FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How does a group political compass work?
You create a map and share its link. Each person takes the Political Compass Test or the Political Values Test through that link, picks a nickname and ticks a box to appear on the map. Their result then shows up as a dot on the same compass as everyone else, with group stats like the average position and the most opposite pair.
Can I use it as a political compass activity for class?
Yes. Choose A class when you create the map. Students only need the link. They can use first names or made-up nicknames, there are no student accounts or emails, and you can remove any dot or close the map to new joins at any time.
What can other people see about me?
Your nickname and your position on the map, plus your closest ideology on the Values and 12 Axes tests. Never your individual answers. You only appear if you tick the box on the last step, and you can remove your dot later from the same browser.
Which tests can a group use?
The Political Compass Test, the Political Values Test or the 12 Axes Political Test. For 12 Axes you also pick the length (Quick, Standard or Deep) and everyone in the group takes that same version. The 12 Axes map adds a group rose and shows which axis splits the group most.
Is it free?
Yes. Making a map, joining a map and taking the tests are all free, with no sign-up.
