Test library

Every test, and what each one actually measures

Six instruments, one of them live. The rest are listed with what they will measure and what they will report, because a library page that only shows finished work tells you nothing about what the finished work is for.

Political Spectrum Test

Where do your instincts actually sit on economics, social change, personal liberty and national belonging? Four axes are scored separately, so you get a shape rather than a side. Most people find at least one axis lands somewhere they did not expect.

What it reports

  • Four axis scores
  • Named profile
  • Match percentage
  • Full written report

Axis positions and your profile name are free. The full written report is part of a paid plan — see pricing.

In development

Each of these is blocked on the same thing: item wording that survives a reverse-keying pass without the axis falling apart. Until then, the linked article covers the same ground properly.

Personality Structure Test

Trait models describe how much of something you have, not which box you belong in. This test will report five continuous dimensions with the confidence interval around each one, so a score near the middle reads as "near the middle" instead of being rounded into a label.

Will report

  • Five trait scores
  • Facet breakdown
  • Confidence bands

Core Values Test

Everyone says they value fairness, security and freedom. The interesting question is which one you sacrifice when they collide. This test will use forced-choice pairs instead of agree/disagree, because agreement scales let you keep every value at maximum.

Will report

  • Ranked value set
  • Trade-off map
  • Conflict notes

Cognitive Style Test

Two people can hold the same position for completely different reasons. This test will look at need for closure, tolerance of ambiguity, and how much you weight a concrete example against an abstract principle. It measures process, not conclusions.

Will report

  • Reasoning profile
  • Ambiguity tolerance
  • Revision tendency

Conflict Style Test

Avoid, accommodate, compete, compromise or collaborate — most people have one default and one fallback under pressure. This test will separate what you do in low-stakes friction from what you do when something you care about is on the line.

Will report

  • Primary style
  • Under-pressure fallback
  • Pairing notes

Moral Foundations Test

Care, fairness, loyalty, authority, sanctity and liberty operate as fast intuitions — the reasoning arrives afterwards to justify them. This test will measure the relative weight you place on each foundation, which explains a great deal about why a claim that persuades you leaves someone else cold.

Will report

  • Six foundation scores
  • Dominant intuitions
  • Blind-spot notes

Why the library is short

Writing a hundred plausible-sounding questions takes an afternoon. Writing thirty-six that measure four separable things, with half of them reversed and none of them leaning on a current dispute, takes considerably longer — and it is the only part that decides whether the result means anything.

So the library grows slowly. Every test here ships with its scoring rules published, or it does not ship.

Start with the one that exists

Four axes. Thirty-six statements. About five minutes.

You will have your position on every axis before anything is asked of you, and the scoring rules are public if you want to check the arithmetic.

Free to take. No account needed to see where you land.
