The profile in detail

Government and accountability. Structure: 51.2% Federal, 48.8% Unitary (Balanced); Representation: 76.2% Democracy, 23.8% 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; Tarcísio de Freitas sits 18.7 points above it. 274 reference profiles share this band.

Civil power and culture. Power: 71.2% Security, 28.8% Liberty (Leaning Security); Immigration: 58.8% Assimilation, 41.2% 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; Tarcísio de Freitas sits 12.4 points above it. 175 reference profiles share this band.

Force and foreign policy. Diplomacy: 56.2% Militarist, 43.8% Pacifist (Balanced); Intervention: 46.2% Non-interventionist, 53.8% 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; Tarcísio de Freitas sits 2.6 points below it. 167 reference profiles share this band.

Ownership, coordination and trade. Economy: 25% Public, 75% Private (Strong Private); Control: 27.5% Planning, 72.5% Free market (Strong Free market); Trade: 36.2% Protectionism, 63.8% Globalism (Leaning Globalism). These ask three different questions: who owns, how activity is coordinated and how the economy engages abroad. The economic profile of Tarcísio de Freitas depends on that combination, rather than a single left or right classification. On Economy, the 877-profile catalog median is 53.2% Public; Tarcísio de Freitas sits 28.2 points below it. 74 reference profiles share this band.

Belief and social norms. Religion: 21.2% Irreligious, 78.8% Religious (Strong Religious); Morality: 25% Progressive, 75% Traditionalist (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; Tarcísio de Freitas sits 13.8 points below it. 182 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 Tarcísio de Freitas, 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; Tarcísio de Freitas sits 13.7 points above it. 299 reference profiles share this band.
