The 12 Axes political test groups its axes into four areas: government, diplomacy, economy and society. Each axis runs between two poles, and your score is the percent toward each one.
Tap an axis on the dial to read about it.
Federal. Power should sit with states, provinces and towns, and laws can differ from region to region.
Unitary. One strong national government should set the same laws for the whole country.
A statement from this axis: “The national government can't understand what the people need.”
Democratic. The people should decide, by vote and ideally issue by issue, and leaders answer to the majority.
Autocratic. Leaders chosen by merit, birth or the party should guide the country without depending on elections.
A statement from this axis: “The more people asked, the better chance there is of reaching the best decision.”
Security. The state should keep order with strong police, surveillance and limits on dissent when safety needs it.
Freedom. Government should stay out of private lives: free speech, privacy and civil liberties come before order.
A statement from this axis: “It is very important to maintain law and order.”
Internationalist. Nations should work together through alliances, world bodies and shared law, up to a world government.
Nationalist. Your own nation comes first: stay out of alliances and keep international law at arm's length.
A statement from this axis: “The United Nations should have a military to enforce its resolutions.”
Militarist. A strong army, military spending and the will to use force keep a country safe and respected.
Pacifist. Conflicts should be solved by talks and treaties, with lower military spending and war as the very last resort.
A statement from this axis: “Countries that do not serve our interests should be toppled.”
Assimilationist. Newcomers, if any, should adopt the national language and culture, with strict control of the borders.
Multiculturalist. Many cultures can live side by side, and foreigners deserve the same concern as citizens.
A statement from this axis: “If we accept migrants at all, it is important that they assimilate into our culture.”
Equality. Wealth and the means of production should be shared, with high taxes on the rich and strong welfare.
Markets. Private ownership, profit and low taxes reward work and build wealth better than redistribution.
A statement from this axis: “Classes should not exist.”
Planned. The state should plan and regulate the economy: prices, key industries and what gets produced.
Laissez-Faire. Markets work best when the government lets them run, with few rules and little regulation.
A statement from this axis: “High levels of economic regulation are good for my nation.”
Protectionist. Tariffs and local production protect jobs and keep the country self-sufficient.
Globalist. Free trade and global supply chains make goods cheaper and bring countries closer.
A statement from this axis: “The government must intervene in the foreign exchange market to raise import prices.”
Secular. Religion should stay out of law and public life, and many on this side doubt or reject faith itself.
Religious. Faith should guide personal life and the law, and religious institutions deserve a public role.
A statement from this axis: “There is no higher power.”
Progressive. Society should keep changing: wider rights for minorities and LGBT people, and new ways of living.
Traditional. Inherited morals, family and custom hold society together and the law should protect them.
A statement from this axis: “Traditions are of no value on their own.”
Acceleration. Science and technology, from AI to gene editing, should move as fast as possible to improve human life.
Bioconservative. Technology is moving too fast: slow it down, protect nature and keep older ways of living.
A statement from this axis: “I am a transhumanist.”

Streamers such as Asmongold took the 12 Axes test live in October 2026, and that is how most people found it. Their scores belong to their own videos; send your share link to friends to compare with the people you know.
All four tests ask you to agree or disagree with statements. They differ in how many axes they measure and how many questions they ask.
| Test | Axes | Questions | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 Axes | 12 | 36, 60 or 240 | 12 scores, closest ideology, countries and figures |
| 9Axes | 9 | 45 or 216 | 9 scores |
| 8values | 4 | 70 | 4 scores and an ideology |

Yes. The 12 Axes political test is free in every length, and so are the full result, the image card and the share link, with no account and no paywall.
You choose: 36 questions (5 minutes), 60 questions (8 minutes, the length of the original short quiz) or 240 questions (30 minutes). The original long quiz has 288; the 240 version asks 20 of its 24 statements per axis.
Longer is steadier. With 36 questions each axis rests on 3 statements, so one answer moves it a lot; with 240 each axis rests on 20. The result describes your answers on the day, not a fixed label.
Your answers are scored in your browser and never sent to us. Progress is kept in your browser so you can continue later. The share link carries only your 12 percentages.
