How it works.

Common Coordinates asks a short set of tradeoff questions and places your answers on two simple dimensions: public support versus personal freedom, and keeping what works versus changing what fails.

Your map

The point is a conversation starter, not a label. It shows which direction your answers lean and which public figures or broad U.S. groups sit nearby.

Public figures

Figure profiles are built from public records, campaign materials, interviews, speeches, books, and official statements. When the record is thin, the comparison should be read as approximate.

Population groups

The group percentages come from public survey typologies. They give context for broad clusters of opinion, not an exact estimate of how many people share your exact position.

Limits

This is for reflection and discussion. It is not a party diagnosis, a scientific score, or something to use for high-stakes decisions.
