The types

What is a Economic Populist?

Public programs and a rigged-system view, skeptical of trade and entanglement abroad; culture and race questions are secondary.

Where it leans

Hover over or tap a topic to see the exact reading.

  • Economics: State. Markets are powerful but incomplete; a decent society uses public programs and rules to secure what markets won't.
  • World: National focus. A government's first duty runs to its own citizens, workers, and borders; entanglement abroad and open flows are costs to be justified.
  • System: Populist. The system is run by insiders for insiders; the judgment of ordinary people deserves more weight than credentialed elites.

How the name is assigned

The poll asks 36 scored questions, six per axis, each a choice between two statements written by someone who holds that view. Your answers place you on each axis, and the name is the template your profile matches most closely. A profile that matches none of them closely enough is Cross-Pressured. Names are hypotheses until the data confirms them; the methodology page says how we test them.
