12 Axes vs 8values vs 9Axes – What Changed

8values and 9Axes are earlier political quizzes that became popular online by scoring multiple ideological dimensions instead of a single left–right line. 12 Axes belongs to the same broad family but is an independent project.

What stayed similar

• Multi-axis design rather than a single spectrum
• Agree/disagree statements that accumulate scores on opposing poles
• Free, browser-based, no-account experience in the public versions

What 12 Axes changes or expands

• Twelve distinct axes instead of eight or nine
• Reorganised or newly separated topics (for example clearer splits around immigration, intervention, technology/biology)
• Larger matching catalogs for ideologies, countries/regimes and political figures in the more recent implementations
• Multiple length options (short / full / extreme) in some deployments

12 Axes is not an official sequel or authorised update of 8values or 9Axes. It is a separate open project that builds on the same general idea of multi-dimensional political self-assessment. For the exact axis list used by the current popular version, see the axes explanation page or the main guide.
