Political Ideology/Philosophy Survey

Hey US Government students. Your assignment is to go to one or more of the websites and take the political philosophy or ideology surveys. Then, once you have been given your results, please write a short entry in the comments section explaining which survey you took and what you learned about yourself from the survey. Be sure to compare your results from this survey and the 25 question one we took in class. Were the results similar or different and how so?

Political Compass - this survey asks a series of questions that you may respond to. Submit your answers and your score will be plotted in a 4 quadrant graph explaining who you are.

Political Typology - respond to a series of prompts based on what you agree most with and then find out how you compare with the rest of America.

Political Survey - Read statements and check whether you agree with statement or not. Then your results will be plotted on a 4 quadrant grid explaining your politics.

Political Ideology Survey - Read statements and respond with whether you agree or not. Submit and find out your results.

Your results should be posted by midnight on Sunday April, 14th. Write it well and complete the task for 10 points.
Enjoy, Mr. Thompson

    I took the Political Survey. This survey positioned me slightly to the right and slightly more pragmatic than idealistic. This result is similar to the result i received from the survey taken in class. Both surveys positioned me as being pretty moderate but slightly more conservative than liberal.

    I took the "Political Survey" above. From the survey, I learned that I am a left leaning, slightly pragmatic moderate. More specifically, the survey gave me the scores of +.7994 and +.0425 for right/left and pragmatism, respectively. These results are similar to the results from the political survey we took in class. On the in class survey, I scored a 17/25, which again shows that I am left-leaning.

    For the Political Typology survey I was slightly left and down, close to where Gandhi was on the chart.
    For the Political Survey I was to the left and slightly leaning towards pragmatism.
    The results from both of these online surveys are similar to the survey that we took in class in which I scored as a liberal.

    I took the Political Ideology Survey above. From the survey, i learned that i am a moderate that is left leaning. Which is the same results i recieved from the survey we took in class. These results make sense due to the facts that i am a teenager who lives in Minnesota.

    According to the Political Typology, I am a liberal. This is interesting because when we did the class survey, I was very conservative. Liberals believe that homosexuality should be accepted in society, which I agree on, but they are also very religious. I am not religious at all. I will be attending college next year which I do fit into the liberal group since 71% of liberals attend college. 2/3 of liberals are males, but I am a female. That isnt that big of an issue but it still is out of the ordinary. I feel like I should be more of an independent that a liberal or conservative because it all depends on the topic and how I feel about it.

    The Political Ideology Survey says that I am a moderate. It doesn't say left leaning or right leaning. It also says that I should look into the Green part as well as the Libertarian party.

  7. I took the Political Survey, and it said that I am more left than right. I am more left quite a bit comparatively to the 25 questions which said I was generally in the middle between Liberal and Conservative.

    I took the political ideology which gave a moderate result. I could be apart of Green Party and Libertarian Party, as well as represented both republican and democratic. The result wasn't surprise me because it was close to the 25 Q's I took in class long ago and far away. I was right on 13/25. I thought it is important that you kept your self balanced; not to be obsess with one thing or leaning on just one side.

    I took the "Political Ideology Survey" which told me I am a strong liberal and that I share ideology with the following members of the house of representatives Nydia Velázquez, John Conyers Jr. , and John Lewis. All of which are Democrat.

    In the "Political Typology Survey" I found that I am a Post-modern along with 13% of the public.

    I took the "Political Ideology Survey" which told me that I have a moderate view on politics, I share views with both Democrats and Republic parties. The survey also told me that might be interested in the Green and Libertarian parties. People who have similar ideology are Mike McIntyre, (D - NA , 7th district) and Jim Marshall (D - GA , 8 the district)

    I took the Political Survey. This Survey showed that I am slightly right leaning and also slightly idealistic. I find this odd because during our class activity and worksheet survey we took, I was in the middle. I find this odd because of the fact that I am a female teenager who lives in Minnesota and am a Christian, I would think I would be more left leaning than right leaning. In the horseshoes we made in class, I was left leaning just slightly. In this survey I took, I was right leaning. Now, I am just plain confused as to what I am.

    After I took the political survey, it described me as a moderate liberal. This isn't surprising because I got the same results from the survey we took as a class. Both surveys said that I am a left leaning individual. I fit this description statistically because I am a Caucasian young woman living in Minnesota, which is a more liberal state. This survey just reaffirmed that I am a moderate liberal.

    I took the "Political Survey" on the link above. This Survey showed me that I slightly lean to the right which is almost a moderate and closer to Joseph Stalin on the graph. Similarly to the survey which I took in class that I am a liberal, but I am a little bit close to moderate.

    I took the political typology survey and it stated that economically I am conservative but liberal when it comes to social issues. I absolutely agree with the survey. The survey was right on point and it also matched the survey we took in class. I was moderate conservative in the class survey.

