Social-Developmentalism
Model associated with Brazil's Workers' Party governments that seeks growth with social inclusion, combining rising minimum wages, popular credit, cash transfers and public banks without breaking with the market.
I want growth that shares income, with rising minimum wages, credit and public banks, broad alliances and the market kept in place.Compare your own views

The profile in detail
Government and accountability. Structure: 32.5% Federal, 67.5% Unitary (Leaning Unitary); 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; Social-Developmentalism sits 18.7 points above it. 274 reference profiles share this band.
Civil power and culture. Power: 53.8% Security, 46.2% Liberty (Balanced); Immigration: 28.7% Assimilation, 71.3% 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; Social-Developmentalism sits 5.0 points below it. 128 reference profiles share this band.
Force and foreign policy. Diplomacy: 26.2% Militarist, 73.8% Pacifist (Strong Pacifist); Intervention: 63.7% Non-interventionist, 36.3% 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; Social-Developmentalism sits 14.9 points above it. 203 reference profiles share this band.
Ownership, coordination and trade. Economy: 75% Public, 25% Private (Strong Public); Control: 72.5% Planning, 27.5% Free market (Strong Planning); Trade: 57.5% Protectionism, 42.5% Globalism (Leaning Protectionism). These ask three different questions: who owns, how activity is coordinated and how the economy engages abroad. The economic profile of Social-Developmentalism depends on that combination, rather than a single left or right classification. On Economy, the 877-profile catalog median is 53.2% Public; Social-Developmentalism sits 21.8 points above it. 132 reference profiles share this band.
Belief and social norms. Religion: 51.2% Irreligious, 48.8% Religious (Balanced); Morality: 61.3% Progressive, 38.7% Traditionalist (Leaning 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; Social-Developmentalism sits 22.5 points above it. 151 reference profiles share this band.
Technology and limits. Technology: 58.8% Technology, 41.2% Biology (Leaning Technology). This adds a perspective on innovation and biological continuity that cannot be inferred directly from the economic coordinates. For Social-Developmentalism, the 8.8-point distance from the center indicates the intensity of this particular position. On Technology, the 877-profile catalog median is 57.5% Technology; Social-Developmentalism sits 1.3 points above it. 299 reference profiles share this band.
