15 on a scale of 0 (close) to 100 (far). Closer than 99.0% of all pairs.

These are profiles of the same family, a difference of 15 on the 0 to 100 scale. They differ little in what they value and in the rules they hold. Direct opposition appears on 1 dimension and 10 differ in degree rather than direction. The sharpest split is Material Aspiration: Apartheid-era South Africa leans toward where Taliban Afghanistan strongly opposes. Both hold Consent & Anti-Coercion, Inclusiveness & Pluralism, and 6 more as core commitments.

Clusters

Both:Extractive Rule

Tradition & Continuity leads the elevations, with Authority & Hierarchy, Material Aspiration, and Security & Stability high beside it, while Knowledge & Truth and Care & Welfare are strongly depressed and the procedural Principles run low. Elevated Material Aspiration is the distinctive marker among the hierarchical clusters. What separates it from Mobilized Absolutism is degree: the depressions here are shallower and the elevations less extreme.
