- Economics: Market. Prosperity and fairness come mostly from competition, price signals, and keeping government's footprint small.
- Culture: Traditional. Long-standing institutions of family and faith encode hard-won wisdom; change should be slow, with the burden of proof on the reformer.
- Race and sex: Colorblind. Fairness means the same rules for every individual; past injustice is best remedied by equal treatment going forward.
- World: Global engagement. American safety and prosperity are built through trade, alliances, and leadership; withdrawal is the costlier path.
- Enforcement: Order. Safety is upstream of every other freedom; enforcement, consistently applied, is a public good the vulnerable need most.
- System: Institutional. Institutions and experts are imperfect but still the best tools a society has; reform comes from within them.
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.
