band.

Ownership, coordination and trade. Economy: 11.3% Public, 88.7% Private (Very strong Private); Control: 10% Planning, 90% Free market (Very strong Free market); Trade: 10% Protectionism, 90% Globalism (Very strong Globalism). These ask three different questions: who owns, how activity is coordinated and how the economy engages abroad. The economic profile of Milton Friedman depends on that combination, rather than a single left or right classification. On Economy, the 877-profile catalog median is 53.2% Public; Milton Friedman sits 41.9 points below it. 36 reference profiles share this band.

Belief and social norms. Religion: 61.3% Irreligious, 38.7% Religious (Leaning Irreligious); Morality: 50% Progressive, 50% Traditionalist (Balanced). 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; Milton Friedman sits 11.2 points above it. 107 reference profiles share this band.

Technology and limits. Technology: 73.8% Technology, 26.2% Biology (Strong Technology). This adds a perspective on innovation and biological continuity that cannot be inferred directly from the economic coordinates. For Milton Friedman, the 23.8-point distance from the center indicates the intensity of this particular position. On Technology, the 877-profile catalog median is 57.5% Technology; Milton Friedman sits 16.3 points above it. 132 reference profiles share this band.
