What does the 8values test measure?
Looking for an “8 axes test”? The 8values test measures eight values on four axes, with two opposing values on each scale. You can lean toward one side on economics and another on civil liberties.
- Equality / Markets
- Economic decisions: redistribution and public provision versus market allocation. A mixed score can reflect support for both public services and private enterprise.
- Globe / Nation
- Diplomatic priorities: international cooperation versus national sovereignty. This is separate from the economic scale.
- Liberty / Authority
- Civil power: personal liberties versus government authority. Support for a strong economy does not determine this score.
- Progress / Tradition
- Social change: reform and new social norms versus continuity with established traditions.
Understanding your 8values results
Your 8values results show four separate balances. Read the bars together: an economic preference does not determine your views on personal freedom or social change.
The two ends of each bar add to 100%. For example, 65% Equality and 35% Markets describe your balance on this questionnaire, not the proportion of policies you support.
The closest ideology is a rough reference. If the label feels wrong, look at the individual axes to see which parts fit and which do not.
8values test FAQ
Is the 8values test the same as an 8 axes test?
8values reports eight values across four axes, not eight independent axes. Its scales cover economics, international relations, civil liberties and society. The number in the name counts the two endpoints of each scale.
How many questions are in the 8values test?
There are 70 original English statements, each with five choices from strongly agree to strongly disagree. You can go back to change an answer. This page uses the original question bank and scoring in an independent interface.
What do my 8values results mean?
Each percentage shows which end of a scale your answers lean toward. For example, a higher Liberty score reflects answers favoring individual freedoms over state authority. It is not a measure of how correct or consistent your beliefs are.
Why does the closest ideology not match how I describe myself?
The label picks the nearest profile from a fixed list. Your views may fall between several labels, and issues that matter to you may not be covered. Use the four scores as the main result rather than treating the label as a definitive identity.
Can I pause the 8values test and keep my result?
Yes, if browser storage is available. Return in the same browser on the same device to continue; a completed result also reopens after a refresh. Clearing site data, using another device or closing a private-browsing session can remove that saved progress.
Is the 8values test free, and do I need an account?
It is free and requires no account. Answers and scores are calculated and saved in your browser, not sent as an answer sheet to our server. The questions are in English; the guide and controls are also available in Portuguese and Spanish.
How does 8values compare with 9Axes and 12 Axes?
8values gives a four-axis overview. 9Axes separates nine dimensions, and 12 Axes covers twelve. To get a result for another test, take that questionnaire: there is no reliable conversion between their percentages.
