Since their discovery, radio pulsars have provided a valuable tool in various areas of astrophysics. Radio pulsars are spinning neutron stars emitting electromagnetic radiation from their magnetic poles. Like a distant lighthouse, they are observed by their periodic bursts of radiation; however much is to be learned about their emission mechanism. We present a new method of characterizing radio pulsar polarization profiles using an objective statistic based on all four Stokes parameters. Various properties of this statistic are analyzed and possible applications are discussed.
