Is the 12 Axes test free?
Yes. The 12 Axes political test is free in every length, and so are the full result, the image card and the share link, with no account and no paywall.
How do you take the 12 Axes test?
Pick 36, 60 or 240 questions at the top of the page. Each statement appears on its own: tap one of the seven dots, from Agree to Disagree, and the next one follows. Previous takes you back, and your progress is saved. After the last statement your result appears in the page with a card and a link to share.
How many questions does 12axes have?
You choose: 36 questions (5 minutes), 60 questions (8 minutes, the length of the original short quiz) or 240 questions (30 minutes). The original long quiz has 288; the 240 version asks 20 of its 24 statements per axis.
How accurate is the result?
Longer is steadier. With 36 questions each axis rests on 3 statements, so one answer moves it a lot; with 240 each axis rests on 20. The result describes your answers on the day, not a fixed label.
Is 12axes safe? Do you save my answers?
Your answers are scored in your browser and never sent to us. Progress is kept in your browser so you can continue later. The share link carries only your 12 percentages.
The original 12axes site is not working. Can I take it here?
Yes. When the original page or a copy shows "failed to fetch" or will not load, take it here: this site is an independent version built on the same MIT-licensed question bank, so the statements and the scoring rules are the original ones.
Which languages is the test in?
English, Spanish and Portuguese. Every statement is written for each language, and your share link opens in the language you pick.
Where do the questions come from?
From the 12axes question bank published on GitHub by the politicaltests project under the MIT License (copyright 8values / SapplyValues). We fixed typos and wrote the Spanish and Portuguese versions.
How is my closest ideology chosen?
Each of the 64 ideologies has a score on all 12 axes. We take the average distance between your scores and each profile, and the smallest distance wins. The match percent drops 2 points for every point of average distance.
Can I compare my result with friends?
Yes. Copy your share link and send it. When a friend who has taken the test opens it, they see both results side by side, axis by axis.
