- 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: 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.
- Enforcement: Order. Safety is upstream of every other freedom; enforcement, consistently applied, is a public good the vulnerable need most.
- 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.
