Political Typology Quiz

[traininthedistance]

What is Post-Modern in this context? I haven't a clue.

The rest of them make sense. New Coalition Democrat I took to be kind of a Blue Dog or maybe conservative on this, more liberal on that, etc. It looks like that's what it is.

Post-Modern is basically your Third Wayers.  New Coalition Dem is not so much Blue Dog- it's largely made up of minorities instead, who are a good deal more religious (and therefore socially conservative) than your average white liberal- but are more genuinely left on things like race, immigration and redistribution than what is usually described as "Blue Dogs".

[New_Conservative]

I got Libertarian.

[RedSLC]

Solid liberal.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

I clock in as a "libertarian" even though I am not a libertarian, so the typology sucks in my opinion. And a lot of the questions were way over the top Manichean; in my world, what I see are a lot of shades of gray, along with the blacks and the whites.

I agree, the questions force you into a position where you might have a different one to the options.

Solid Liberal.  Let my heart bleed all over you.

[Consciously Unconscious]

Staunch conservative, but I disagreed with most of the answers I chose.  They didn't have enough answers to choose from.

[Deus Naturae]

Libertarian

[MasterJedi]

Main Street Republican

[Wake Me Up When The Hard Border Ends]

Staunch conservative, although having 3-4 answers a question as opposed to 2 would have been better.

This happened to me, and I definitely don't identify as a libertarian.

Oh! Thanks, makes sense. It would be interesting to see someone post the hallmarks of P-M.

I fit Solid Liberal pretty well.

[Flake]

Solid liberal

[Goldwater]

I scored as Libertarian. Not entirely accurate, but I suppose it's the closest out of all of them. 

[dead0man]

libertarian....though like others, I thought the options were often not very good ones.

[politicallefty]

Unsurprisingly, solid liberal. I'm mostly a stereotype in terms of beliefs, though I wouldn't consider myself pro-government per se (although definitely not anti-government).

[Mechaman]

Solid Liberal, though I second TNF's thoughts on it haha.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

It called me a libertarian, which is wrong.

[Horus]

Post-modern. Looks about right. Seems to combine the best parts of solid liberalism with some libertarian principles.

[ilikeverin]

Solid Liberal.

Solid Liberal.

I remember when you were still a sorta liberal... like... a banana that still has just a bit of green.  Now you've ripened into a beautiful yellow banana.  Next you'll get brown spots and before you know it you'll transform into a beautiful loaf of banana bread.

I can think of no better compliment than being a nice loaf of banana bread

[TJ in Oregon]

I got Staunch Conservative, which is at least a reasonable answer for me, but I agree the quiz is not worded particularly well.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Post-modern, tho my interest in religion is apparently atypical for the group.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

I think it's kind of biased and not entirely accurate, but I got libertarian.
