Liberalismo progresista
Liberalismo progresista is a Spanish label with two real uses: a 19th-century current in Spain, and a broader liberal family close to what this site calls social liberalism. The test does not return the name.
A definition for reading a result against. Not an endorsement, and not one of the 38 names the test can return.

In 19th-century Spain, liberalismo progresista names the liberals who stood against the moderates. The Spanish Wikipedia records that the faction word progresista was fixed by Salustiano de Olózaga in 1836, and that the Partido Progresista pressed for a more open suffrage and for civil reform than the moderates did. That is a fact of Spanish political history, not a platform for today.
In current Spanish the same words also name something wider and less tied to one party. It is still liberalism: individual rights, equality before the law, and a government limited by a constitution. It leaves classical liberalism by accepting a state that funds education, health, and a basic floor, so that formal freedom can be used. It does not ask for collective ownership of the economy, and it is not a synonym for socialism.
It is not progressivism either. On this site progressivism is a reform current with culture at the progressive end and an internationalist stress. Liberalismo progresista can share civil reforms and still argue about how far the state should steer the economy. English often calls the wider family social liberalism. The Spanish label has no reference position of its own among the 38.
How to read it on the twelve axes
Economy runs from Collectivize to Privatize, and Control from Planned to Laissez-faire. This kind of liberalism stays in the mixed band: private property and markets, more tax and public service than classical liberalism accepts, and less state direction than socialism asks for. Those two scores say more than the label.
Power runs from Security to Freedom. The liberal tradition, including this one, leans toward Freedom: rights the state does not get to skip. Culture runs from Progressive to Traditional. The adjective progressive pushes toward civil-rights reform without, by itself, fixing the far end of the axis. Representation stays Democratic. Intervention, immigration, and religion are not given. Two people can share the label and split on those axes.
The match uses only four axes, Economy, Power, Intervention, and Culture, and 38 positions published by the open-source 12axes project. Liberalismo progresista is not one of them. The nearest by meaning, not by a new calculation, are social liberalism, liberalism, and progressivism. The charts below are their real positions, not a position invented for this label.

Each chart is that ideology's published position. None of them is titled liberalismo progresista.
- Social Liberalism
Social liberalism is the closest published point to the current use: markets and personal freedom, with a state that funds health, education, and a safety net. The chart is that reference position, not a chart of liberalismo progresista.

Progressivism pushes social equality, civil rights, and international cooperation, and on this site its culture score sits at the progressive end. It shares some reforms with liberalismo progresista and does not share the same liberal limit on the state.

Questions about liberalismo progresista
What does liberalismo progresista mean?
