[Spunkylama]

My best fit is…​

Ambivalent Right​

… along with 12% of the public​

 

[Ginger Ale]

I move forward with the rest of the first world, and try to help those lagging behind, including the United States. I'm a progressive.

 

[MaryP]

My best fit is…​

Ambivalent Right​

… along with 12% of the public​

I tried the quiz and couldn't answer the first four questions because they were too simplistic. So you can call me whatever, I guess.

 

[element94]

I had trouble with the first question right off the bat. I'm a democrat that would prefer a smaller government providing fewer services, but I must have the caveat that there must be income equality and no rewards either for those in the top 1% wealth. In fact, there should be no top 1% as it is now, I find that destructively perverse. People with that much money should be handled like monopolies.

 

[BirdinHand]

According to that? I’m “ambivalent right”

I didn't take it. lol

Well darn. Thanks for being willing to play along in any case. For now I'll call you Mary.

Awesome!

Are you going to put that as your Political Leaning?

The quiz that I linked.

 

[The Mark]

Outsider Left.

Edit: I didn't like the wording of some of the choices I picked, but I went with the closest option.

Some of the answers were to simplistic and lacked nuance, but I suppose that's a necessary sacrifice in the name of brevity

Edit 2: For example, I answered one question with "The U.S. stands above all other countries in the world", which it does, militarily, and in various other ways. But this isn't necessarily a good thing, although with Russia and China about I'm not so sure.
Also I think that question was asking if I thought the U.S. was the best.

Which it is in some ways, but definitely not in others.

 

[BirdinHand]

Are you going to put that as your Political Leaning?

Alas, not an option on the drop down menu.

 

[Spunkylama]

Are you going to put that as your Political Leaning?

Ya know, I get called everything under the sun. I just don't fit anywhere to be honest. That is why I have put "other."

But some of the questions are too general. The answers provided don't include the relevant nuances.

If the survey wasn't so short, I would have considered it a waste of time.

 

[BirdinHand]

The quiz that I linked.

Yes, according to the quiz you linked.

 

[Ginger Ale]

Ok, I took it, and I'm still Progressive. No harm done. Whew.

 

[element94]

Alas, not an option on the drop down menu.

You could manually put it above where it currently reads DP Veteran.

Your best fit is…​

Outsider Left​

… along with 10% of the public​

And accurately, it said that I identify more as an independent.

 

[MaryP]

Ya know, I get called everything under the sun. I just don't fit anywhere to be honest. That is why I have put "other."

Not fitting into a political pigeon hole is a good thing, imo. Means you think for yourself.

 

[Demon]

Progressive left, about 6% of people

 

[Michael Cole]

My typology is this shirt.

The notions of what are liberal and conservative change with time. Indeed, our opinions change with time. I used to be anti- illegal immigration. I couldn't care less about it now. My opinions can change with more info, like when the second generation immigrants grow up to be as American as me, but none of my opinions have anything to do with ideology or party clubs. That they may fall on some continuum defined and designed by some method isn't very useful, imo.

Someone who is independent is defined by his opinions. Club members' opinions are defined by the club. That's the difference, which no test can accurately show.

 

[Nomad4Ever]

I got outsider left, but I like the 9axis test better. I feel like that one doesn't even come close to representing or categorizing many people.

 

[Nomad4Ever]

According to that? I’m “ambivalent right”

I think that is the best the quiz can handle right libertarians given it only asks 16 questions.

7. Stressed Sideliners

One of the least highly educated typology groups, Stressed Sideliners are generally disconnected from politics and the two major parties, voting at lower rates than most other typology groups. A large majority say the economic system in this country unfairly favors the powerful, and about...

My personal opinion of myself:

10. Establishment Liberals

While deeply liberal, Establishment Liberals are the typology group most likely to see value in political compromise and tend to be more inclined toward more measured approaches to societal change than their Progressive Left counterparts.

www.pewresearch.org

I do share some of the sideliner sense of alienation though and am not really part of the party. In another small ways, I identify with the progressive left as well.
