Political Typology Quiz

[geardaddy]

Are you a Steadfast Conservative? A Solid Liberal? Or somewhere in between? Take our quiz to find out which one of our Political Typology groups is your best match compared with a national survey of over 10,000 U.S. adults conducted by the Pew Research Center.

You may find some of these questions are difficult to answer. For example, you may partly agree with both statements, or feel that neither quite describes your view. That’s ok. In those cases, pick the answer that comes closest to your view, even if it isn’t exactly right. You can also use a group version of this quiz to engage your students or other group members.

[GGJohn]

2. Solid Liberal here also.

[Peacetrain]

3. Not surprised by the results..but by the 15%...

Generally affluent and highly educated, most Solid Liberals strongly support the social safety net and take very liberal positions on virtually all issues. Most say they always vote Democratic and are unflagging supporters of Barack Obama. Overall, Solid Liberals are very optimistic about the nation’s future and are the most likely to say that America’s success is linked to its ability to change, rather than its reliance on long-standing principles. On foreign policy, Solid Liberals overwhelmingly believe that good diplomacy – rather than military strength – is the best way to ensure peace.

9. How the heck did I get Solid Liberal?

Generally affluent and highly educated, most Solid Liberals strongly support the social safety net and take very liberal positions on virtually all issues. Most say they always vote Democratic and are unflagging supporters of Barack Obama. Overall, Solid Liberals are very optimistic about the nation’s future and are the most likely to say that America’s success is linked to its ability to change, rather than its reliance on long-standing principles. On foreign policy, Solid Liberals overwhelmingly believe that good diplomacy – rather than military strength – is the best way to ensure peace. Compare groups on key issues.

Thing is, it only gives 2 questions and the more conservative answer they give is almost always wrong.

11. Me too, but

Also solid liberal, but the questions were somewhat loaded. More like a push poll than anything else. Even if it was done by Pew.

[plcdude]

12. solidly liberal

although the choices were limited.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

13. I think I've taken that one before.

And really, I think it's just too simplistic to really say much worthwhile with just two choices per question.

[Control-Z]

14. Solid Liberal.

Wow. 15 percent. Maybe there are other ratings like "Super liberal" and "Stellar liberal"?

Maybe we all just happen to fall in the middle of the liberal spectrum?

[smirkymonkey]

15. Solid Liberal

Not surprised. Kind of scary that only 15% of us are Solid Liberals though.
