Yeah, the major difference is it has a dedicated social axis (progressive-conservative) that removes the ambiguity of the Left-Right axis. On the original people would associate social stances with economic ones.

There's ones like 8 values that have more dimensions but they suffer in readability (IMO).

On the original people would associate social stances with economic ones.

However, economy is a social construct, so isn't it completely OK to associate social stances with economic ones? If you believe that all people are equal and then say billionaires be billionaires, this is a contradiction.
