Before you begin
A political value can change with circumstances, and no set of 60 statements can represent every relevant distinction. Treat the result as a map of these questions, then read the individual axes and challenge anything that feels too broad.
Use Neutral / unsure when the missing context would materially change your view. The test is more useful when you avoid guessing what an ideal answer is supposed to be.
Yes. Use the Back control or the left arrow key. Changing an earlier response removes later responses so the scoring sequence remains clear.
Using both directions reduces the chance that repeatedly agreeing with every statement produces an artificial lean toward one pole.
