Methodology — Where Do I Stand?

The quiz measures how closely your answers align with Reform UK's published policy positions. It is informational and does not predict voting intention or election behaviour.

Target positions

Every question stores a Reform UK target answer, drawn from the party's Contract with You (2024) and subsequent policy documents. The same sources back the policy pages in this Explorer. When Reform has not published a clear position, we omit the question.

Scoring per question

Agree / Disagree. Distance on a 5-point scale from the target answer, mapped to a 0–100% match.
Multiple choice. Full credit for the target option, partial credit for adjacent options (using an explicit distance table where available).
Importance slider. Distance from the Reform target value on the same scale, normalised to 0–100%.
Budget allocation. Total absolute difference between your allocation and Reform's implied allocation, expressed as a match percentage.
Ranking. Squared distance between your ranking and Reform's implied ranking (a Spearman-style comparison), normalised to 0–100%.

Category and overall scores

Each question has a weight; each category has a weight. Your category score is the weighted average of the questions you answered in that category, and your overall score is the weighted average of your category scores. Questions you skip are excluded from both.

Confidence

The confidence indicator is the percentage of questions you answered. A category with fewer than two answered questions is marked "low confidence" and excluded from Top matches and Areas of difference.

Neutrality

Questions use plain, neutral language and avoid loaded terms.
Target answers reflect Reform UK's published position, not our view of what the "correct" answer is.
Sources are linked from every question via the "Why we're asking" popover.
