Political profile test

Where are you on the political map?

Say whether you agree or disagree with statements from today’s debates, from the economy to defence. At the end you see your profile on eight axes and the closest Portuguese parties, compared with positions measured by experts.

The eight axes

  • EconomyState that redistributes ↔ Free market
  • Social valuesProgress ↔ Tradition
  • LibertiesRights and safeguards ↔ Law and order
  • ImmigrationOpenness ↔ Control
  • EuropeMore integration ↔ More sovereignty
  • EnvironmentClimate first ↔ Growth first
  • DefenceDeterrence and investment ↔ Restraint and disarmament
  • AlliancesNATO and the Atlantic ↔ Autonomy and non-alignment

How it works

Each answer pulls its axis towards one side: «strongly agree» counts 2, «agree» 1, the middle 0, «disagree» −1 and «strongly disagree» −2, with the sign flipped when the statement belongs to the other side. Each axis runs from 0 to 100; 50 is the middle. «Don’t know» does not count.

Parties are placed where the 2024 Chapel Hill Expert Survey puts them, an academic survey in which experts rate each European party. We use the Portuguese averages on six axes: economy (lrecon), social values (galtan), liberties (civlib_laworder), immigration (immigrate_policy), Europe (eu_position) and environment (climate_change). Closeness is 100 minus the average gap on those axes.

Defence and Alliances count for your profile but not yet for the comparison with parties: only one to three experts answered the question on Russia for Portugal, too few for a serious figure. Veramundi does not rate people: leaders appear only as the face of their party.
