Political Typology Analysis

I took the Pew Research Centers “Political Typology Quiz,” my results were close to what I thought they would be. My Result was “Young Outsider,” which was described as a “relatively young, largely independent group holds a mix of conservative and liberal views” (PewResearchCenter). It also said that most “Young Outsiders” generally favor the Republican party rather than the Democratic Party, with unfavorable opinions of both. They also differ from “Steadfast Conservatives” and “Business Conservatives” in environmental and social issues usually. I considered myself a moderate conservative prior to taking this test, although I do agree with some of the things mentioned within the description of a “young outsider” I do not have many negative opinions on the

I’ve never really thought or cared about where I stand in politics, but after taking the two surveys the results were pretty interesting. I was able to see where I stand in politics, and find it agreeable to my own personal beliefs

While taking the course Contemporary Public Issues, I have gained a vast amount of knowledge on the subject of political ideologies and have seen the different ideologies explained, criticized, and commended from several diverse viewpoints as I participated in the class discussions and read the selected course readings. These readings and class discussions have greatly influenced my ideological preferences. After evaluating the assigned course readings and reflecting on the class discussions that were held, I have come to the conclusion that I possess both liberal and conservative ideological preferences including: government action should take place to ensure equal opportunity, change should happen slowly over time, and religion should be a private issue. Although I possess both liberal and conservative ideological preferences, I feel that I lean more towards liberal tendencies when it comes to

6. In your own words, describe your ideological views, i.e. your beliefs about the role that government should play in our lives and in society (Do not simply list your political positions). Of the positions included in the assessment, which ones are most important to you?

The results on the quiz in terms of party alignment was the Democratic Party. The quiz showed I was in agreement with the Democratic Party more than the other parties with a match of 87%. I also had high percentages in the Green Party, Libertarians, and the Constitution Party. The reason I have high percentages for the other parties as well is because they all have different views on all the different issues and how they approach the problems, so I agree with some of the issues they are for or against or even what they are doing to be for or against them. I was not expecting to get the results of being more in agreement to the Democratic Party for many reasons. I was surprised because my family is more a part of the Republican Party and

Based on my responses, this quiz placed me into the next generation left which includes people with liberal values. As a person has different political views towards different things, my views are also scattered between democrats and republicans in different prospects. I stand as a democrat while taking the views related to criminal justice and immigration where they are more liberal. In some cases, like the issue of gun control, I am in support of republicans as they strongly oppose the use of guns and hand arms to control the crime.

In the 41 Question Quiz, it proclaimed that I was a "social realist." This quiz's results stated that a social realist is a warm-hearted and popular person. It also says that a social realist puts others needs before their own, which it something that I believe to be true. The quiz makers said I would be a good nurse or teacher, which is something that has always interested me. I love caring for young children and making sure their needs are taken care of. I believe this quiz really hit it spot on. I often put others needs before my own, which can be good to some extent. I personally believe this is quiz is more true than the other.

I was not surprised by my results for the race and presidential preferences, but I was surprised I have a bias towards thin people. I expected to not have a bios or have a positive bios towards heavy since I have been considered heavy since early childhood. After contemplating the results, I suppose I have a bios to what I have wanted to achieve over the

I took three quizzes, the ‘Political Typology Quiz’, ‘The Political Party Test’ and the ‘I Side with Presidential Quiz’, to determine my own political identity. Each of the quizzes had a myriad of questions that ultimately resulted in a final result displaying my political standpoint. The first two quizzes resulted in a product of ‘Young Outsider’ and ‘Independent’, two identities that are not completely partial to neither of the two major groups, the conservatives nor liberals. Each considered politically neutral. The third quiz; however, stated that I shared various viewpoints with two major Democratic candidates, Hilary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. But, I still had a portion of my views in connection with Donald Trump and Ben Carson, two

I would say that this is quite an accurate representation of my political ideology. Despite not having all the same views as the majority of this group holds, I deeply align with many of them. For example, this group is slightly more conservative and leans toward the Republican party, but holds the opinions of both parties, which is an accurate assessment. I believe that I am mostly conservative, but I also hold a lot of mixed views espoused by both political parties. The Young outsiders are largely skeptical of activist government, which I believe to be true, which proves the quiz results accurate. Environmental and liberal social policies are also supported by this group, many of which I also support, once again, consistent with my results. This evidence proves that I am consistently aligned as a Young Outsider based upon my own personal views which agrees with the results of the typology

After taking the, Political Party Quiz, I checked the results and found out I stand very far to the right on the political spectrum. This surprised me mostly because the majority of my family falls further on the left side. Researching the issues on the quiz soon after I realized that I have been exposed to many of these prior to the quiz. While on some of the issues I had a sure answer, there were quite a few that I hadn’t really ever heard of.

I noticed that while taking this Political Compass test most of my answers were either agree or disagree, very few questions I answered with strongly agree/disagree. For that reason, I believed that my results were more inclined to be on the non-ideological side since my answers were not radical. According to the test, I fall under the Green section that represents the modern liberal and progressive party; however, diagonally I am around three boxes from the center of the graph. In other words, I would be considered non-ideological since I am closer to the middle of the graph rather than on an extreme side of the political compass. Although my results were bit towards the lower left side, I found it accurate to consider myself non-ideological. I am still in the process of learning about economic and social dimensions thus it is too early to label myself especially as a college student.

     Upon taking the “Worlds smallest Political quiz” online, the website told me that I was a Centrist. A Centrist is a person who favors selective political involvement and practical solutions to modern problems. A Centrist tends to keep an open mind on new issues and prefers capitalism to work out economic problems if at all possible. Although I was a centrist I was on the boarder line of being a right wing conservative who would like to see a capitalistic society and little government intervention. The next quiz was an ideology quiz. This quiz told me that I also tended towards the conservative side. I apparently also would like to see order in society instead of equality. These two tests showed similar results in that both said I was more closely related to a conservative than a liberal. The “Worlds smallest Political Quiz” showed the national results and percentages of those who have previously taken the test. The majority of people who take the quiz, 37.7% are liberals. The second most popular grouping is Centrist at 29 %. The ideology quiz stated that the average of all those who take this quiz are liberal as well.

The political spectrum reveals more than what meets the eye. In the United States, a politician is typically either left or right; there is often no middle ground. Because of this, she or he is either liberal (Democratic) or conservative (Republican). So where does that leave those who share values and policies as those on each side? A politician’s position on the political spectrum is determined by his or her beliefs and policies on several issues, including the government’s involvement in both social policies and the economy. In European politics, the political spectrum is rather a multi-dimensional space where positions vary based on the state’s or government’s involvement; an ideology ranges from authoritarian to individualistic and has
