Political Ideology Quiz 2016!

Free Range Democrat Icon...

Nope. My skin color, income, and where I live don't make someone a democrat. That test was bogus.

Urban Cowboy? I don't understand this quiz.

Progressive Progressives are unified on a number of Democratic dogmas: 97% say government regulation of business is necessary to protect public interests; 97% say immigrants today strengthen our country; 96% say climate change is caused by human activities. Large majorities perceive the existence of income inequality and say that racial discrimination is at the root of why many blacks can't get ahead in this country. Barack Obama's approval rating is sky high among this group and they are the most likely to say the country is headed in the right direction.

They're highly educated and tend to be urbanites, ranking public transportation and being able to walk to places as important to where they live. Nearly 1 in 3 soccer aficionados identify as Progressive Progressives. They're highly engaged, both politically and within their communities - but only about 1 in 4 belongs to a church or place of worship. More than 4 in 10 say they are atheist, agnostic or unaffiliated with any religious organization. A majority use social media to broadcast their views on political and social issues. And more than 4 in 10 have pasted political bumper stickers on the sedans, small SUVs or compact cars they drive--or placed a candidate's sign in their yards.

I like it.

I got the same. I'd say it's pretty close

Interestingly when I read that you were the first person I thought of.

Shit son, haha. I can see some of it, but contrary to the description, I got a big 'Murican flag on my Jeep, and love firearms and the outdoors. Still pretty accurate though.

I think there is going to be some differentiation in each of these descriptions. That tends to happen the less choices are available.

Because while I'm a Progressive Progressive; I drive a truck, own a gun, got a 'Murican flag on my truck in addition to all my military ones, and I love the great outdoors.

The quiz sucks overall. Not only this:

The New Sea Territory wrote:This really doesn't tell me my political ideology. The first question presumes I want a capitalist system.

but it's way too two dimensional. It's all just a obvious left-wing and right-wing answer to each question.

If one of the options is not what you think you are or are unsatisfied with the result, look at the three highest percentages (including the top result). One of them likely is what you feel you are.

Edit: By the way, the American centred quiz says I'm apolitic. Which is exactly the opposite of what I am.

100% Anar-Capitalist.
What the hell?
72% Fascist
What the fuck is this Quiz.
I'm socially Libertarian, Economically Protectionist, and a Centrist on Taxes. That sure as hell ain't Ancap nor Fascism.

I had the same issue. Something's up with that one as well.

I think it's intended for fun and not anything serious.

~~It refused to give me an answer, but I doubt it's answer would have been any good anyways considering the lack of questions about things like gay marriage, environmental issues, etc.~~

Took it again without adblock, gave me some nonsense about being apolitical, I was correct about the test not being any good, I definitely wouldn't recommend it.

I got Progressive Progressives. It sounds pretty spot on, although I do have an American flag, and I enjoy the outdoors.

Probably. It's also intended for the ultra-narrow, conventional spectrum in American politics.

Believe me, this one had quite a few parties for you to align yourself with. I've had political quizzes who only had republican, democrat, and Moderate. No Libertarian, No Blue Dog Democrat, didn't even compare your positions with the main two parties. This one had a decent amount of coverage.

Same with me. I got Progressive Progressive but I love the outdoors, got an American flag, and own a gun.

That last point is where we differ

Although I'm not very anti-gun in terms of policy, I definitely am in my personal life.

Mos of the questions had only two answers, one obvious conservative and one obvious liberal.

Urban Cowboy, apparently. Sounds right I guess.

"Apolitical"

I break models. Not very impressive, no, since this one is extremely fragile.
