Title: Political Spectrum Poll Post by: clc on May 05, 2011, 08:32:15 pm http://people-press.org/typology/quiz/
I was "Disaffected", along with 11% of the public. "What They Believe * Highly critical of both government and business * Sympathetic to the poor and supportive of social welfare programs * Concerned about immigration * Majority believes the country can't solve many of its important problems * Religious and socially conservative Who They Are * Most financially stressed of the groups: nearly half describe their household as "struggling" * 71% have experienced unemployment in their household in the past 12 months * About two-thirds have only a high school education or less * Compared with the national average of 33%, more are parents (44%) * 26% have a U.S. passport — well below the national average * 23% follow NASCAR racing" As far as the bottom percentages, I don't match any of those. Title: Re: Political Spectrum Poll Post by: clc on May 05, 2011, 08:34:55 pm I retook the quiz after reading it again and realised I clicked a couple of answers without reading them clearly enough first =/ (Florida education, hard at work)
My second results were: New Coalition Democrats 10% of the public What They Believe * Strongly pro-government * Upbeat about the country's ability to solve problems and an individual's ability to get ahead through hard work * Approve of regulation and environmental protection * More positive about business than other Democratic-oriented groups * Generally liberal on racial issues * Hospitable to immigrants: 78% believe they strengthen society * Very religious and socially conservative Who They Are * 56% are Democrats * Majority-minority group: 34% white, 30% black and 26% Latino * About three-in-ten are first or second generation Americans * 55% have only a high school education or less * 23% are not registered to vote * Only 34% read a daily newspaper * Half are regular volunteers for charity or non-profit groups This seemed a better fit.

13% of the public What They Believe Generally supportive of government, though more conservative on race policies and the safety net Strongly supportive of regulation and environmental protection Most (56%) say Wall Street helps the economy more than it hurts Very liberal on social issues, including same-sex marriage One of the least religious groups: nearly a third are unaffiliated with any religious tradition Favor the use of diplomacy rather than force Who They Are The youngest of the typology groups: 32% under age 30 A majority are non-Hispanic white and have at least some college experience Half live in either the Northeast or the West A majority (58%) live in the suburbs 63% use social networking One-in-five regularly listen to NPR; 14% regularly watch The Daily Show HA! and it's not that I favor the use of diplomacy more than force, I favor it's use 1st.. and then force if needed.. there were a few answers that were 'double' like that.. the other one was.. Quote The government today can't afford to do much more to help the needy or Quote The government should do more to help needy Americans, even if it means going deeper into debt I chose the 1st one.. because it was the 'best' answer, not because it was totally right.. I don't necessarily think we should do more because we can't afford it number one, but I also don't want to see us do less than what we are doing.. meh, it was like that with many of the questions.. anyway.. it was fun.. thanks ;D Title: Re: Political Spectrum Poll Post by: ekg on May 05, 2011, 08:47:57 pm I retook the quiz after reading it again and realised I clicked a couple of answers without reading them clearly enough first =/ (Florida education, hard at work) yeah, if I change just one..

Ten questions/statements are a slight over simplification which is not an issue except when they use similar ones to make broad claims in the lamestream media :D.
