Four separate axes
You respond to 40 statements on a five-point scale. Each group of answers feeds into one of four value questions, so a view in one area does not automatically decide the rest.

What does a political ideology test show?
A political ideology test is a structured way to reflect on the values you give the most weight to. MPTI looks across four separate areas — economy, diplomacy, civil life, and society — instead of plotting all your answers on a single line.
A type is a starting point, not a verdict
The poles you lean toward on the four axes combine into one of 16 political types. Your result is meant to make trade-offs easier to talk about, and it can shift as your views or priorities change.
Method and limits are public
Before or after taking the test, you can see the question design, scoring approach, and the limits of this short self-report test in plain language.
MPTI does not link a type to any party, candidate, or voting choice, and it does not treat one type as better than another.
