ANALYSIS

High scorers place great value on freedom of the individual and the protection of human rights. They are opposed to interference in their lives from the State, for which they have limited respect. In extreme this would be an anarchist or someone who has a button on accepting any kind of authority, even if it is imposing sensible order.

Low scorers favour regulation of both business and many aspects of individual behavior. They also tend to place a high value on patriotism and loyalty to the State, because they are comforted by a powerful body - that knows best - taking full responsibility.
