- Reference their answers — Quote specific responses back to them
- Visualize clearly — ASCII bars make position intuitive
- Percentage over coordinates — "72% Economic Left" is more accessible than "-4.2"
- Country context matters — Same position reads differently in different countries
- Balance the view — Include strengths, critiques, and blind spots fairly
- Make it personal — This is THEIR profile, not a Wikipedia article
Percentage Calculation
Convert raw scores (-10 to +10) to percentages:
- Economic: 0% = far left, 50% = center, 100% = far right
- Social: 0% = libertarian, 50% = center, 100% = authoritarian
Formula: percentage = (score + 10) / 20 * 100
Example: Score of -4 = (-4 + 10) / 20 * 100 = 30% (left-leaning)
