Explanation of Axes:
Gender Axis: Measures whether your interests and personality traits are more like those of men or women in the global population. For more on the empirical basis of gender and gender roles, see also the Gender Role Test (based on the findings of Sandra Bem) or the Gender Coordinates Test (based on the findings of Heilman and Peus).
Personality Axis: Measures whether your personality is normal or abnormal. Having abnormal traits does not necessarily mean that one is crazy or that one could be diagnosed with a personality disorder; merely that one shares traits or features with such people. See also the Personality Style Test (based on the findings of Beck and Millon) or the Personality Maladaptation Test (based on research from the American Psychiatric Association).
Lifestyle Axis: Measures whether your lifestyle is traditional and conservative or progressive and “woke.” Note that traditional/conservative people on this axis are not necessarily politically right-wing but may be center-left, as for example both H.J. Eysenck and Eric Kaufmann have found that many left-wingers are conservative in terms of their values and temperament. See also the Eysenck Political Test or the Moral Vignettes Test for more on the intersection between values and outlook.
Political Axis: Measures whether your political outlook is more right-wing or left-wing according to a set of items that very broadly code for left or right in one’s political orientation. That is to say, this axis does not distinguish between conservatives and libertarians on the right, or between left-liberalist and socialists on the left, but merely gives an indication of whether you are left or right. See also the Political Coordinates Test or Political Left/Right Test for other ways of measuring political standpoints.
