About Poligon
Politics is more nuanced
than a single line.
Poligon was built to capture that nuance, and to remind us that the people we disagree with are more complex than any label.
Not a number. A shape.
Your political identity, rendered as a polygon.
A "Poligon" is a 10-sided polygon — one spoke per political dimension. Two things are encoded simultaneously: how strongly you feel, and which direction you lean.
The result is a visual fingerprint. No two shapes are exactly alike. And unlike a position on a left-right spectrum, your shape can show that you hold strong, consistent views across multiple dimensions — even when they don't fit neatly into a single ideology.
Reform-leaning
Strong convictions across most dimensions. Light, pastel tones signal reform-oriented views. Full spokes — high conviction, clear direction.
Traditional-leaning
Same size polygon — same conviction strength. Deep, rich colours signal traditional views. Size is equal; only the shade differs.
Nuanced & mixed
Different lengths per spoke — stronger views on some dimensions, more open on others. This is the most common shape. Most real people live here.
📏
Spoke length = conviction
A full-length spoke means strong conviction. A short spoke means you're near-neutral on that axis. A committed progressive and a committed conservative both produce a full polygon — the difference is in the colour, not the size.
🎨
Shade = direction
Each dimension has its own colour family. A light pastel means reform-leaning; a deep, rich shade means traditional-leaning. Two people with opposite views produce shapes that are identical in size but radically different in colour.
The ten dimensions
Each dimension is largely independent. Your views on healthcare tell us very little about your views on immigration. That independence is exactly the point.
