What the full version adds
The full test asks twenty-four statements in each of twelve topic areas. Its 288 questions include the 60-question subset and additional statements that explore more policy trade-offs. Each axis has twelve statements keyed toward each pole. Questions progress by axis, so you can see which topic you are considering as you answer.
Make room to think
A longer questionnaire takes sustained attention. Read the full statement before choosing a response, and use Neutral / unsure when appropriate. You can use the Back button to revisit questions before finishing. The current tab normally retains progress across reloads. The quick and full versions have separate saved states, so switching questionnaire lengths does not translate or merge their answers.
What does the extra length prove?
Length alone does not prove reliability or accuracy. More items cover more situations, but they can also introduce fatigue or wording effects. We have not established population benchmarks, test–retest reliability or statistical independence for these twelve axes. Use the full test for deeper reflection, not as a credential or assessment of somebody else’s political fitness.
Compare with a short result carefully
Record which version you took and when. A full-test Economy score and a quick-test Economy score summarise different sets of responses, even though they share a label and formula. Look for statements that explain a change instead of treating a small percentage difference as a precise measurement. When finished, the results screen links to explanations and lets you review answers or print the result.
