How the four values are scored

Each answer applies the source’s multiplier to the question’s economic, diplomatic, civic and societal effects. The total on each value pair is normalized by the maximum possible effect for that pair and rounded to one decimal place, as in the original 8values scoring rule.

Equality–Markets, Globe–Nation, Liberty–Authority and Progress–Tradition are the four pairs. The opposite ends of each pair add to 100%.

The closest match is the nearest of the 52 ideologies listed by 8values, found with its own distance rule. The closest figure, country and historical state are added by this site: your four scores are compared with the four matching axes of the 12 Axes registers.
