Where Do You Fit in the Political Typology?

[mia]

Take the quiz here:
http://www.people-press.org/quiz/political-typology/

The new typology has eight groups: Three are strongly ideological, highly politically engaged and overwhelmingly partisan – two on the right and one on the left. Steadfast Conservatives are staunch critics of government and the social safety net and are very socially conservative. Business Conservatives share Steadfast Conservatives’ preference for limited government, but differ in their support for Wall Street and business, as well as immigration reform. And Business Conservatives are far more moderate on social issues than are Steadfast Conservatives.

At the other end of the spectrum, Solid Liberals express liberal attitudes across almost every realm – government, the economy and business and foreign policy, as well as on race, homosexuality and abortion – and are reliable and loyal Democratic voters.

Taken together, these three groups form the electoral base of the Democratic and Republican Parties, and their influence on American politics is strong. While Solid Liberals, Steadfast Conservatives and Business Conservatives collectively make up only 36% of the American public, they represent 43% of registered voters and fully 57% of the more politically engaged segment of the American public: those who regularly vote and routinely follow government and public affairs....

Glad to find that I'm a "solid liberal", even with a few conservative views.

5. Solid liberal here...

This is the definition that was included for 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.

6. Let me shock all of DU

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

It asked nothing about pragmatism, though.

9. Solidly liberal. However, there's a problem with this quiz.

It said I didn't answer Question 3. I DID answer it.

It looks like this Pew quiz isn't capturing liberal responses to question 3. How very "Pew".

Compare your answers with results from our national survey:
You did not respond to question 3
Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy
5% (solid liberals)
39% (general public)

11. Didn't have any tech issue with that question.

Could it be a browser problem?

[valerief]

12. No problem with other questions. I question the tally, because the final page

only displayed the 'conservative' answer for #3 and not *both* answers.

13. Solid Liberal...

14. Solid Liberal. Does Pew think "rights" are "given?" I don't.

Neither are they earned. They are recognized.

15. solid liberal

16. Solid liberal. I disagree, though,

with the definition: Solid Liberals express liberal attitudes across almost every realm – government, the economy and business and foreign policy, as well as on race, homosexuality and abortion – and are reliable and loyal Democratic voters.

I'm not an economic liberal. That would be a neo-liberal, and it's not a fit.

Also, plenty of non-Democrats who are NOT "reliable and loyal Democratic voters" can hold every single opinion that "solid liberals" do.
