FAQ

Yes. We don't collect any personally identifying data. No account, email, or name is required. Results are only associated with an anonymous UUID generated at test time.

Take the time you need to reflect.

Absolutely not. The score is a private estimate of your voting preparedness. It has no legal value and is not intended to limit anyone's right to vote. It's a self-awareness tool.

Yes. The algorithm doesn't evaluate political opinions but logical consistency, bias resistance, and long-term vision capacity. The 'Devil's Advocate' model tests your ability to recognize validity in opposing arguments.

The score combines 5 dimensions: Institutional Competence, Anti-Bias, Future Orientation, Panachage, and Civic Effort. Each has a specific weight in the algorithm, with Panachage receiving particularly high impact.

Yes. The Civic ID Card is designed for organic sharing. It includes a QR Code that lets anyone verify its authenticity through the public verification page.

Data is stored in Switzerland on LPD-compliant infrastructure. We only use essential technical storage (cookies and localStorage) for app functionality. No third-party trackers are present.

Cognitive biases are systematic errors in human reasoning. Civicamente measures three main biases: Confirmation Bias (tendency to seek information confirming one's ideas), Emotional Impulse (reactivity to sensationalist news), and Concision Bias (preference for simplistic solutions to complex problems). These biases are well-documented in cognitive psychology literature (Kahneman, Tversky).

Panachage is a concept typical of the Swiss electoral system that allows voting for candidates from different party lists. In Civicamente's context, the 'Devil's Advocate' model simulates this ability: it presents arguments opposing your position and measures your capacity to recognize their validity. This receives high weight because the ability to evaluate opposing arguments is a strong indicator of democratic maturity.

Yes. You can retake the test as many times as you wish. Each new test generates a new anonymous UUID and a new report. Your previous score does not influence the new one. This allows you to track your progress over time after informing yourself about the topics covered.

The Global Ranking aggregates anonymous scores by nation and region, creating a worldwide map of democratic readiness. Data is completely anonymous: no individual score is identifiable. The ranking shows the average score, number of participants, and the predominant bias profile for each nation.

Civicamente doesn't measure general intelligence (IQ) or political opinions. It specifically measures the quality of civic decision-making: your resistance to cognitive manipulation, capacity for long-term thinking, and factual knowledge of democratic institutions. There is no 'right-wing' or 'left-wing' correct answer.

The algorithm is designed to be transparent and verifiable. The bias weighting model and calculation formulas are documented in the Methodology section. The goal is to ensure that no political or partisan influence can alter the results, maintaining user trust in the system's integrity.
