10groups
10groups vs 12 Axes
10groups is a separate project. Its own page calls it a political compass test that places your beliefs on a variety of coordinate charts, built from parts of SapplyValues and 8values. This page compares that description with the test on this site. It will not show you a 10groups result.
Take the 12 Axes testWhat its own page says it does
The 10groups page says you are shown a statement and answer from strongly agree to strongly disagree, and that each answer moves the scores slightly. It says there are 83 questions. At the end, it says your answers are displayed on a political compass. It also says the test examines beliefs on a variety of charts, not on a single one.
That page names ten categories: Regular, Economic, Governmental, Diplomatic, Societal, Technological, Law, Cultural, Procedural and Political. Each category is a pair of lines. Regular, for example, is left-right and authoritarian-libertarian. Economic is socialist-capitalist and planned-laissez-faire. The page gives each pair a short gloss. Those names and glosses are the project's own. This site has not re-scored the questions and does not add counts the page does not state.
10groups credits 8values and SapplyValues as sources it is partly based on, and it says it is released under the same licence, with the required notice. It is still its own quiz, with its own statements. The twelve-axis test on this site is another descendant of that open-source family, with a different question bank and a different result.
Ten charts beside one twelve-score profile
Same kind of search, different pictures at the end. Only the last row is this website. Read the limit before you treat a chart as a fact about yourself.
| Quiz | How you answer | What comes back | Where it lives |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10groups | Strongly agree to strongly disagree | Ten coordinate charts, from 83 statements, as its page describes them | 10groups.github.io |
| SapplyValues | Agree or disagree | A compass plus a third axis, from 46 statements | Open source, and also on this site |
| 9Axes | Agree or disagree, including a neutral | Nine percentages, from 45 or 216 statements | 9axes.github.io, and an independent copy here |
| 12 Axes test | Agree or disagree on seven steps, including a neutral | Twelve scores, a compass position, closest ideology, country and figure | This website |
10groups, SapplyValues, 9Axes and the projects they descend from are independent of this site. The description of 10groups follows its public page and nothing further. Question weights and ideology lists that the page does not state are left unstated.
How this quiz differs from 10groups
Here you rate one statement at a time, from strongly agree to strongly disagree, with a neutral step in the middle, on a seven-step scale. The standard length is 60 statements, about nine minutes. There is a short version of 36 and a full version of 288. The result is twelve percentages in four groups, not ten separate charts.
Two of those percentages, Economy and Power, are also drawn as a compass position, so the familiar dot is included. Four percentages are compared with 38 ideologies, and you see the runners-up. Eight further scores pick the closest country and historical figure. Nothing on the result is a 10groups chart.
The method is published, and there is no account. If you wanted the ten charts described above, use the project that draws them. If you wanted one profile of twelve scores, stay on this site. The two quizzes can be taken separately. A difference in the picture is a difference in the questions.
Which one to open
- 10groups
- You want the ten category charts that project's page names, from its 83 statements. That quiz is not hosted here.
- SapplyValues
- You want the three-axis quiz 10groups says it drew on. You can take that test on this site, in the original wording, or on the original project.
- 9Axes
- You want nine percentages rather than ten charts. That quiz is a different project, and this site hosts an independent copy.
- 12 Axes
- You want twelve separate scores and the compass position that two of them already imply. The standard length is about nine minutes.

Open 10groups.github.ioQuestions about 10groups
Is this 10groups?
No. 10groups is the project at 10groups.github.io. This page is a comparison written by 12 Axes Test. We are not affiliated with it, and we do not host its questions.
How many questions does 10groups say it has?
Its own page says 83 questions, answered from strongly agree to strongly disagree, and ten categories of charts. This site does not add a different count.
Why would a 10groups chart and a twelve-axis score differ?
Because the questions are different. Ten pairs of lines are not twelve single percentages, and 83 statements are not the bank used here. A difference in the picture is not a mistake in either quiz.
Is either result accurate?
No political quiz is a validated measuring instrument. Read both, if you take both, as summaries of the answers you gave that day.
Can I take both?
Yes. They are separate quizzes. Start with the one that matches the picture you want, and use the other if you want a second description. Neither one tells you how to vote.
