How it works

Each question presents a real geopolitical scenario or philosophical dilemma. Choose the response that most closely matches how you actually think — there are no right or wrong answers. Your choices will be mapped to five major IR theories:

Realism Liberalism Constructivism English School Offensive Realism

Answer honestly based on your gut instinct, not what you think the "correct" IR theory answer should be. The test works best when you don't overthink each question.
