How power should be arranged
How much hierarchy you think a good order needs.
The plain question
How should authority and rank be arranged among people?
The poles
- Egalitarian
- Standing should be broadly equal; any hierarchy has to justify itself.
- Hierarchical
- Some ordering of roles and rank is natural or necessary for things to work well.
What it does not measure
Not whether you personally defer to your boss — it's about how you think authority ought to be arranged.
An axis is a spectrum, not a box. A reading places your answers toward a pole — and only when you said enough to place them; otherwise it leaves the axis open.