    I took the "Political Compass." The results were
    Economic Left/Right: -5.38
    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.44.
    This placed me closer to Gandhi, as a libertarian socialist. This is different from the class survey because I ended up being moderate in the class and this compass placed me as very libertarian.

    I took the fourth survey. It reaffirmed the results I recieved in class, that I am a moderate, but slightly left leaning. It was interesting how others with some of the same characteristics as me, such as being a teenager, may share some of the same political views as I do.

    I took the "Political Ideology Survey" and it said that I was moderate and that I identify with some of the views of both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. It also said that I may also be interestered in the Green Party and the Liberation Party. I was very surprised to find out that i was moderate, in the class survey i was a very strong liberal. Very interesting.

    I took the "Political Idology Servey" and it said i was moderate and that I identify with some of the views of both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. It also said that I may also be interestered in the Green Party and the Liberation Party. In class i was moderate but more left leaning towards being liberal. So i wasn't very suprised, it's what i figured.

    I took the "Political Ideology Survey" and it said I was moderate. This wasn't surprising to me at all due to the fact that I was also moderate in the class survey that we took. Which means that I agree on topics both from the Democrat and Republican Party which I do agree on.

    I took the "Political Typology" survey it said that I was a New Coalition Democrat. This is not a surprising since i recieved a moderate result in class. The survey also stated that I am with 10% of the public on being a New Coalition Democrat.

    I took the "Political Typology" survey. It said I was a new coalition democrat. The survey in class told me I was more liberal, but this survey told me i was more moderate. I feel like I am in between the class survey and the online survey because a lot of the questions were either extreme left leaning or extreme right leaning.

    I took the "Political Survey". It said i was a Left leaning idealist. The class survey said i was a 9 which is pretty moderate left leaning. I feel these two surveys collaberated pretty closely.

    I took the Political Survey. The scatter plot showed that I was close to the middle, but a little left leaning.
    left/Right: -.7368
    Pragmatism: -.6573

    This means that I am an Idealistic. I am the middle of being a liberal and conservative. This matches the results of the quiz we took in class. I agree with the results of both of the surveys!

    When I took the political typology survey I ended up right in the middle as post moderate. Compared to the survey I took in class they are very close together, in class I was middle leaning left. I agree with this survey when it comes to social and political views, I would say I am moderate.

    I took the political ideology survey above and it showed that I was a moderate in my political viewpoint. This was very simililar to the survey that I took in class that showed I scored 13/25 . This means that I have both Democratic and Republican viewpoints and I am pretty much in the middle of being liberal or conservative.

    According to the survey, I'm a moderate liberal. I chose liberal answers in response to all of the social issues, but my opinions about the economy are moderate. I believe a safety net for the poor is necessary in any modernized country, but I also know that competition in the job market is driven by a loosely regulated free market where anyone can succeed financially.

  31. Alyssa Maria Adler- I took the Political Ideology Test and according to the survey, I'm a solid liberal. I'm alike with 75% of Democrats that are solid liberals and along with 14% of the public. I believe that the govenrment should help out more to people in poverty. I also learned about myself that most of us liberals are female.

    After completed the survey I was shocked to find I was placed in a moderate leaning right political orientation. I found myself submitting a more liberal standpoint in the social issues while landing conservative choices in the Economic sections; leading to a moderate overall score.

    I took the "Political Ideology" survey and my results showed that I was a moderate, meaning i steer in the middle of democrats and republicans which is quite common. The results also said that I would most likely be a part of the Green Party. My results in this survey differed from the survey we took in class slightly. In class I was more liberal than moderate, but not by much whereas in the survey I am moderate

    I took the political survey and showed that i was moderate but a little right leaning. On the chart it compared me to Josef Stalin so i thought that was pretty cool. This survey was almost exact to the one we took in class ,which i got a 17 on meaning i was more conservative than liberal. As time goes on this could change a little bit because we are still young and our priorities will be different now to then.

    I took the "political Typology" survey and my results showed me that im just a little bit to the left of the ideology line. When i took the survey on paper in class i was more moderate than i was after i took the survey online. There is definitely a difference from the survey from class than the one online.

These results make some sense sense due to the facts that I am a teenager who lives in Minnesota, but also surprised me because I am a Hispanic person and we have a little bit of different ideas and different type ok thoughts and I've only been living in the US for 2 years.

    I took the Political Ideology Survey and my results came back as a moderate liberal. That wasn't surprising considering I was in the middle for the survey that we had taken in class. My survey also said that I mostly agree with the views of a Democratic and that I would also be interested in the Green party. My Ideology was shared with a couple members from the House of Representatives, who happened to be democrats.

    I took the Political Compass test and got scored as a left liberal or Economic Left/Right: -4.62 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.33. Which I believe matches nicely with a five I got in out in class survey. I did find it interesting as my score in the political compass almost matches up with the score of the Dalai Lama, with him just being a bit to the right of me.
