What is 12axes.vercel.app?

A web address where a version of the 12 axes test has been hosted.

The vercel.app part is the domain that Vercel, a web hosting platform, gives to projects deployed there. That is why addresses like this one are easy to create, and also why they can change or go offline.

The 12 axes test belongs to a family of online political tests that began with 8values, grew into 9axes and then became 12axes. Many people look it up by its address, which is why this page exists.

How does this site relate to it?

Related in subject, separate in everything else.

  • A separate project

    This site is independent. It has its own statements, explanations and code, and it is not affiliated with that site, its authors or Vercel.

  • Eleven axes in common

    Eleven axes cover closely related ideas there and here, sometimes under another name, such as Liberty and Freedom. The foreign-policy axis is defined differently, so it needs one adjustment when you enter your scores.

  • More around the test

    Country and ideology matching, an axis guide, a glossary, and word-by-word explanations inside the test.

How do you use your scores from another version?

Three steps, no sign-up.

  1. 1

    Find your twelve percentages

    Open your result on the other site and note the percentage for each axis.

  2. 2

    Set each slider

    Each slider shows two percentages that add up to 100. Match axes by pole name, and move the slider until the right-hand pole shows the percentage your result gave for that pole. The Intervention axis (non-interventionist to nationalist) has no counterpart here, so leave the Nationalism vs Internationalism slider at 50%.

  3. 3

    Read your matches

    Countries and ideologies re-rank as you move the sliders. Open any of them to see why it matches, and copy the link to save or share your setup.

Why might your results differ between sites?

Two tests on similar axes can still give different numbers.

  • Different statements

    Each test words its own statements, so your agreement can shift from one to the other.

  • Different scoring

    Tests weigh answers and handle skipped statements in their own ways. Read how this site scores on the methodology page.

  • Different lengths

    A short test rests on fewer answers per axis, so each score moves more. Expect differences of a few points, and sometimes more.
