How the statements were written
Each of the twelve axes is probed by its own statements, coded in both directions so that agreeing with everything cannot push a score to one end.
How the test works
A 12Axes result is produced in four steps: a balanced set of statements, twelve independent scores, a comparison against a written library, and a set of limits that the result should be read inside. Each step has its own page, and every claim on them is read back from the code that actually runs.
How a score is calculated
Twelve independent scores, each reported between −100 and +100, calculated from a balanced average of the statements that were actually answered.
How the library match works
Your twelve scores are compared with each of the 112 written profiles, and the comparison measures which way a profile points rather than how firmly you answered.
What the test cannot claim
A 12Axes result is a description of what you said, compared with positions that were written by hand. It is not a measurement of you, and it is not a verdict on anyone else.
What is deliberately not here
The test does not claim to measure a personality, predict a vote, or settle an argument. Its library vectors are editorial readings, its centre band leaves close calls unstated, and its answers describe what someone said on the day rather than what they would do.
The limits are set out in full on what the test cannot claim. The twelve axes themselves are defined on the axes page, one page each.
Read it, then argue with your own result
Your result prints one value per axis, which is what makes it worth disagreeing with.
