What's new.
Product, content, and methodology changes as Political DNA evolves — a plain record of what shipped and when.
Measured, not estimated
Your archetype’s share of the population is now counted from real results rather than estimated — and the comparison moved out of the paid report, free for everyone on the results page.
How the Scan worksHow traditions descend
Schools of thought now connect to each other, not just to thinkers — researched links showing what descends from what, what formed in reaction against what, and what arrived at kindred conclusions from unrelated premises.

DNA Dynamics (in beta) joins the Scan, DNA Origins, and DNA Civics — four assessments that map where you stand, why you believe it, how you engage, and what you know.
How the suite worksDeep Reading
A personalized long-form report that interprets your result — the reading of you, not just your type. Every break in your answers, read back to you.
How Deep Reading worksYour intellectual lineage
Every archetype now traces to the thinkers, traditions, institutions, and communities that shaped it — a researched map of where your politics actually comes from.

Four independent dimensions and 32 archetypes replace the old left–right line — rebuilt from the ground up on a scoring model grounded in contemporary political science.
