Logical Positivism, as stated, 1920s-1950svs.Behavioral Economics, as stated, 1970s-present

Proximity: Same family

17 on a scale of 0 (close) to 100 (far). Closer than 98% of all pairs.

These are profiles of the same family, a difference of 17 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, 3 differ in degree rather than direction, and on a single dimension one profile engages a question the other sets aside. The sharpest split is Authority & Hierarchy: Logical Positivism strongly opposes where Behavioral Economics is indifferent. Both hold Evidence-Based Reasoning and Knowledge & Truth as core commitments.

Clusters

Both:Liberty First

Liberty is the defining elevation, with Consent & Anti-Coercion running high beside it; Authority & Hierarchy sits low. Individual freedom leads the profile rather than any collective commitment.
