Political Typology Quiz from Pew.

[Spracne]

Hey chings, what language is your spellcheck set to? 

[john "teach me how to" dougie]

I got Biz Con, even though I said some government involvement in business is necessary and same protection of the environment is necessary.

Same here. I think business conservative is probably the most moderate of their categories.

Hey chings, what language is your spellcheck set to? 

it was the webpage screen shot extension causing that :(.

[sys]

Generally young, well-educated and financially comfortable, the Next Generation Left have very liberal attitudes on many issues, including homosexuality, abortion, the environment and foreign policy. While overall supportive of an activist government, most are wary of expanding the social safety net. Most also have relatively positive views of Wall Street’s impact on the economy. While most affiliate with the Democratic Party or lean Democratic, few consider themselves strong Democrats. Compare groups on key issues.

in with the next gen left.

[CHONGS]

hmmmm.... I seem to be quite in the tail end there

You are pretty close to the peak for the general public, though.

Well I am the most moderate poster

Did it say you are a solid liberal or did you just click on solid liberal? It looks like it should have put you in the faith and family left to me.

It said I was solid lib.  Faith and family would be wrong based on my answers regarding religion and family importance.

if I flip one answer I was 50/50 on, I become a Next Generation Left....

i think i was miscategorized.  i should have been a hard-pressed skeptic.

[michigancat]

I was solidly liberal disliked the poverty and race questions.

And only 62% of people think homosexuality should be accepted?

[Benja]

I was solid lib. But some of those questions were shitty.

[Jabeez]

I am another solid moderate solid liberal.  Like other smart people my answers were: government is wasteful but neccessary; poor people and minorities need help to get ahead;  People can succeed if they try real hard.

Also people complaining about questions probably missed easy test questions by not reading instructions:

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.

yeah everyone read that

[steve dave]

lol at everyone with the "these questions are terrible!" and "I disagreed with both!" You should all be lumped into Solidly Dumbass.

[slobber]

Is that moderate?


Gonna win 'em all!

[RickRampus]

I've taken this test twice, once for a class and took it again today.  Went from a dark red to a hard pressed skeptic.  What a difference three? years makes.  I was surprised.

[Cire]

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.

Some of the questions are too narrow imo, but still a newish interesting look.

I got Young Outsider

This relatively young, largely independent group holds a mix of conservative and liberal views. And while more lean toward the Republican Party than the Democratic Party, Young Outsiders generally express unfavorable opinions of both major parties. They are largely skeptical of activist government, as a substantial majority views government as wasteful and inefficient. Yet many diverge from the two conservative typology groups – Steadfast Conservatives and Business Conservatives – in their strong support for the environment and many liberal social policies. Compare groups on key issues.

Still same. Economics have moved left. Social has always been most left.

[sys]

in with the next gen left.

Highly educated and politically engaged, Solid Liberals hold consistently liberal values. They back a robust role for government and are strong advocates of the social safety net. Large majorities view the current economic system as unfair and see economic inequality as a major problem. They take broadly positive views of immigrants, and fully 99% think being open to people from around the world is an essential part of the nation’s identity. Most say more needs to be done to address both racial discrimination and obstacles to women’s achievement. They support same-sex marriage and believe homosexuality should be accepted by society. Solid Liberals are the most Democratic of all typology groups: nearly two-thirds (64%) identify as Democrats, another 35% lean toward the Democratic Party.

apparently i've changed into a solid liberal, which is just as well since the next generation left don't appear to exist any more.

[sys]

i think i was miscategorized.  i should have been a hard-pressed skeptic.

at least i'm still miscategorized.  i fit the opportunity democrat description better than solid liberal.

[nicname]

this test is really dumb imo

[MakeItRain]

this test is really dumb imo

It really is and that surprised me from Pew. I was solid liberal, the only question that I didn't answer that wasn't in line with the others surveyed in my ideology was that I think corporations make a fair amount of profit.
