These are close neighbors, a difference of 20 on the 0 to 100 scale. Their differences spread across both values and principles. Direct opposition appears on 1 dimension, 4 differ in degree rather than direction, and on 2 dimensions one profile engages a question the other sets aside. The sharpest split is Inclusiveness & Pluralism: Logical Positivism leans against where Rationalist Movement strongly supports. Both hold Evidence-Based Reasoning and Knowledge & Truth as core commitments.
