How to Read 8values Scores
The results page is built around four paired bars. Read the scores first, the axis labels second, and the closest ideology as a summary rather than a verdict.
Read each bar as a pair
Every 8values axis shows two percentages that complete one spectrum. Equality and Markets form the Economic axis. Nation and Globe form the Diplomatic axis. Liberty and Authority form the Civil axis. Tradition and Progress form the Societal axis.
A higher score for one value means the questionnaire placed your answers closer to that side of its paired axis. It does not mean every answer favored that value or that the other side is absent from your views.
Use labels as ranges
The results page converts axis scores into labels such as Socialist, Balanced, Liberal, Traditional, or other range names defined for each axis. These labels help scan a result quickly.
The numeric percentages carry more detail. Two results can share the same label while landing at different points inside that label range.
Separate values from ideology
The four axis scores describe the test profile directly. The closest ideology label comes from comparing that profile with the ideology coordinates stored by the quiz.
If the ideology label feels too broad, start with the axis pages instead: Economic, Diplomatic, Civil, and Societal. The ideology guide explains why matching is approximate.
Sharing a result
The results page can preserve scores in its URL and can generate a banner image from the current result. Anyone who receives a shared result link or image can see the scores it contains.
Use shared scores for discussion, not as proof of a fixed identity. Retaking the quiz after your priorities or interpretation of questions changes can produce a different profile.
