Political Typology Quiz

Postby Pulau Singapura » Fri Dec 18, 2015 9:50 am

So I decided to try this quiz that I saw on Google: http://www.people-press.org/quiz/political-typology/
The questions made sense but....
I got Solid Liberal. WTF

IMO I do not really fit as a liberal because I just...don't. I'm more of a conservative, so I was wondering why the results were like that. I'm not an anarchist or communist.

I got solid liberal also, though I found many of those questions lacking.

Like the one about black rights. Legally yes they are equal to whites, so you don't need more laws protecting them. But society still holds a bigoted view on the majority of black people. Society needs to change, to advance, instead of making more laws.

Some questionsI find myself agreeing with both options.

On the question about poverty, I think some people are at their own fault for being poor while others are poor due to unfortunate circumstances.

I didn't like this quiz. It's too confining. I often found myself agreeing with both answers, neither answer, or a position that's in-between.

Next Generation Left here. Although I actually quite like the term, I'll have to agree that a lot of the choices were too narrow and the quiz as a whole seems oversimplified.

That's because you're probably a steadfast adherent to the People's Action Party of Singapore's party line, and in the American political sphere, those kinds of policies are seen as very, very leftist - though in all honesty they don't really even fit accurately into U.S. politics.

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. "

I took the test and I got "Hard-Pressed Skeptic", with the following:

"Deeply financially-stressed and distrustful of government, Hard-Pressed Skeptics have reservations about both political parties, but more lean toward the Democratic Party. In general, they want government to do more to solve problems, but have doubts about its efficiency. Hard-Pressed Skeptics are among the most cynical about the ability of individuals to improve their lot through hard work. These attitudes may reflect their distressed financial conditions: Hard-Pressed Skeptics have the lowest average family incomes of any of the typology groups."

I find it quite accurate, but too restrictive and too mild, considering my radical political nihilism. The funny thing is that I'm not a US citizen, but I answered with my country in mind, and the typology is still relevant, though I don't have financial issues (this one is so cliché!).

I received Solid Liberal, which makes sense. My critique of the test is similar to ones voiced in the thread. The choices are too simplistic, and don't account for more moderate or nuanced opinions. Interesting to see that the test accurately assigns a category for some non-Americans in the thread while some aren't.

Steadfast Conservative
This overwhelmingly Republican group holds very conservative attitudes across most issues, including social policy and the size and scope of government. However, they generally are critical of business and Wall Street. Overall, Steadfast Conservatives also express highly negative attitudes toward immigrants and take a skeptical view of U.S. global involvement. Compare groups on key issues.

Your best fit is...
Solid Liberal
along with 15% of the public.


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.

Wrong in some parts, but overall is close to what i am, but the test is heavily US centric so that is going to skew the results for anyone outside of the US because of the political spectrum.
